Court Pulls Insurance Award In Sex Accident Claim

Posted by samzenpus on Monday December 21, 2009 @04:12AM from the look-before-you-leap dept.

JamJam writes "The Supreme Court of Canada has taken away a $200,000 insurance award made to a Vancouver man who became paralyzed after a series of medical calamities arising from him having unprotected sex. The man was 'accidentally' infected with genital herpes which lead to him being totally paralyzed from his mid-abdomen down. The Supreme Court deemed this a non-accident since the man was was aware that having unprotected sex could result in him contracting a sexually transmitted disease, although he did not actually know that any of the women had genital herpes."

This just in, crossing the street can lead to being struck by a moving vehicle. Insurance companies are no longer liable to pay accident victims because they now know crossing the street can be dangerous.
