While the 25 – year old Lindsay Lohan was still currently completing a community service sentence as a part of her sentence for breaking the provision related to her DUI case in2007, however the young actress was yet again involved in a car accident this year.
Another year had begun but for Lohan, it would be probably be the same after getting involved in a car mishap and being sued in court.
A paparazzi photographer would now be suing the troubled actress after he was ran over by Lohan’s car while he was taking photos of the actress after she was seen leaving a Hollywood club in Los Angeles a couple of years ago.
Allegedly, though the car was driven by Lohan’s assistant, Lohan was the one directing the car towards Grigor Balyan.
In his personal injury lawsuit, Balyan is claiming that the said car accident left him with orthopedic and neurological injuries. His lawsuit is claiming for a reasonable compensation.
According to Balyan’s Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, Balyan first attempted to make a settlement with Lohan’s car accident insurance company but it only made an inconsiderable offer.
Hearing Lohan getting involved in a car accident is no longer new. Last year the star was riding shot gun when another car crashed into a Hollywood Hotel wall and in 2007, the actress spent months battling in court with charges of driving under the influence.
Over the recent years, Lohan had been troubled by various charges stemming from DUI and other car accident claims. Los Angeles injury Attorneys would have no power preventing their clients from reckless individuals.

After Amber Portwood’s car crash incident, another “Teen Mom” star got involved in a car accident leaving a deer dead on the spot. This time, the actress involved is the “Teen Moms 2” star, Leah Messer.
Messer was able to tweet about the accident, saying that she was upset more than shocked due to the incident. Furthermore, she claimed that the deer ran into her car and was unable to hit the brake on time.
Reports said that the incident occurred few days after Messer and her boyfriend, Jeremy Calvert, publicly announced their engagement. Additionally, Messer was reportedly pregnant when the accident that killed a deer happened.
Car accidents involving animals like deer could be serious and fatal at times, particularly during icy conditions. Every time autumn approaches, the highway agency keeps on reminding drivers to be more vigilant in watching out for deer coming across the roads specifically during sunrise and sunset. Fortunately, the “Teen Mom” star as well as her unborn baby wasn’t hurt.
According to the statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 1.5 million car accidents involving animals are reported each year. Such car accidents result in $1 billion damage to property, and more than 10,000 personal injuries – this was also confirmed by Los Angeles car accident attorneys.
The Rocky IV actress and Sylvester Stallone’s former wife, Brigitte Nielsen sustained minor personal injuries after being involved in a multiple car accident in Los Angeles which is allegedly caused by a drunk driver.
According to Nielsen’s spokesperson, the accident happened in Hollywood Hills. While she was riding on a 2006 Porsche Cayenne, a Toyota Matrix allegedly slammed at the back of the Porsche causing it to bump on the car in front.
Nielsen’s spokesperson further stated that the crash impact caused her vehicle’s airbag to deploy and as a result, she was unable to create even a single move. Therefore, she was immediately transported to the nearby hospital where she was given proper medical treatment for the minor personal injuries she sustained. She was released from the hospital not long after. However, she was advised by the doctor to take a home rest for the big bump on her forehead.
It was confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) spokesperson that the driver of the Toyota Matrix was drunk driving with an 11–year old boy in the car.
Driving under the influence (DUI) is one of the most common criminal charges in Los Angeles and its penalties could be serious which ranges from monetary fine to imprisonment. Obviously, the Toyota Matrix driver could now be held liable for the personal injury charges that Nielsen may file against him after the LAPD confirmed that the driver was drunk when the accident occurred.
Nielsen, 48, was born in Denmark. She was a model turned actress and became famous in her acting career in 1985 for the films “Red Sonja” and “Rocky IV”. On the same year, she married her Rocky IV co-star Sylvester Stallone but few years after, they got divorced. Ever since, she never had an empty career. Definitely, she is now very grateful that she is given another chance to pursue her bright acting career after the accident.

The Mankato CBS – Annie Stensrud, a Fox affiliate reporter, gained fame on YouTube for her “drunken broadcast” earlier this month. Recently, though, she got involved in yet another alcohol-related incident; this time, a car accident.
An anonymous person called the North Mankato Police Department Wednesday morning last week and reported an intoxicated person leaving a Roe Crest Drive residence in a vehicle. The person later on described the vehicle to the authorities.
Police officers immediately responded to the area and stopped the said car as described by the anonymous person. The County Sheriff Deputy recognized that the car’s driver they were hunting down was that of the news anchor, Annie Stensrud. She was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence where she was taken custody at the Nicolette County Jail. She refused to take a breath test and was instead given a urinalysis test, which resulted into a .23 BAC (blood-alcohol concentration). However, hours later, Stensrud was released from the county jail.
In her statement, Stensrud said that she was not drunk but rather ill. She stated that her body was having a bad reaction to her medication for her illness. Since it is a personal matter, the station did not give any further comment on the incidents.
Stensrud was really steadfast on stating that she did not commit any traffic violation that’s why she was not eligible for any DUI charges.
Stensrud was famous for her “drunken broadcast” that trended on YouTube where she mumbled and stumbled while covering the news. She even slurred her way through some stories until the KEYC Mankato network cut her news broadcast off immediately. However, neither she nor the network ever formally confirmed whether the news anchor was drunk or not, but everyone speculated that she was indeed drunk because of her blurry eyes and mixed-up words.

