Lindsay Lohan has another court date.
A judge Tuesday refused to dismiss portions of a lawsuit against the 21-year-old actress over an October 2005 accident in which her Mercedes-Benz collided with a van.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael 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 seeking at least $200,000 in damages.
Ortega was knocked out in the crash, said his attorney, Robert Klein.
Lohan and a female passenger sustained minor injuries.
Ortega's suit contends that Lohan was fleeing paparazzi and was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.
"This case is about responsibility and she's not taking responsibility," Klein said outside court.
Lohan's attorney, David Ozeran, said outside court that there was no evidence that Lohan was intoxicated. (source LSJ.com)
