Liability incorrectly placed -GEICO responsible for STD

[RR 314]

Geico took it to arbitration. Lost the arbitration and a court upheld that arbitration was binding.

Something odd is going on here. She filed a "claim" against the carrier. It is somewhat unclear what happened after that as the procedural history is poorly reported.

Article states:

Geico appealed, claiming it never had a chance to contest the claim.

"But GEICO did have the opportunity to participate and defend its interests — including the ability to challenge liability and damages — by entering a defense of Insured," according to the appeals court opinion, which put the word "did" in bold italics.

It appears Geico did not "enter a defense"--at least according to the COA. Says they did not enter "defense of insured." I presume they did not participate in the arbitration as they maintained they had no contractual obligation to defend under the cause of action. In hindsight they should have sent a 26 year old associate to ask the arbitrator, "Were you sick the day they taught law in law school?"

Sad world we live in. Settlement should have been $0 and she gets a slap across her empty head.

No problem, the lizard gots plenty of money !

[Gumbo Man]

If the trashy beoch actually collects that money she’ll be broke within a year with nothing to show for except a long trail of STD transmittals.

Dang! Wish I had known this would work. My oldest son's seed was no doubt planted in a 1980 Olds Cutlass.

Maybe State Farm would have been a good neighbor and paid the hospital bill

Hospital bills azz!!! If State Farm was your carrier I’d submit the entire bill for what it took to raise him. We gonna start getting paid now.

Wonder if she blew a tranny in the car too.

It was the lizards fault.

So… going forward…
If a lady gets unintentionally and undesireably impregnated in a GEICO insured vehicle… they may have to pay for an abortion and associated costs?

The real victim here is the guy. His insurance rates are going to go through the roof.

So if a female gets pregnant from having sex in a car, the car owner's insurance would cover the accident?


You can't get an insurance company to pay the proper value on a totaled car, but they will pay 5.2 million to fix a health problem, that may cost $30,000 to take care of at todays rates. No insurance policy ever in history, that I know of covers health problems that may have been caused by a vehicle's owner. They can't even prove she got the HPV, from him in the car. Maybe they can prove she got it from him, but they can't prove when and where. But it really does not matter, since that's not what car is insured for.

This stupidity, opens the doors for insurance companies getting told they have to pay for pregnancies, or transfer of diseases, in cars, homes and businesses.

The insurance companies will have to write clauses stating in bold print they are not liable for such things, in most every insurance policy, or they will all shut their doors inside of five years.

Yep, that pour guy, ain't going to be able to get insurance from anyone in the future. Every insurance company will know who he is and refuse to sell him insurance. They won't sell anyone else insurance, if his name is put on the policy.
