Somewhere I have read about the 'Stella' awards, the intimation being that there ain't no such official critter. In the meantime here are:

"Other examples of fabricated "true cases of lawsuit abuse":

§        Kathleen Robertson of Austin received $780,000 from a jury after she tripped over her own son in a furniture store.
§        Carl Truman, a 19-year-old in Los Angeles, was awarded more than $74,000 when his hand was run over by a neighbor. The neighbor did not see Truman, who was in the process of stealing his hubcaps.
§        Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pa., was given a $500,000 award after he was inadvertently trapped in the garage of a house that he was burglarizing.
§        A Mr. Grazinski won more than $1,750,000 and a new Winnebago after he put his new motor home on cruise control at 70 mph and then went into the back to fix himself some coffee — only to crash on the highway."
