Olivia Jackson is the stunt double in the movie Resident Evil who lost an arm while filming
Olivia Jackson was the stunt double for Milla Jovovich, who after a series of unfortunate events lost an arm on the set of the film. Now, he has sued the production of the film Resident Evil: Final Chapter.
She has called as "horrendous injuries" the accident that occurred on a motorcycle while filming the film and that ended up taking her away from her profession, when she lost her left arm. The justification of the demand is "to prefer the financial, over the security of the people".
How did Olivia Jackson's accident happen?
She was originally hired for a violent and common scene, but plans changed at the last minute. She had to ride a motorcycle, do various dangerous maneuvers and in unstable weather conditions.
The goal was to ride the motorcycle at full speed against a camera that would be on a crane. She had to crash into the camera, however, before this happened the operator would raise the camera at the last moment.
At the time of taking the shot, everything presumably went as planned, but just in the final stretch the crane operator was unable to react in time, which caused it to hit the camera and thus tear the meat from its cheek, expose the teeth and cross the forearm from side to side.
From the time of the accident, the producers tell Olivia Jackson that insurance will cover everything, but they only gave her $33,000, and it was at this point that she discovered that she was never insured. In addition, this money that she received was really to pay for medical expenses, since the producer did not pay the expenses of her operation and time in the hospital either.
What is the Olivia Jackson lawsuit about?
What the risk actress is looking for is that she be recognized for all the damage that was caused by losing her arm. She states that she was always available to make these recordings because "health insurance and life policies" covered any fatality. Also, she lost a lot of money by not being able to be the stunt double in Wonder Woman.
In addition, he reminded the international press that one person lost his life during the filming of the film and another 16 people were injured.
