Geico ordered to give woman $5,200,000 after she gets an STD while having unprotected car sex with her boyfriend

Los Angeles personal injury attorney Miguel Custodio, co-founder of Custodio and Dubey LLP, told DailyMail.com that the settlement was reasonable.

'If you think about it as an injury sustained while in that person's vehicle, then it totally falls within what an insurance company would be required to pay,' he said.

Now that opens up a lot of terrible possibilities for those with auto and homeowners insurance.
Sure GEICO and all these insurance companies can get fucked but at the same time now I can be sued for tons of random shit and all my rates will go up.
This seems like a terrible precedent.

says the decision was reached by arbitration.

no clue how this shit works but ya i guess if its not going through standard court exceptionally dumb outcomes can occur. but from what ive read about arbitration they can request for a court case within 60 days.

Right.
This was arbitration.
They played themselves, lol.

Not too worried anymore as the legal beagles will make all sorts of amendments to get around their own arbitration clauses.

That's wacky US law for ya.

If insurance companies can get sued for issues that have nothing to do with car accidents, then for any of you wanting some insurance money left it on the table.

Think of all the times you were in the car with family and you and your siblings were hitting each other. Could had gone after dad's insurance company and made a few bucks.

You dont even have to wait for car issues. It sounds like something that would be similar across all insurance. Next time someone does something dumb to you at your house or their house, go after the home insurance company and get a payout.

The lady celebrating her win.

No idea what the std she caught is though.

But I am beyond amazed/confused as to how the hell she won this.

HPV which like 80% of sexually active adults have. Which makes it even more ridiculous cause she could have had it before or even from the same person but at her home. How can she even prove that.

Not exactly.
A. It’s possible to not show signs for years, even decades.
And B. The immune system can take care of it, so you wouldn’t even know if you have hpv either.
Don’t get sick, protect your dick

This isn't the court system (well maybe the supreme court), this is Geico getting fucked over by the loophole that they use to fuck people over. Geico included a forced arbitration clause so that they avoid class action lawsuits and now they get this insane arbitration result. Reap what you sow.
