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

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.

so just got more info on it.

GEICO denied the initial claim AND denied "defense coverage". So the car owner and plaintiff went to arbitration.

GEICO policy verbiage " we will pay the amount you are legally obligated to pay"

Shoulda defended the client outright, instead of denying defense.
