TMZ: The "Transformers 3" extra who suffered brain damage in a grisly on-set accident just slapped Paramount and DreamWorks studios with a lawsuit for negligence.
The lawsuit -- filed in Cook County Court of Illinois -- alleges the studios and location managers for the film were negligent in coordinating and executing a stunt last month in Indiana.

Believe it or not, love it or hate it, but Michael Bay’s live-action Transformers franchise is one of the most successful movie series of all time, sitting at #8 on the highest-grossing franchises of all time, having posted a mind-blowing $3.76 billion in box office receipts with just four movies.
Yeah I remember when that news broke out that she was injured. I don't think you can blame the stunt coordinators for that though. It's part of the nature of that job, it comes with some risks, and despite your best efforts accidents happen sometimes.
I mean if they were really negligent about their stunts, then there would have been far more accidents. They had so many big stunts and stuff going on on that set, more would have happened.
For being paralyzed on one half of the body....and all she's asking for is 50,000 dollars....it'd be easy just to settle. I've seen the costs of therapy....most of that money would be gone pretty fast...especially on top of 24/7 care, drugs, etc....sucks for her though.
I understand it sucks, but this is why our system is horrible. You are a stunt person for a reason. The big show actors don't want to risk getting hurt or even death, so thats where you step in. She got hurt, oh well tough luck. It comes with the job.
If the stunt was dangerous or set up wrong its also her fault. Being a stunt person its your job to check it and tell people if its wrong or you are not compfortable with it.
Then again if the crew didn't make her sign a liability paper before filming, then they are screwed .
