Boston.com / A&E / TV / Ripa's sister wins $15 million in lawsuit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Linda Ripa, 30, was an aspiring model and actress when she was nearly killed in a 1999 car accident that fractured her pelvis, sternum and ankle and endangered her eight-month pregnancy. |
 | | Ripa had offered to settle for $2.4 million, but was turned down by the doctor, who said her nerve damage was caused by the crash, not the efforts to heal her. |
 | | She said Ripa lost her ability to work as an actress, and, because of her pain, could not accept a $150,000-per-year job to work as her sister's personal assistant. |
