Busboy Settles with Lohan over Robertson Wreck

Posted Feb 22nd 2008 3:55PM by TMZ Staff

Lindsay Lohan has settled a lawsuit filed by a busboy who claimed she was drunk when she hit him with her car in October of 2005.

Raymundo Ortega filed the suit last June, even though the cops said he was to blame for the wreck on Robertson Blvd. Ortega, alleging that a then 19-year-old Lilo was pounding drinks at the Ivy before hopping in her Mercedes-Benz and driving off, had sued for at least $200,000 in damages.

Ortega also sued the Ivy, claiming they were responsible because they had served her drinks. That case was dropped last month.

The terms of Lohan's settlement are confidential.

This strikes me as totally wrong - the police say that he's to blame but he sues her and then there is a settlement???
Was she breathalised at the scene? Can he prove that that table tab included her drinks? Its all a big of a "I've hit a celebrity lets see how much of a pay-out I can get".

Isn't he the one that did an illegal U-turn in front of her?

I think it'd be pure irony if Lindsay was out walking or driving, and a drunk driver nailed her and injured her. I wouldn't wish it upon anybody, but maybe it'd teach her drunken ass a lesson.
