That's why culture despises lawyers, but won't hesitate to make a money grab if the opportunity presents itself

It sounds like her lawyers just did their job representing her - and that GEICO didn't defend themselves or their insured well enough.
'"At the time of Geico's intervention, liability and damages had been determined by an arbitrator and confirmed by the trial court. GEICO had no right to relitigate those issues," the opinion stated.
The panel also wrote that Geico could have defended its interests by entering a defense of the insured individual. "GEICO did not take advantage of this opportunity, and instead denied coverage and refused to defend Insured," the opinion said."
They didn't even try they just said "nope not paying" but had they defended the insured, they probably could have fought it and won. Sounds like she just had better lawyers.
