Although Helen Hunt walked away from her car accident with minimal long-lasting effects, that wouldn’t be the last we’d hear of it. Two years later, in November of 2021, Hunt actually sued BLS Limousine Service of Los Angeles, Inc, the limo company which owned the SUV she was riding in, according to People. Due to the language in Hunt’s filing, it seems that she felt the driver, who was employed by the company, was responsible for the scary car accident. Hunt’s lawsuit stated that the company was responsible for her “personal injury, wage loss, hospital and medical expenses, general damage,” and ” loss of earning capacity.” Hunt also cited “loss of earnings, emotional distress, pain and suffering, economic and non-economic damages.”

Unsurprisingly BLS Limousine Service did not agree with Hunt’s version of events. One month later, the company denied causing the car crash, according to Radar. “PLAINTIFF failed to exercise that degree of care and caution which an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under the same or similar circumstances,” read the company’s court documents. The outlet also noted that BLS’s court documents urged the courts to hold the driver of the second car responsible. “That the act or omission, if any, of these answering DEFENDANTS were not a substantial factor in bringing about the PLAINTIFF’S alleged injuries or damages and, therefore, was not a contributing cause thereof, but was superseded by the acts or omissions of others, which were independent, intervening, and proximate causes of any injury or damage suffered by the PLAINTIFF.”
