Attorney: Lohan settles lawsuit with busboy stemming from 2005 car crashSunday, February 24, 2008
"It's been resolved," said Robert G. Klein, the attorney for busboy Raymundo Ortega, who settled for an undisclosed amount Wednesday. Lohan's Mercedes-Benz collided with Ortega's van as he was making a turn in October 2005. Though the California Highway Patrol concluded that Ortega caused the crash by making an illegal U-turn, he sued Lohan seeking at least $200,000 in damages. Ortega's lawsuit contended Lohan was fleeing paparazzi at the time and was under the influence of alcohol. A message left Friday with Lohan's attorney, David J. Ozeran, was not immediately returned. Lohan publicist Leslie Sloane-Zelnik did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment. Comments  Note: The nature of the Internet makes it impractical for our staff to review every comment.
