Arnold Schwarzenegger Blames ‘Careless’ Bicyclist in Car Crash Lawsuit, Denies Being Liable For Alleged Injuries

In her suit, Flickinger claimed she on February 5, 2023, the actor was operating a motor vehicle on San Vicente Blvd. in Hollywood.

“The defendants negligence caused the defendants’ vehicle to strike [Flickinger], causing severe injuries to [Flickinger],” the suit read. Flickinger accused the actor of having “negligently managed, maintained, repaired, drove, and/or operated their vehicle as to proximately cause the collision and permanent injuries to [Flickinger].”

In his newly filed response, Schwarzenegger argued that, “[Flickinger] was so careless and negligent about the matters alleged in the Complaint so as to have contributed in some degree to the injuries, damages and/or losses alleged by [Flickinger] and therefore said carelessness and negligence completely bars or eliminates any recovery by [Flickinger].”

In addition, he said any alleged injuries she suffered were caused by third parties outside of his control.

He asked the court, “that in the event they are found liable to [Flickinger], said liability should be reduced by the percentage of fault attributable to [Flickinger], and all other parties, persons, firms, corporations, and entities; and that said liability for non-economic damages of these Defendants is several only, and not joint, so that these Defendants shall be responsible only for the amount of non-economic damages.”
