5 years later, the verdict is finally out! The stuntman who lost his limb in the "Resident Evil" movie accident wins the lawsuit

I don't know if you still remember that the filming process of the movie "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" released in 2017 was full of accidents. In 2015, in addition to the death of a male stuntman during the filming, a veteran female stuntman Olivia Jackson was seriously injured in an accident, was in a coma for two weeks and was forced to have her leg amputated. Now, five years later, Olivia claims that she has finally won the legal victory in the lawsuit against the producer.

According to HollywoodReporter, a court in South Africa (where the filming took place) ruled that the accident Olivia encountered during the stunt shooting was caused by negligence of the producers. In addition, the judge also dismissed the counterclaim against Olivia, which accused Olivia's motorcycle driving skills of being partly responsible for the accident...

In September 2015, Olivia was acting as a double for Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. While filming a scene where she had to jump on a motorcycle, she unfortunately crashed into a camera boom in mid-air and was seriously injured. She lost a thumb on the spot, her carotid artery was severed, her humerus, clavicle, radius, ulna and ribs were all fractured to varying degrees, five spinal nerves were torn, her face was severely injured, and she was in a coma in the hospital for two weeks. At the time, Milla expressed her grief on social media, revealing that it was a miracle that Olivia survived.

Olivia said of the verdict: "I miss my old face, I miss my old body, I miss my old life. At least now I finally have a fair legal verdict to prove that this stunt was poorly planned and it was not my fault."

Before the accident, Olivia Jackson also served as a stand-in for Nebula Nebula played by Karen Gillan in "Guardians of the Galaxy", a stand-in for Gwyneth Paltrow in "The Duke and Duchess", a stand-in for Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch in "Avengers 2", and a stand-in for Lily James in "Cinderella".
