Linsday Lohan back on trial
Lindsay Lohan’s legal saga goes on and on. In addition to the many lawsuits her family has, the ghosts of the past returned in her life. I’m talking about a legal entanglement that’s pressing her at the moment (while being in rehab), the suit made against her by the other driver in her October 2005 car accident.
A judge refused Tuesday to dismiss portions of a lawsuit against the 21-year-old actress over an October 2005 accident in which her jet black Mercedes-Benz collided with a van making an U turn on the street. Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern rejected a motion that argued the lawsuit lacked legal sufficiency, and set April 7 for the trial.
The California Highway Patrol concluded that Raymundo Ortega, a busboy, caused the accident by making an illegal U-turn, but he sued Lohan and is asking for at least $200,000 in damages. Raymundo Ortega is claiming that the star admitted to have had a couple of drinks before the accident took place. However, LInsday’s lawyers reject this story sustaining that there is no evidence of Linsady being intoxicated with alcohol. Even though the actress provided the story of her being chased by paparazzi when the accident took place, further police investigation had no prove of this being the cause of the crash.
