According to court filings, a Missouri woman was granted $5.2 million in a settlement from insurance firm GEICO after catching a sexually transmitted disease from her partner in his GEICO-insured vehicle. This Thursday, the Missouri Court of Appeals maintained the award.
According to court filings, the woman, a Jackson County resident, said she caught Human Papillomavirus (HPV) from her partner. The Missouri Court of Appeals issued a ruling on Tuesday that upheld the original Jackson County Circuit Court arbitration verdict against GEICO.
Elon Musk was quick to respond to this news, he said Crazy damages claims like this are a big part of why car insurance costs so much. He even went ahead and said It should be possible to sue law firms for pursuing insane damages claims.
