Celebrities often appear as flawless people on the screen so we may forget they can bruise as well. Some celebrities have been hit hard with ghastly accidents, and they have bounced right back. Let’s get into some of the most mind-blowing stories.
Tracy Morgan
In 2014, actress Tracy Morgan was involved in an accident in New Jersey. The actress was in a limousine with other passengers when a Walmart truck hit them. The driver had been overworked and slept off on the wheel. Morgan herself was gravely injured in the crash, and her friend James McNair was killed. She was able to contact a Chicago truck accident law firm Malman Law, and got a settlement from Walmart.
She needed physical therapy after suffering broken ribs, a leg, and a traumatic brain injury. Despite the painful treatment and rehabilitation, Morgan made a full recovery.
Halle Berry
Everyone’s favorite Cat Woman has had a few accidents herself. She was first hurt on the set of Gothika in 2003. During a scene with co-star Robert Downey jnr, Berry broke her arm. The injury was so severe that she had to be hospitalized while production was paused. After her recovery, she had an accident the next year.
While filming Cat Woman, Berry opted to do her own stunts and ended up with a head injury. This injury made her take time to recuperate, but she made a full recovery.
