Geico has been ordered to pay $5.2 million in damages to a woman who contracted a sexually transmitted disease in the insured vehicle of her then-boyfriend, a state appellate court ruled.

{So does this mean my crew when contracting STDs from wenches can get money from the ship insurance we have? We're gonna be rich!}

I wish it were.  I mean America's insurance rates increase because of people having sex & contracting STDs in cars & insurances have to cover this?  Not even their cars, someone else's cars!!!!!


Does this mean if they have sex, she gets pregnant an abortion is now covered by car insurance?  I am not even sure how this kind of logic is viable in a sane society.

It sure would be interesting to see the clause in the insurance policy that covers this situation, because I don't get it, either. Frankly, it aggravates me; especially the part where the court told Geico they had no room for an appeal. But the woman who had (presumably consensual sex in the vehicle did?
And, $5.2 million? Seriously?

There has to be more to this story. At least I hope there is.

I found an update. Looks like for now GEICO doesn't have to pay. I'm really curious how this plays out.

In this case, I think this is the proper ruling.

so if i impregnate a girl while im riding my pony, i can get Mutual of Omaha to pay for the birth because Marvin Perkins took Dolly Parton  while he sewed his oats in Wild Kingdom?

From that Jalopnik article:

This week, the Missouri Supreme court’s ruling was unanimous in Geico’s favor. The court says that Geico should get a chance to defend itself over the claims sending the case back down to the lower courts for more deliberation. This may end up being a long fight, but it doesn’t look like the woman will be seeing a penny of that money any time soon.

Oh, to see the sourpuss look on that STD-ridden chickipoo, when she got the news.

Insurance companies will add a clause to avoid covering this in the future.

Does this mean Yellow Freight has to pay wages to all those lot lizards...who take a load?

You know, we have absolutely no Rule of Law, anymore.
