The complaint, which ET has obtained, also argues that Jenner is "entitled to be indemnified or partially indemnified [by Steindorff] for any and all" damages she has to pay.

Steindorff, who drove the Prius that was involved in the crash, was stopped at a traffic light on the Pacific Coast Highway. Sixty nine-year-old Kim Howe, who was driving a Lexus sedan, was stopped behind Steindorff. Jenner rear-ended the Lexus, which careened into oncoming traffic and was struck by a Hummer. Howe died from her injuries at the scene of the crash.

At the time of the incident, Steindorff, 30, was reportedly driving with a suspended license. The Los Angeles County Sheriffs' investigation into the collision found that her driving did not result in or lead to the crash.

However in the complaint, Jenner's lawyers allege that Steindorff was inattentive and did not proceed when the traffic light turned green.
