Paramedics and L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies quickly responded to the scene … and Ali cooperated with law enforcement. She was not arrested.
In court docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, the man — Robert Ise — says he suffered a left orbital blowout fracture, a concussion and lacerations and contusions across his body.
Ise claims he still suffers from pain and emotional distress due to Ali’s negligence … and now he wants her to pay for all past and future medical expenses.
Ali released a statement after the accident … saying she was praying for the man’s recovery.
We’ve reached out to Ali’s rep for comment … so far, no word back.
