Shane West Named In Lawsuit

Shane West has been named in a lawsuit over allegations he crashed into a fellow motorist and left the driver needing knee surgery.
 
In a civil lawsuit filed at a California court on 18 August (10) - two days before the two-year anniversary of the accident - Richard Glenn Grim claims West smashed into the back of his car on Santa Monica Boulevard.
 
It is alleged the crash caused $5,000 (£3,333) worth of damage to Grim's car, and left him needing "two surgeries" on his knee, according to TMZ.com.
 
In papers, Grim's lawyer Frank Ariel says, "We would like to reach a fair settlement with Mr. West's auto insurance company."
 
The law in California states that personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the incident.
