\"COLLINS_Lionsgate\"<\/p>\n

Actress Paz de la Huerta is suing Lionsgate for breach of contract in relation to injuries she sustained while filming the horror movie \u201cNurse 3D\u201d in October 2011. A video that allegedly recorded the accident shows a woman being thrown to the ground after being struck by a stunt ambulance while on the set of Nurse 3D. De la Huerta claims that she suffered numerous injuries as a result of being hit, including a broken tailbone and a spinal fracture, that reportedly required more than 20 surgeries to repair. The \u201cBoardwalk Empire\u201d and \u201cNurse 3D\u201d star has stated that the incident left her physically and emotionally scarred and unable to work. According to the New York Daily News<\/a>, De la Huerta\u2019s initial suit also included \u201cclaims that Lionsgate illegally over-dubbed some of her lines with the voice of an \u2018emotionless\u2019 actress,\u201d but Los Angeles County Judge Gerald Rosenberg sided with Lionsgate and agreed that the First Amendment protects using voice over artists. Despite being stripped down, the court refused Lionsgate\u2019s request to dismiss the case outright and has given the actress\u2019 two counts relating \u201cto her bone-cracking collision\u201d the green light to proceed in the $55 million suit.<\/p>\n
