In the initial October 2024 filing, their attorney writes that the two women had paid for “physicians, surgeons and others for examination, treatment and care” and expect to pay future medical expenses related to the crash.

The two women also allege their car was “damaged and depreciated” in the crash, claiming the vehicle was unable to be used afterwards.

The complaint was filed just hours before LeBron and Bronnymade NBA historyon Oct. 22, 2024 when they became the first father-and-son duo to ever play in a game together. The Lakers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 110-103 that night.

LeBron was in great spirits after the game as he reflected on the historic evening. “That moment, us being at the scorer’s table together and checking in together is something I will never forget. No matter how old I get, no matter how my memory may fade as I get older or whatever, I will never forget that moment,” he said.

And despite the complaint filed against him and his son that day, LeBron went on to say, “Everything was just great today for me — everything," after the game.

He added, “From the moment I woke up, I saw my daughter before she went to school, then I went to work and saw my son at work, get to the game, just everything. It was a great moment.”
