Two women who alleged they were injured in a traffic accident after Bronny James’ car collided with theirs in Littlerock in 2022 have dropped their lawsuit against Los Angeles Laker Lebron James’ son.
According to court papers filed Tuesday in Antelope Valley Superior Court by attorneys for April Almanza Lopez of Saugus and Kiara Rae McGillen, the plaintiffs are asking Judge Daniel L. Alexander to dismiss their case “with prejudice,” meaning it cannot be refiled.
The court papers do not state if a settlement was reached or if the women are not pursuing the case for other reasons. However, in November attorneys filed joint papers with the judge stating that mediation efforts were scheduled to begin late last month with attorney Amy Solomon serving as mediator.
According to the lawsuit filed in October 2024, the collision occurred on Pearblossom Highway near 87th Street on Nov. 13, 2022. McGillen was driving the plaintiffs’ car and Bronny James, now 21, the other car. His father, LeBron James, was a passenger. LeBron James, now 41, was dropped as a defendant in June 2025.
The Valencia women maintained they suffered injuries that caused medical expenses and impacted their employment. Lopez, who owned the plaintiffs’ car, also contends she incurred vehicle repair costs.
LeBron and Bronny James are the first father-son duo to play in an NBA game together.
