“Succession” star Alan Ruck walks Golden Globes red carpet with cane after car accident

The actor allegedly damaged three vehicles before plowing his own into a Los Angeles pizza restaurant on Halloween.

Succession star Alan Ruck was sporting a cane at the 2024 Golden Globes.

The actor — who was nominated Sunday for Best Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Television Series — walked the red carpet with a cane more than two months after getting into a car accident in Los Angeles on Halloween, which allegedly damaged three vehicles before his own plowed into a pizza restaurant.

Ruck has since been sued by a fellow driver, plaintiff Horacio Vela, who says he suffered "severe injuries and damages." In a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and reviewed by EW, Vela alleges that the actor "abruptly and forcefully accelerated his vehicle," a Rivian R1T electric truck, while stopped at a red light at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue.

Per the complaint, Ruck's truck allegedly then hit the bumper of Vela's Hyundai Elantra, forcing the car into another vehicle in the intersection, while the truck went on to hit yet another vehicle before smashing into a nearby pizza restaurant. Vela says his car is a "total loss" and was accordingly towed, while he was taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center via ambulance with "severe injuries."

Ruck's representatives have declined to comment on the situation, but Vela's attorney, Neama Rahmani, said in a statement to EW, "Accidents happen. That's what insurance is for. But Alan Ruck's insurance company, State Farm, has refused to accept responsibility for the crash. Even worse, Ruck's State Farm adjuster has ghosted us for weeks despite repeated calls and letters seeking to work out an amicable settlement."

Rahmani added, "In this case, multiple people were hit, and a business was damaged. We believe Ruck is responsible for the damages, but because Ruck chose to get insurance through State Farm and State Farm isn't taking care of their insured, we had to file a lawsuit to subpoena evidence and witnesses to prove our case. If State Farm finally accepts fault, we are happy to negotiate a settlement with them." A State Farm rep told EW that it was "premature to comment" on the lawsuit.
