iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove, lost millions due to the road accident in 2011. Miranda Cosgrove and her mother Chris Cosgrove have both filed a lawsuit against the drivers, they deemed responsible for the horrific crash in Illinois in August 2011. Cosgrove claimed that she lost over $2.5 million in earnings.
Court documents showed that iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove lost millions of dollars because of two careless drivers. This week, Cosgrove, famous for her role in the Nickelodeon TV series iCarly has filed a lawsuit against the drivers, who were involved in the 2011 accident.
In August of 2011, Miranda Cosgrove was in a tour bus with her mother Chris, heading to Kansas from Illinois. Miss Cosgrove was set to perform at the “Dancing Crazy Tour.” Her tour bus collided with a tractor-trailer, which left her with a broken ankle.
The Cosgroves say the driver of the bus, the driver of the tractor and the transportation companies are at fault. They claimed the crash could have been prevented if both of the drivers kept a “safe and proper lookout.”
Cosgrove’s mother Chris was also injured during the accident. According to the suit, Cosgrove was forced to cancel 25 booked shows and she lost $400,000. She was also forced to annul future concerts and her lawyers estimate that loss to $560,000.
Cosgrove who used to earn $180,000 per episode of iCarly, also blamed her injuries for the fact that she was dropped by record company, Sony. The documents showed that the crash is the reason she lost a Neutrogena contract worth $400,000.
The lawyers and accountants working for Miss Cosgrove did the math and they believe that she suffered total losses of more than $2.5 million. While she may have lost $2.5 million, Cosgrove is seeking only $50,000 in damages. The mother is asking for the same amount.
The year after the crash, Miranda Cosgrove was listed in the Guinness World Records as the Highest Paid Child Actress for iCarly and purchased a house for $2.65 million.
