Columbus,OH : Insurers challenge Walmart's settlement with Tracy Morgan on June, Tuesday 6th 2017

Two companies that insure Walmart are suing the retail giant, challenging its multi-million-dollar payout to actor Tracy Morgan. The comedian was seriously injured when a truck owned by Walmart slammed into Morgan's limousine van.

Now Walmart's insurers, Ohio Casualty and Liberty Insurance Underwriters, are claiming Morgan exaggerated his injuries to get the payout.

"He was a victim once. We're not going to allow him to be a victim again. And you have to understand that much of his injuries were emotional and psychological. He almost died," said Benedict Morelli, Morgan's attorney, only on "CBS This Morning."

Morelli said there is nothing relevant Morgan could say to help the insurers' case.

"The insurance companies in this case have been taking the premiums from Walmart for years and years and years. They know how to take the premiums. They just don't know how to pay out the money," Morelli said. "Because Walmart paid my clients directly, and now they're trying to get reimbursed from their insurers, they don't want to pay."
