Woman who caught STI from ex-boyfriend in back of Hyundai claims £4m on car insurance
£4.1million ($5.2m) on car insurance.The woman, from Missouri, America, was awarded the hefty sum in a settlement against her ex-boyfriend's car insurance company after she claimed she had received a sexually transmitted disease while in the car.The pair had sex in the back of his 2014 Hyundai Genesis and five years on from the encounter, the Missouri Court of Appeals ruled that the insurance company most fork over the millions.GEICO General Insurance Company must pay the millions to the woman after a three-judge panel ruled in favour of the woman.Court papers revealed that the woman had notified GEICO in February 2021 that she and the insured ex-boyfriend had been in a romantic relationship since 2017.She told of her intention to seek monetary damages from the insurance company and cited contracting HPV from an insured member of the car as her reason.The woman alleged in court documents that her ex-boyfriend had been diagnosed with a throat cancer tumour and HPV, yet continued to have unprotected sex with her while knowing the risks.In May 2021, the arbitrator of the case found that sex in the car had "directly caused, or directly contributed to cause" the HPV infection.The ex-boyfriend was found liable for not disclosing his infection status, in turn meaning GEICO had to pay out £4.1million for damages and injuries. Los Angeles attorney Miguel Custodio said that the settlement was reasonable, Daily Mail reported.

Nearly half of Brits can't bear giving up meat in bid to live more sustainably
Millions of Brits admit they aren’t being as sustainable as they could be – because they can’t bear the idea of giving up meat.A study of 2,000 adults found 68% aren’t doing everything they could be to help the environment, with 35% feeling guilty over how little they do for the planet.But nearly half can’t bear the idea of giving up meat to be environmentally friendly, while 27% are confused about how best to be green.And 55% cite cost as a top barrier to making more sustainable choices.Others are too busy (20%), like to buy new things (21%), or think they are hampered by where they live (10%).Those aged 18-24 are least likely to adopt a sustainable lifestyle due to their busy work life, and are the most confused over what they should and shouldn’t do to lead a more eco-friendly life.It also emerged one in five adults feel it’s been harder to do things to help the environment over the last 12 months.A spokesman for car firm Hyundai, which commissioned the research to launch its Drive the Change Tour, said: “Many seem to be struggling when it comes to making greener changes, but younger people seem to find it harder than most.“It’s important to recognise every age group will have its own challenges, based on the different things people have going on at different stages of their lives.”The study also found those aged 55 to 64 are least likely to feel they currently do everything they can to help the environment.While seven in ten 18- to 24-year-olds believe the last year has helped them understand more about what they can do to help the planet.It also emerged nearly a fifth (19%) of those who try to be green at least some of the time have told someone off because they were doing something bad for the environment.Partners
