Just... I can't believe the appeals court sided with her on this. What's next? Child support as well?

Dumb question: Who has an auto insurance policy with a liability limit high enough to pay a $5.2 million claim?

I'll have to read the details of the story, but this sounds like it has to be some kind of umbrella liability coverage tied to an auto insurance policy.

“Just... I can’t believe the appeals court sided with her on this.”

The problem is a woman or child is “injured” and directly in front of the jury. The other side is a faceless “rich” corporation with a smart-ass sarcastic lawyer representing them. How heartless can a juror be? Afterall, no one is injured if this faceless corporation helps out. The injured are after all poor, innocent, helpless people. There really is no defense against a jury intent on helping these poor people. Now, if the jury had to pay...different story. They complainants are evil vampires who need to suck it up and just go away.

If any party is “at fault” it would be her for agreeing to have casual sex in some man’s rented car.

And each day I think that respect for the law cannot go lower. Silly me. Given this silliness and the crap going on with the woke folks, etc. the “law” will soon learn that it is only obeyed if it is respected by the majority. That exists no longer.

Steve Lehto has a good YouTube video on this. They had the opportunity to intervene and represent the man for a million dollar claim and they refused. They didn’t want to get involved and said no way were they going to pay. Big mistake. The two parties agreed to arbitration (something insurance companies push on consumers) and the arbitrator ruled against the man( and insurance company) and awarded higher damages. Now when presented with a claims to settle by court order, NOW they want to intervene. Too little, too late. By now car companies are adding new exclusions to every policy they issue to avoid this in the future.

A Missouri court on Tuesday upheld a judgment that awarded the money to the woman, who is referred to "M H.O."
Fixed!

Thats a lie. “M.O.” caught an STD way before 2017.

This is so silly it does not even warrant a response. Let us hope Geico takes this one up to the Supreme Court.

The end is here. It seems as though the US is done. All that is left is for the libs to do is round up the remaining conservatives and send us to the re-education and extermination camps.

The policy owner asked Geico to defend him in arbitration.

Geico said, "Nah, we are sure you can figure it out. It is not like we are a company you have paid premiums to or anything."

Now Geico wants to be involved.

But since they were not a party to the proceedings they gave up their rights.

I find it as funny as a Biden speech when the insurance company does not want to do their job and gets caught in their own trap.
