Only $9,472 for a head injury that put TV stunt man in a coma
A motion picture company has been issued a serious citation by OSHA for an incident in August 2018 that left a stunt man hospitalized for weeks with serious injuries.
The agency says Eye Productions, Inc. failed to protect stunt coordinator Justin Sundquist from hazards while filming the CBS television show MacGuyver in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. Sunquist fell from the back of a vehicle that was traveling at approximately 18 mph, according to OSHA. News reports said his head injury was so severe that part of his skull had to be removed to relieve pressure on his brain. Sundquist was in a coma for several days and is still undergoing rehabilitation.
