Geico is off the hook, at least for now, from paying a Missouri woman $5.2 million because she said she contracted a sexually transmitted disease in the car of a man who is insured by the company.
The Missouri Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled unanimously to overturn a lower court’s ruling that favored paying the woman. Instead, the state Supreme Court judges said Maryland-based Geico should have had a chance to weigh in sooner and sent the case back to the lower court for further deliberation.
According to court documents, the woman, identified as M.O., and a man, who were in a relationship, had sex in the man’s car. She contends she contracted HPV, human papillomavirus, because the man did not tell her he had the disease.
Missouri Supreme Court Overturns $5 Million Geico Payout To Woman Who Got Herpes In Car
Common fucking sense, in America? Who knew? Despite an insane lower court ruling, the Missouri Supreme Court has now vacated a $5 million payout that Geico was ordered to pay some stupid whore who says she got herpes inside a Geico-insured automobile. Via St. Louis Dispatch:
It’s unfathomable that the stupid whore is going to have another opportunity to present her ridiculous case in another trial, but hopefully she’ll lose and will have wasted so much money on attorneys, she won’t have anything left to pay for herpes medicine.
