That’s arbitration, not mediation. Mediation is not binding.
Hey if it works for auto insurance is it covered by home owner insurance? How about renters insurance?
Auto insurance companies make big bucks from medical bill coverage because most people who are injured in their car (even in a collision) will use their health insurance for coverage instead of their auto insurance.
That's why my medical insurance company was pushing me for my car insurance info when I smashed my thumb in my car door and needed stitches. I played dumb about whether I had medical coverage because I really didn't want an accident claim on my car insurance because they can jack up rates but the medical insurance is on a group rate not directly affected by my claims.
Doesn’t work like that.
She claimed he negligently transmitted the disease. So she sued the man.
His insurance company owed him indemnity because the negligence arose in relation to the use of the vehicle, just like if he hit someone with it.
There are loading/unloading cases like this with drill pipe (pipe falls off truck when loading because someone was being an idiot).
His homeowners’ insurance probably would pay, too, if he nailed her at his house, just like if you negligently harm someone in your house.
How could any insurance company, even with the worst lawyers, not win this lawsuit? If they’re going to be that stupid with their policy-holders’ premiums, it’s time to stop buying car insurance.
Was it an SUV ?? Bad enough SUV are running people down
You now can give you a STD !!!!!!!!!
I don’t see any mention of what kind of car. Shouldn’t the car’s manufacturer have to pay too? They created the attractive nuisance.
Notice it didn’t hit the homosexual community spreading
a disease far and wide at bath houses.
The man did not hit the woman with his car. His car was not
involved with the transmission of the disease. Some flaw in
his vehicle didn’t inflict this on her.
She did by using poor judgment.
If she thinks she can get funds from his investments/assets
fine. This is not the same thing at all.
As I said, every woman who contracted VD at a hotel would
then be able to go after the hotel.
Just nonsense...
I appreciate your attempt at a rational response, but I’m
not buying.
Peter Hardeman Burnett was the first American governor of California. He was born in Tennessee, lived in Jackson Co. for a while, was an early settler in Oregon and then among the first Americans to go to California in the gold rush. In his memoirs he has stories about Jackson County lawsuits.
One I recall has to do with someone being accused of selling whiskey to an Indian, which was against the law.
The store had a large container of whiskey and the customer would bring his own bottle, which the storekeeper would fill up using a ladle. The eyewitness in the case had been in line and saw the storekeeper fill the Indian's bottle. He had also bought whiskey and could testify that the liquid in his bottle had been whiskey. The storekeeper was acquitted because the witness had not actually tasted the liquid in the Indian's bottle.
“Geico ordered to pay Missouri woman $5.2 million after she contracted STD in a car”
Geico needs to hire cheaper whores.
Trial Lawyers.
When shtf, have a couple on your list.
This story changes the meaning of “deep pockets”...
What was the Make and Model of the car?
There are deeper pockets than Geico.
wow you mean all I have to do to become a millionaire is get some girl with a relatively harmless std to have sex with me in a car with no protection?
= = =
OK
The hot-crazy graph just went 3D with a new axis.
If they extend this to house insurance as well, good luck affording the premiums.
It was the means of transmission.
Thanks folks, I'll be here all night - try the veal.
Respect!
Like its the guns that kill people not people, insane
