LeBron and Bronny James Face Lawsuit Over Alleged Car Crash Incident

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claims that the James duo “negligently owned, controlled, repaired, entrusted, maintained and operated an automobile,” leading to the accident that resulted in injuries and damage to the plaintiffs’ car. The complaint details that the incident occurred on Pearblossom Highway, where McGillen was driving a vehicle owned by Lopez when the crash took place. However, the California Highway Patrol’s Antelope Valley office has no record of an accident reported for that day at that location, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

In their claims, McGillen and Lopez allege they have suffered personal injuries that will lead to ongoing pain, discomfort, and physical limitations. They state they have required medical attention and will continue to seek treatment in the future. The plaintiffs are pursuing unspecified damages for their alleged suffering. The law firm representing them, the Law Offices of Larry H. Parker, has yet to comment on the lawsuit, and no response has been received from LeBron James’s representative.

The legal action includes several unnamed defendants alongside LeBron and Bronny, indicating the potential for additional parties involved in the case. A court hearing is slated for February 19, 2025, where more details may emerge.

As LeBron continues his illustrious career in his 22nd NBA season, holding the title of the league’s all-time leading scorer, Bronny, who was recently drafted in the second round, is beginning his journey with the Lakers. In their first game together, LeBron scored 16 points, while Bronny struggled to find his shot but managed to contribute with a rebound. This legal issue, however, may overshadow their promising start on the court.
