**Los Angeles, CA –** NBA superstars LeBron and Bronny James are embroiled in a legal battle stemming from a November 2022 car accident. Two women, April Almanza Lopez and Kiara Rae McGillen, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court in October 2024, alleging negligence by the James duo resulting in injuries and vehicle damage.
The plaintiffs claim the James’ vehicle collided with theirs on a highway in Littlerock, California, causing them significant neck, back, and shoulder pain, headaches, and substantial medical expenses (approximately $282,589 total). They also allege their vehicle was rendered unusable due to the accident.
LeBron and Bronny’s legal team vehemently denies the allegations, claiming any injuries sustained by the plaintiffs were due to their own actions and that the incident was unavoidable. They are seeking dismissal of the lawsuit.
The lawsuit’s filing, just hours before LeBron and Bronny made history by playing together in an NBA game on October 22, 2024, added an unexpected layer of drama to the momentous occasion. Despite the legal proceedings, LeBron publicly expressed immense pride in sharing the court with his son.
The next court hearing is scheduled for February 19, 2025. The legal process will determine the extent of liability, if any, for the James family.
