According to The Hollywood Reporter, Morgan and fellow limo passenger Ardie Fuqua received a $90 million settlement from the retail giant after suffering extensive injuries when the town car they were riding in was hit by a Walmart truck driver late at night on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Ohio Casualty Insurance Company and Liberty Insurance Underwriters have filed suit alleging the settlement was ‘exorbitant’ and accusing Walmart of not engaging in a thorough investigation into the extent of the 30 Rock actor’s injuries and the impact of them on his future earnings potential.

They accuse the retailer of not getting their approval of the amount of settlement paid laguardia to nyu Morgan and his friends, and therefore they don’t believe they are responsible for the settlement payments.
The insurance companies demanded several months ago that Morgan hand over tax returns, independent medical exams and, THR.com noted after reviewing case filings, ‘documents generated after the settlement that refer or relate to his appearing on national television shortly after the settlement, driving a Lamborghini in midtown Manhattan shortly after the settlement, Tracy’s Morgan’s ability to walk around midtown New York shortly after the settlement and his appearing at the Emmy Awards to make a presentation.’
Walmart has vigorously defended its decision to make the enormous payouts stating they had a clear responsibility for the accident and wanted to settle claims rather than go to trial in what it described as a ‘business decision.’
