According to court paperwork, Wilson's parents received a default judgment after Armstrong did not appear at the court hearing on June 17 or file an answer to the original lawsuit.
The amount is split three ways: $5 million to Karen Wilson, $5 million to Eric Wilson, and $5 million in exemplary damages that "the Court determines sufficient to deter the same or similar actions" by Armstrong in the future.
The Court also ordered that Wilson's parents could recover from Armstrong post-judgment interest of 8.5 percent per year and all taxable court costs.
