The two women suing LeBron James and his son Bronny James over an alleged car crash are demanding a hefty six-figure sum for medical bills as part of their court battle, In Touch can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, April Almanza Lopez and Kiara Rae McGillen, who sued LeBron, 40, and Bronny, 20, in October 2024, revealed the shocking number in court.

April said her injuries include neck pain, mid back pain, lower back pain with radiation, bilateral shoulder pain and headaches. She said her "medical specials" are in the approximate sum of $234,582.22.

Kiara said her injuries are neck pain, mid back pain, lower back pain and headaches. She listed the amount of her "medical specials" as $48,007.80.

In the lawsuit, April and Kiara accused LeBron and Bronny of negligence. The women said they were passengers in a vehicle driving in Littlerock, California, on November 13, 2022, when a car owned by LeBron and his son crashed into them.

They claim the defendants, "and each of them, so negligently owned, controlled, repaired, entrusted, maintained and operated an automobile as to cause it to, and it did, become involved in an accident or collision, injuring and damaging plaintiff as herein after described."

The women claimed LeBron and his son are the owners of the car.

They alleged as a result of LeBron and his son's conduct, they suffered personal injuries "which caused and will continue to cause pain, discomfort and physical disability."

April and Kiara claimed they racked up medical bills having their injuries treated. In addition, April said her car was seriously damaged.

Her lawyer wrote, "The aforementioned automobile of plaintiff April Almanza Lopez was damaged and depreciated so that repairs were necessary, the reasonable costs of repairs or the amount of depreciation being unknown at this time, and plaintiff will offer proof thereof at the time of trial."

On top of that, the plaintiffs, who said they were both employed, claim they lost out of wages due to the accident.

The lawsuit demanded unspecified general damages and medical expenses, along with money for the loss of the car and loss of income. In response, LeBron and Bronny denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

Their lawyer argued if the women were injured it was due to their own actions.

"For a second, separate and affirmative defense to each cause of action contained in plaintiffs' complaint, defendants allege that if plaintiffs suffered or sustained loss, damage or injury as alleged in the complaint, such loss, damage or injury was proximately caused and contributed to by plaintiffs in failing to conduct themselves in a manner ordinarily expected of a reasonably prudent person in the conduct of their affairs and person," LeBron's lawyer argued in court documents.

In addition, LeBron's lawyer said, "Defendants allege that the events, injuries, losses, and damages complained of in plaintiffs' complaint, if any there were, were unavoidable insofar as these answering defendants are concerned and occurred without any negligence, want of care, default or other breach of duty to plaintiffs on the part of said defendants."

LeBron and his son demanded the women take nothing from their complaint and the case be thrown out.

The lawsuit was filed hours after the NBA star and his son, who are both Lakers, played for the first time in a regular season game.
