Woman wins $5.2 million suit against GEICO for catching STD in a car

I definitely need one of our legal gurus to explain this one. I can see suing the guy who infected her, but the car insurance company simply because it occurred in the vehicle? The vehicle didn't cause the injury. The guy did.

The arbitrator is stupid and ridiculous and the law is highly deferential to arbitration awards.

Here I’m sure that at some point GEICO adopted a policy favoring arbitration because it’s cheaper in the macro. Score this on the red side of the ledger.
