Premi Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 @GurjantGnostic - what the...?! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61763333 Car insurer Geico may have to pay $5m after woman contracts STI in a vehicle A woman may be in for a $5.2m (£4.2m) payout after she allegedly contracted a sexually transmitted infection while having sex in a car. The US woman, identified in court files as 'MO', said she caught the human papillomavirus (HPV) from having sex with her then-partner in his car. This week, the Missouri Court of Appeals upheld a judgment that awarded MO a hefty settlement - to be paid by Geico, which insured the vehicle. Geico is contesting the decision. According to court documents, MO said she learned she was infected with HPV in 2018, and claimed her former partner knew he had virus but did not disclose his condition, leaving her with "past and future medical expenses" and "mental and physical pain and suffering". In February 2021, the Jackson County woman told Geico, known in the US for its popular green gecko mascot, that she intended to seek damages of $1m following the sexual interaction in her then-partner's Hyundai Genesis, asserting that the insurance firm's policy covered her injuries. The insurance company denied coverage and refused her settlement offer, court documents show. MO and her former partner entered arbitration. The arbitrator sided with MO. In May 2021, the arbitrator awarded MO $5.2m in damages, to be paid by Geico. Jackson County Circuit Court later confirmed the award. Geico appealed the judgement. But on Tuesday, a three-judge panel confirmed the lower court's ruling and said the insurance company failed to defend its own interests by entering a defense of the insured man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
