Of course, liability still needs to be proven, but, assuming the studio is proven negligent, this just does not seem to be enough money to compensate this woman for her injuries. I'm struggling to figure out why she is not asking for more. Unless, of course, she is limited by UK law. But, man! 2.2M pounds is only about $2.77M. That just does not seem like enough. Check out the pictures of her curved spine.
Olivia Jackson, the stuntwoman who sustained horrific injuries when an action sequence on the movie Resident Evil: The Final Chapter went wrong, is suing for ÂŁ2.2 million.
The 35-year-old, South African-born performer was in a coma for 17 days, had to have her left arm amputated and suffered other catastrophic injuries while performing a motorbike stunt on the film’s set in South Africa in 2015.
Jackson, who is married to British stuntman David Grant and lives in the UK, was set to be filming a fight sequence, but when the scene was cancelled, she was instead required to stand in for lead actress Milla Jovovich in a high-speed motorcycle stunt.
However the sequence went wrong, and she collided head on with mobile camera equipment mounted on an SUV, which was supposed to have cleared a path for her as she rode at speed towards it.
As well as losing her arm, she suffered severe facial injuries, punctured lungs, brain swelling, a severed thumb, numerous broken bones, a permanently dislocated shoulder and a twisted spine.
