Settlement Reached Between Waiter And Actress
Posted: Friday, March 7th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
A waiter who was seeking damages from tearaway Hollywood star Lyndsay Lohan has settled for an undisclosed sum. The waiter was suing the actress for one hundred and five thousand dollars after a car crash where the actress allegedly hit his car in her Mercedes Benz.
A lawyer for the waiter, Raymundo Ortega, confirmed that the matter had been resolved and that his client had settled for an undisclosed sum. According to reports the actress’s publicist and her lawyer did not respond to requests for comments on the case.
The accident occurred in 2005, when Lohan’s Mercedes hit the waiter’s van while he was making a turn. Mr Ortega decided to sue the actress claiming that she was intoxicated, despite the fact that the California Highway Patrol said that the accident was his fault because he was making an illegal u-turn.
A lawyer for the actress had previously stated that there was no indication that Lohan was intoxicated at the time of the accident. The report suggests that she was fleeing paparazzi at the time.
