An extra for “Transformers 3″ was seriously injured on the set and suffered severe skull injuries. Paramount Pictures has offered to pay the medical bills for the hurt cast member, but now they are suing for more, reports TMZ.

Paramount has agreed to cover Gabriela Cedillo’s ”reasonable and necessary medical expenses,” but her lawyer Todd Smith is fight for more, claiming “Medical bills are just the beginning … her ability to earn income is enormously affected.”

We think that’s not unreasonable. Considering this lady’s life has been seriously impaired while working, Paramount should cough up the dough!