“Teen Mom” star Amber Portwood is in great trouble yet again and more likely to spend holidays in jail after a vehicle accident.
In a news reports, Amber was caught in a vehicle accident at Anderson, Indiana last December 16. She struck into a 2003 Saturn as the other driver was pulling into his driveway.
Apparently, Amber was tailgating and her mind was off the road. Under the federal law, drivers must stay behind in a safe distance. Reports state that she was unaware of that law that a driver must keep distance from the vehicle ahead.
Amber’s defense to the apprehending police officers was that the other driver slammed on his brakes and made a swift turn.
Police report said that Amber was at fault. She admitted that she was driving while under medications when the accident happened. However, she refused to submit a drug test.
Last year, Portwood spent the holidays on jail for domestic battery charges and this year, she will be celebrating the holidays once more in jail without bond until the hearing next year.
Amber has been in rough circumstances over the past months. She was convicted in June for assaulting her ex – fiancé Gary Shirley to whom she has a 3 – year old daughter, Leah.
In November, she was accused of battery, failing other terms of her probation and public intoxication in connection with her previous brawl.
The worst part is that she just officially lost custody of her daughter – Leah after the Indiana’s Child Protection Services had closed its investigation about whether or not Amber was a fit mother.
Portwood’s Vehicle accident was her latest offense from a series of violations.This serves as a wake-up call for her and to the authorities that she is slowly being a threat to herself as well as to the society.
After getting involved in a minor car accident last year, here she goes again. Vanessa Hudgens was once again involved in car accident this year.
Hudgens’ first accident occurred last September, 2010 at a CVS Parking lot in Studio City, California. As she was backing out in her black Audi, she slammed into an approaching vehicle which resulted into a fender bender and a large dent to the other driver’s side door. Hudgens’ car sustained minor scratches at the back bumper. Fortunately, she was not injured.
Now, for the second time, Hudgens was driving her brand new Audi when she got involved again in a car crash.
According to reports, Hudgens’ brand new car was spotted into a parking lot of a Halloween store in Los Angeles.
Witnesses have seen the damages at the back portion of the celebrity’s vehicle. Though his expensive car has been damaged, Hudgens still managed to put a smile on her face as if nothing happened and walked away from the accident scene.
Though, no information about star’s recent car accident has leaked, it’s very obvious in the appearance of her car that it has gone through another minor accident since the damage was not serious but just simple scratches and minor dents.
Well, the show must go on. Hudgens is now filming her upcoming movie, the “Frozen Ground”, a true story of a rape victim who escaped from her abductor and then helped the authorities to capture the criminal.
It’s been two consecutive years that Hudgens got involved in car accidents. She should take more precautions now. Who knows, maybe the next time she will get involved in a car crash, it will be more serious than the first two. Hopefully, it will be the last.

Dwight Eubanks – this featured designer of Real Housewives of Atlanta got into a deep humiliation after he drove his Mercedes Benz into a mud of wet cement.
Charlie Sheen – two cars of the former Two and a Half Men star got involved in car accidents. Allegedly, his both cars were stolen and left hanging on a cliff. His car insurance company definitely got upset about it.

After series of hospitalizations, Hollywood icon Zsa – Zsa Gabor was again rushed to a medical center in Los Angeles last week.
It was the latest in a series of her hospitalizations. According to the actress’ spokesperson, a feeding tube came out of Gabor’s stomach causing her to bleed. Therefore her husband, Von Anhalt immediately called an ambulance and rushed her to UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center. Gabor was last hospitalized only a month for same illness.
Since Gabor’s 2002 car accident, she became partially paralyzed and uses a wheelchair. And due to her physical disorder, on 2010, Gabor again suffered from another accident. She fell on the floor while she was reaching for the telephone ringing. Since then, she has been repeatedly hospitalized. She has since got through a hip operation and has suffered some complications.
Gabor was also brought to the hospital when her friend, Elizabeth Taylor died because she was inconsolable according to her husband.
Last January 2011, one of Gabor’s legs was removed after her physician found an infection which can no longer be intercepted by antibiotics. During one of Gabor’s hospital’s stay last August, she had a priest read her final rites.
According to reports, Gabor was born as Sari Gabor in the capital city of Hungary, in Budapest on February 6, 1917. She married Von Anhalt but she was first married to Conrad Hilton, the great grandfather of the socialite, Paris Hilton from 1942 to 1947.

Following her Hollywood actress sister, Gabor entered the show business. She started starring in movies herself on 1952 with the films “Lovely to Look At”, We’re Not Married” and “Moulin Rouge”. On 1996, she also had a cameo.
Imagine how her completely happy life was ruined by one car accident resulting to serious personal injuries which made her suffered from too much pain and difficulties in her latter life. The best consolation she might ever had is that despite of what happened to her, she was still happy and contented having her loving husband beside her through her ups and downs.
