A Santa Clarita resident reached a settlement Friday with Mel Gibson’s ex-girlfriend, Oskana Grigorieva, after a 2015 traffic crash.

The jury announced that Meghan Watts would be awarded a total of $13,370, an amount almost three times less than what Watts’ attorney asked for.

Watts was seeking approximatelty $48,000 in damages for lingering injuries, according to her attorney, Steven Simons.

The two lawyers gave their final arguments to a Los Angeles Superior Court jury.  

“She still has pain in her cervical lumbar area,” said Simmons.

Grigorieva’s lawyer, Rajeev Patel, said Watts underwent medical treatments she probably didn’t need and that she could have improved her condition by exercising more.

A doctor for her case testified that Watts could’ve cured herself with 15 minute walks a day.

Grigorieva admitted to causing the accident, but her attorney initially offered about $10,000 in damages. Because she admitted guilt, the jury only had to decide Watts’ damages.

On Jan. 16, 2015 Meghan Watts took the day off to take flowers to her mother’s workplace for her birthday when the accident took place, according to court testimony.

While driving on the Ventura (134) Freeway through Burbank at about 3 p.m., she saw a freeway traffic advisory sign warning of an accident ahead.

Watts said she slowed down and eventually stopped, as did the driver of another car behind her.

Grigorieva was driving behind the car that was trailing Watts’ Volkswagen Passat.

Grigorieva failed to stop and hit the car ahead of her, pushing it forward into Watts’ vehicle, according to Watts.

Watts said she had her seatbelt on and was looking through the rear-view mirror when she realized the impact was unavoidable.

“I put my foot on the brake and gripped my steering wheel,” said Watts.

As the three drivers pulled to the right shoulder to exchange information, she asked Grigorieva and her daughter, who was fathered by the actor, if they were hurt.

“She said that they were doing okay,” said Watts.

Watts then drove to her boyfriend’s home and spent the weekend, cancelling their dinner plans because of the incident.

“I was too worked up to go,” said Watts.

The following Monday, she had pain in her neck, lower back and right knee, she told the courtroom. Her pain became worse, so she began seeing a chiropractor three days a week, where her treatment included electrical stimulation.

Grigorieva’s attorney, Rajeev Patel, said during the trial that Watts initially complained of only neck pain, but later expanded her injury claim after seeing the chiropractor and an attorney.

Grigorieva is a Russian pianist and singer who had a son with British actor Timothy Dalton in 1997.

She gave birth to her daughter Lucia in October 2009.

She and Gibson ended their relationship a year later and Grigorieva filed a restraining order against the actor to keep him away from her and their child when the pair broke up. Gibson also obtained a restraining order against Grigorieva on June 25, 2010.

In August 2011, Gibson settled with Grigorieva and she was awarded $750,000, joint legal custody and a house in Sherman Oaks to live with their daughter until the girl turns 18.
