Photographer Suing Lindsay Lohan

Actress Lindsay Lohan is being sued by a photographer for allegedly injuring him with her mother's car.

The 20-year-old was "negligent, careless and reckless" while driving a BMW on 13 March in New York, according to legal papers filed in the city by snapper Giovanni Arnold on Thursday (10May07).

Arnold claims he "sustained severe and permanent personal injuries" in the incident and was financially disadvantaged as a result.

The suit also names Lohan's mother Dina, but doesn't specify the amount in damages being sought.

No accident report was filed at the time of the alleged incident, although police were on the scene at the time.

During an interview with US chat show host David Letterman on Wednesday (09May07), Lohan was asked if she had run over a photographer's foot.

She replied jokingly, "No, but I should. The guy completely faked it."
