That's some comprehensive coverage.

A Missouri woman was awarded $5.2 million in a settlement from insurance company GEICO after contracting a sexually transmitted disease from her partner in his vehicle, which was insured by the company, court documents show. The Missouri Court of Appeals upheld that award this week. . . .

In April 2021, GEICO denied coverage and refused her settlement offer, according to the Missouri Court of Appeals filing. The case was then sent to an arbitrator.

The arbitrator determined that "there was sexual activity in (insured's) automobile" that "directly caused, or directly contributed to cause" the woman to be infected with HPV, despite her former partner's knowledge of his positive HPV diagnosis, according to the filing.

The real story here is that an individual actually won versus a company in arbitration.

I would have thought the real story was that, sure, there are really fucking stupid arbitrators out there.  But I no longer care, let the redistribution of wealth continue.  How long until Rob Walton gets sued because the Broncos didn't win the Super Bowl?
