Family files lawsuit over 'Transformers 3' injury
CHICAGO, IL
Gabriela Cedillo is being treated at the Rehabilitation
Institute of Chicago. She was working as an extra when she was hit
in the head by a piece of flying metal during the filming of a
stunt sequence in Hammond, Ind.
The lawsuit contends the Sept. 1 accident left her permanently
brain damaged, paralyzed on her left side and with her left eye
stitched shut.
The lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court on Tuesday
accuses Paramount Pictures of negligence.
In a statement, Paramount officials say they're sorry about the
accident and that they pledge to help Cedillo and her family.
