Jessica Marie Steindorff, a Hollywood talent manager, filed a
personal injury suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday
accusing Jenner of driving "negligently, carelessly, recklessly
and wantonly" and causing the crash, according to CNN.
Relatives of Kimberly Howe, who was killed in the Feb. 7
collision on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, have filed a
lawsuit against Jenner for negligence and wrongful death.
Several others were injured in the crash, authorities said.
Howe's lawsuit came one week after Jenner declared in a
nationally televised interview that she identifies as a woman,
becoming the most high-profile American to come out as
transgender.
Jenner, 65, rose to fame with a record-breaking Olympic gold
medal victory in the decathlon in the 1976 Summer Games in
Montreal. Known to younger generations as the patriarch of
reality TV's Kardashian clan.
Jenner escaped serious injury in the crash, having declined
medical treatment at the scene, authorities said.
Reuters was unable to reach officials at various branches of the
Los Angeles Superior Court in the early hours of Tuesday.
