A lawyer for the extras claims the side panel on the truck had not been properly secured when it flew open.
"A new letter has been sent to Tom Cruise, (business partner) Paula Wagner and United Artists, in which we set out the facts of the case again and put a figure on the legal demands of our clients ... of $11 million," lawyer Ariane Bluttner told Reuters.
