Gwyneth's Rear-End Trouble
First it was Alicia Silverstone's alleged street havoc, then Halle Berry's well-documented run-in. Now, two people are suing Gwyneth Paltrow, claiming they suffered permanent injuries when she rear-ended them on a West Hollywood street last year.
In a suit filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Veronica Cabello and Jorge Arauz claim the 27-year-old actress ran into them on April 24, 1999, at the intersection of Beverly and La Cienega boulevards. They claim Paltrow's rented Mercedes collided with their Nissan Sentra, causing it to slam into another car in front of it, and leaving them with "permanent and serious" back and neck injuries.
"They were waiting for the light, and they got hit from the rear," says their lawyer, James Earle. But, he adds, the actress was very nice about the whole thing. "[Paltrow] got out of the car, apologized and wanted to make sure they were okay, and traded information with them."
The incident allegedly occurred just one month after the waify blonde took home an Oscar for Best Actress in Shakespeare in Love.
Of course, she's not alone in her traffic woes--Clueless star Silverstone was sued in 1997 for an alleged pedestrian run-in that happened nearby. And Halle Berry has been implicated in two fender benders in the same vicinity of West Hollywood, the most recent in a rental car.
Earle is seeking "pain and suffering" damages from Paltrow and Midway Rent-a-Car, which he says rented her the 1998 Mercedes SL500.
Tony Molino, attorney for Midway (and, because the rental contract, Paltrow), says they had been negotiating a possible settlement, but couldn't agree on one.
"We've made a more than fair settlement offer, and they've rejected it," Molino says. "[Earle] thinks his case is worth a lot more just because of who was driving the car."
Earle says Cabello and Arauz sustained about $4,100 in damage to their Sentra, not to mention $8,000 in medical expenses from back and neck injuries.
