A woman has been awarded $5.2 in damages from Geico after she was diagnosed with HPV after having unprotected sex in the car with a former romantic partner after going through an arbitration process. The woman alleged that her partner did not tell her about being infected with the virus, giving grounds for assault charges, and since Geico has an arbitration clause in their insurance contracts, the woman was permitted to take the claim into arbitration, and for once the corporation got screwed. Cenk Uygur and Adrienne Lawrence discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"We're barely more than a week into June and it's already a banner month for weird car sex stories. This week's comes way out of left field (which is somewhere near Kansas City, apparently) thanks to a ruling by the Missouri Court of Appeals ordering insurance juggernaut Geico to pay a woman $5.2 million in damages after being infected with HPV during intimate activities that took place in an insured personal vehicle. Look, we warned you.
Per The Kansas City Star, the woman initiated a claim with Geico in February 2021 after learning that she'd contracted the sexually transmitted infection from a partner who knew but did not disclose his status. Since the incident in question happened in her partner's car, she argued that his liability insurance was responsible for damages. A settlement was reportedly offered to Geico, whose lawyers declined. As anybody who's had legal entanglements with an insurance company can probably guess, the case went to arbitration."
