Helen Huntis suing the limousine service that was operating the vehicle she was riding in during a serious car crash in October 2019.
On October 16, 2019, the Academy Award winner was in the backseat of an SUV in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles when her vehicle was T-boned after attempting to drive through an intersection.
Video footage of the accident showed the SUV rolling over on its side from the impact.
In her complaint, Hunt is seeking “compensatory damages” against BLS, citing “personal injury, wage loss, hospital and medical expenses, general damage, loss of earning capacity” and other damages — specifically “loss of earnings, emotional distress, pain and suffering, economic and non-economic damages.”
The complaint also says that Hunt, as the plaintiff, “alleges the acts of defendants were negligent.”
A representative for Hunt did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
