Geico may be on the hook for a $5.2 million legal settlement after a woman alleged she contracted a sexually transmitted disease in a car insured by the company.
A Missouri court on Tuesday upheld a judgment that awarded the money to the woman, who is referred to "M.O." in court documents. M.O. claimed she caught the human papillomavirus (HPV) from having sex in 2017 with a male partner in his 2014 Hyundai Genesis, which was covered by Geico, according to a 2021 complaint.
The woman, who learned she was infected with HPV in 2018, claimed the man knew he had HPV but failed to inform her, leaving her with "past and future medical expenses" and "mental and physical pain and suffering."

fixed it
The end is here. It seems as though the US is done. All that is left is for the libs to do is round up the remaining conservatives and send us to the re-education and extermination camps.
How can she be sure it wasn't the football team from the weekend before?
This was my second thought.
My first thought was why would an auto insurance company be responsible for sex in a car which was voluntarily engaged in by both parties?
She might have a case against the guy, but beyond that? No.
More proof that courts are broken/insane.
This arbiter is a kook. Makes you wonder if there is some sort of corruption or kickback scheme being played out here.
The cause and effect are too far distanced from each other for anyone to learn anything.
I would prefer that everyone simply understood that driving on the road is a risk of possible death or severe injury and that if they chose to do so, any tragedy they suffered would be on their own head. (barring deliberate injury of course.)
Sealy, Sterns & Foster next?
Yeah, that’s what it boils down to. His policy has a “stuff that happens because of your car” clause. Which is probably meant to cover stuff like collateral damage if the car lights on fire or the like. And the guy said “hey wonder if I can pull this off”. And so far yes.
So everybody should be expecting mail from your insurance company with some slight changes in language.
I don't believe courts should solidify an injustice simply because someone didn't comply with their arrogant rules.
This is wrong, and a court using it's power to enforce this evil thing makes the court evil too.
I fully understand why the insurance company would not take this seriously. What I do not understand is why *ANYONE* would take this seriously. In a just world, that woman goes to jail for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
This Arbiter smells fishy. What man would hold a car insurance company responsible because some woman consented to having sex in the seat of the car?
This started as idiocy and has now ended up being something very evil.
A rational judge should have looked at the woman and her attorney and said "You are both going to jail for contempt of court."
And then threw the whole thing out.
They have a very good reason. She was not injured as a result of a car accident. Furthermore, she is personally responsible for causing her own injury.
Her case, if any, is against the man with whom she voluntarily consented to have sex. Trying to get money out of an insurance company is just an attempt to steal.
Review the documentary “Idiocracy” where the evolution over time of liberal policies is taking us.
I’m explaining hypothetically how an insured can get $5.2 million from an insurance company when the policy limit is much lower.
99.9 percent of people who have insurance have no clue how it works 99.9% of the time.
Just by way of a very basic for instance, are people who refer to “their” insurance agent.
NO ONE who is insured has an insurance agent. Insurance companies have insurance agents. They sell to customers.
Even independent brokers are agents of the insurance companies they deal with, at least for the limited purpose of binding policies.
“So now she has a gecko in her vajajay?”
GEICO, so easy a slut can do it!
Geico said, "Nah, we are sure you can figure it out. It is not like we are a company you have paid premiums to or anything."
Now Geico wants to be involved.
But since they were not a party to the proceedings they gave up their rights.
I find it as funny as a Biden speech when the insurance company does not want to do their job and gets caught in their own trap.
Hell if people can sue gun manufacturers for one of their guns killing some one, what do you suppose is next beside this.
Suing a car manufacturer for someone raping you in a car
Suing a booze manufacturer for a person killing someone driving drunk
Suing a knife manufacturer for someone using one of their kiives to murder someone
etc etc etc
