1099-Misc

I won a small claims case and the company paid my lawyer my the amount I won. I received a 1099-Misc from the company I won and they have the amount the paid me in box 10 - Gross proceeds paid to an attorney. Do I need to report it as taxable? If I do, TurboTax says I need to fill out a Schedule C - problem is, I don't own a business at all, so I'm not sure how to proceed
