Lindsay Lohan’s Alleged Victim: Pay Up!

The woman who claims she was in the car that Lindsay Lohan allegedly chased right before she was arrested for DUI in July 2007, is suing the actress for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Tracie Rice, who was a passenger in the car driven by the mother of Lohan’s former assistant, which Lohan reportedly chased, insists that she lost a well-paying job and suffered a load of emotional trauma due to the accident.

The legal papers filed in Los Angeles Superior County Court last month and released only this week, provide details regarding the trauma Rice claims she suffered and its effects.

According to E!Online, the lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages and also the restitution of all medical fees and other expenses that sprang up as a result of Rice’s distress. Per her court documents, Rice estimates she has spent upwards of $7,000 on doctor bills since August, including $400 on a medical doctor, $145 on a chiropractor, $150 on medicine and two grand in miscellaneous expenses, while her therapy since August cost her $3,500. Additionally, Rice says she lost her job, which paid between $60,000 and $75,000 per year, following the incident.

In the documents, Rice said she believed she was being carjacked when the SUV driven by Lohan chased them “at a high rate of speed,” exposing her and the driver, Michele Peck, “at extreme risk of death or injury.”

Although the 21-year-old actress managed to clean up her act and strike a deal in the criminal case last year and in November she served just 84 minutes of a one-day sentence behind bars, she still has plenty of legal problems to deal with.

In a separate lawsuit, the actress is being sued by a busboy whose car she smashed into in 2005. The case against Crossheart Productions, the “Mean Girls” star's production company, has been dropped from the suit, but damages are still being sought from Lohan.
