The stuntwoman who suffered horrific injuries on-set of the 2016 film “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter” won her legal battle against a company involved in a South African court last month.

While standing in for Milla Jovovich, star of the “Resident Evil” film franchise, U.K.-based Olivia Jackson was severely injured when her motorcycle collided with a crane-mounted camera on the movie’s Cape Town set.
