David Boreanaz, star of the WB's Angel, claims that injuries from a 1999 car accident have prevented him from working.
The heavy-browed TV hunk is suing the driver of a car that crashed into him last year.
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, north of Western Avenue, last Aug. 3. Kaniel, whose number appears to be unlisted, could not be reached for comment.
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 seeks 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.
"Being deprived of his car?" Hey, it's L.A., remember?
