LiLo prepared to counter-sue man who claims he was hit by her car

London, Mar 20 (ANI): Lindsay Lohan was forced to defend herself after a man alleged she hit him with her car in Hollywood.

And now the star is said to be prepared to take legal action against the man, should he file a civil lawsuit against her.

According to Radar Online, the 25-year-old actress 'will counter-sue and hold him responsible for the allegations he has made.'

The 25-year-old actress was leaving Sayers Club in Hollywood in the early hours of Thursday morning in her black Porsche when she was blocked by a group of paparazzi and club-goers from the nearby Hookah Lounge.

It was reported that the actress attempted to do a three-point turn in an alleyway, where she is alleged to have 'grazed' the manager of the Hookah Lounge.

However, according to a source the man had initially told police at the scene that he was not hit by the car.

The website alleges that after finding out that the 'Mean Girls' star was the driver, 'the reported victim went to a hospital emergency room, hired a lawyer and changed his story.'

"Lindsay won't be taken advantage of by this opportunist, which he clearly is. Lindsay has told her attorney, Shawn Holley, to convey to the Hookah manger's lawyer that if he files a lawsuit against her Lindsay will come back at him with everything she has," the Daily Mail quoted a source as telling Radar Online.

"Lindsay will immediately file a counter-suit against him, for libel, defamation and other claims.

"Lindsay is in the midst of a comeback right now and she won't let this guy try and make a quick buck off of her. If he is smart he should recognise that he has no facts to support his allegations and take this no further," the source said.

A law enforcement source also claimed that the alleged victim has 'changed his story significantly.'

"Officers on the scene specifically asked the man if the car had hit him and he was absolutely emphatic that it hadn't, nor had he claimed it hit his car," the insider said.

"Several hours later, the man's newly hired lawyer called the Hollywood division of the LAPD and said that his client wanted to provide a statement because he was the victim of a hit and run accident.

"The manager claimed that he was in shock after the accident and that his foot began hurting and went to the hospital. He now says there is no doubt that Lindsay drove over his foot and fled the scene," the source added.

Following the incident, the troubled actress took to her Twitter account, where she vehemently denied hitting the man. (ANI)
