Paris’ car trouble just doesn’t end. She was videotaped backing her SUV into a honda in a parking lot this weekend, and now she’s getting sued for a multi-car pileup in LA. Paris wasn’t driving and wasn’t in the car – her cousin caused the accident with Paris’ car. (If Paris was around, you would have heard of this already.) The suit claims she’s legally responsible, though:
According to the suit, “Traffic began to slow down and all vehicles came to a stop for traffic ahead.” The lawsuit alleges that the defendant’s car failed to stop, causing a chain collision involving four cars. The plaintiffs, Ivan Alvarez, Monica Delgado and their child, Nicholas Alvarez, were two cars in front of the Mercedes.
TMZ spoke with the plaintiffs’ lawyer, Mauro Fiore, Jr., who said his two adult clients suffered “serious injuries.”
Fiore says he filed a claim with Hilton’s insurance company, and was shocked to learn that Hilton had the bare minimum coverage for property damage — $5,000. Hilton’s insurance company refused to disclose her policy limits for personal injury.
Fiore says he wants $250,000 for each plaintiff but the insurance company refuses to pay a dime.
There are two other lawsuits pending against Paris. One is a $10 million defamation case filed by Zeta Graff. Paris falsely claimed that Graff attacked her at a London club in July of last year and arranged to have the story leaked to the tabloids.
Another lawsuit is by party planner Brian Quintana, who Paris called a “dirty Mexican” and reportedly harassed after Quintana is said to have told Paris’ boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos III, to dump her to get back with Mary-Kate Olsen. Quintana said he would drop the suit if Paris would show up at the opening of one of his clubs. We’re not sure if Paris followed through, but it means that she could avoid at least one of the three lawsuits against her, not that the careless party girl cares much.
And Paris may be back with Stavros for the third time, because the two were spotted buying DVDs together. They seem to have picked up Kathy Griffin’s comedy DVD.
Since splittling with Stavros in early May she was linked shortly with NFL quarterback Matt Leinart and with the hot guy who played her love interested in her new music video.
Stavros is said to have begged Paris to take him back, and to have sampled Lindsay Lohan’s spicy wares.
