The New York Daily News is reporting that Rosie Perez sustained an injury back in September 2009 on the Season 11 ‘Hardwired’ episode of Law and Order: SVU and is now suing due to two years of being plagued by the side effects.
Perez was injured on the set of the episode while being shaken by an extra during multiple shoots of a specific scene and since then, nothing has been the same.
Brian O’Dwyer, the lawyer representing Perez had the following to say about her injury:
She’s still suffering severe pain, numbness of the arms, and she’ll never be the same despite the surgery.
He then added that his client missed nearly a year’s worth of work, losing a number of roles she was slated for.
The lawsuit currently doesn’t specify much, but it appears that Perez will be suing for all sorts of damages.
