That title is so funny. Then I read it and realized it’s an actual THING. [smh]
Heh. ;-)
Commnets about ambulace chasing lawyers is moot here. This is the insurance company suing their client. Not unusual.
Also the claim is the Mr. Brauner infected the young lady with HPV. The woman had already won a $5.2 million judgement. This is a description from an eariler court order sending the case to a federal court in Western Missouri.
This isn’t the typical insurance coverage dispute. Following alleged unprotected sexual activity with defendant Martin Brauner in his car, a Missouri woman-M.O.-allegedly contracted anogenital human papillomavirus (HPV) from him. M.O. then demanded $1 million in damages under Brauner’s Kansas Auto Insurance Policy issued by plaintiffs Geico General Insurance Company and Government Employees Insurance Company (collectively, “GEICO”). GEICO brought this declaratory judgment action against defendant Brauner and M.O., seeking a declaration of no coverage for M.O.’s alleged injuries. GEICO brought the action in our court because Brauner is a Kansas resident, the at-issue insurance policy is a Kansas Auto Policy, and some of the alleged actions that led to the underlying tort claim took place in Kansas.
Geico Gen. Ins. Co. v. Brauner, No. 21-2164-DDC-ADM, (D. Kan. Feb. 9, 2022)
Quite frankly, I don’t think the $5.2 million judgement is warrented. From another article:
According to the insurers’ memorandum in support of summary judgment, insured Martin Brauner and a woman identified as M.O. began a sexual relationship in November 2017 and engaged in unprotected sex at M.O.’s home, at Brauner’s home and inside his 2014 Hyundai Genesis.
M.O. was diagnosed with HPV in October 2018, but the two continued to have unprotected sex, the insurers say.
It doesn’t buff right out?
