AThis Is Usemployee has filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures Corporation where she says she was injured after an accident on set.
Accusing the studio and other unnamed defendants of keeping “their premises in an unsafe condition,” Stager claims there was “maintenance or repair work to be done below Stage 3” where the show was filming.
“As part of this work, a hole in the stage surface or flooring was created,” the documents state. “While [Stager] was walking on the stage surface, she fell in the hole, causing her to sustain serious injuries and damages.”

At this time, it is unknown how much she is suing for but Stager claims she suffered wage loss, hospital and medical expenses, general damage, loss of earning capacity and other damages, including “pain and suffering.”
