In the suit, Christina Fulton claims Erika's ex-husband, Tom Girardi's law firm, owes her a payout after negotiating her a settlement following a 2016 automobile accident.
In the court docs obtained by ET, Fulton, who is suing for negligence, breach of settlement and fraud, among other things, claims she was represented by Erika's's law firm, Girardi Keese, after sustaining severe injuries during an automobile accident in 2016. Following the accident, Girardi Keese was able to negotiate Fulton a confidential settlement agreement of $924,300, which was awarded to her on in 2019, but now, Fulton is claiming she did not receive a payout.
Fulton's legal team says that the Girardi Keese firm endorsed the check to be deposited for the actress, calling the negotiated check"a forgery and a lie," claiming that the check not only wasn't held in trust, it was spent, and not by Fulton. In the suit, Fulton goes on to claim that she believes, that as cases were settled at Girardi Keese, Erika would receive those funds and in turn, use them to pay for her and Tom's lavish lifestyle.
