A Transformers: Dark of the Moon extra who was critically injured when a stunt went awry during production two years ago will receive an $18 million settlement.
Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks agreed to the payout to cover the cost of Grabiela Cedillo's soaring medical bills, as well as the damages for pain and suffering the 26-year-old endured from the mishap, which left her with permanent brain damage.
The settlement was announced by the woman's attorneys in Chicago today and approved by a Cook County judge.
"She is on her feet and talking and for that we are thankful," her lawyer, Todd Smith, told reporters at a press conference. "On the other side, she has significant cognizant impairment and with a period of hallucinations…She is going to have issues for the rest of her life."
