Angels Car Crash
David Boreanaz, claims that injuries from a 1999 car accident
have prevented him from working and is suing the driver of the car that crashed
into him.
According to the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit, Oren Kaniel's 1993 Mazda
ran into the actor's 1999 Mercedes-Benz on the Ventura Freeway in Los Angeles,
last Aug. 3.
Boreanaz alleges that he "was hurt and injured in his health, strength, and
activity" and suffered "injury to [his] nervous system."
The injuries "have caused and will continue to cause [me] great physical,
mental, and emotional pain, anguish, and suffering," Boreanaz claims,
according to the lawsuit. The actor, whose TV vampire character regularly gets
into full-on fights, does have a stunt double for the more serious on-set
battles. However, he claims that his injuries have prevented him "from
attending his usual occupation, thereby suffering a loss of earnings and
profits, as well as a loss of earning capacity."
He is seeking damages for pain and suffering, medical care, loss of earnings,
repairs to his car, being deprived of his car while it was fixed, and damage to
his personal property.
