I read that she injured herself badly while making the 'Hardwired' episode, for "Law & Order SVU".
I'm watching the episode right now, and she is obviously fine until the end of the episode.
Anyone know what happened there?

"Didn't he discover America?"

Actress Rosie Perez has settled her personal injury lawsuit against the producers of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, her lawyer confirmed Wednesday.
Perez claimed she suffered serious neck and back injuries and nerve damage in 2009 when she was violently shaken by an extra during a stunt for an episode entitled Hardwired.
She underwent two surgeries and was unable to work, according to papers filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.
The suit, in which Perez had sought an amount th5b4at exceeds the sum of $75,000, was resolved this week under confidential terms, according to court filings and the actress lawyer, Brian ODwyer.
I hope this answers your question. I agree with you, I saw the episode when it was new and didn't notice anything, and once I heard about the suit I watched it again, and she still seemed fine to me. Since she injures so easily I assume we won't be seeing her in too many new things, as a producer I would fear another suit, so I assume this is the end of her career. -

More details, if you are curious:
According to legal documents filed in Brooklyn, Perez claims she was hurt while shooting a scene in which she fights with another woman through the front window of a car.
Over the course of multiple takes, several di2000scs in Perezs neck became herniated.
She later required a discectomy and the fusion of vertebrae. Lopez says she continues to suffer severe pain, impeding her career.
