Hilton Cousin Settles Crash Lawsuit; Paris Sings
The legal spotlight never seems to leave Paris Hilton, but this time there will be no jail time. Paris’ cousin, Brooke Brinson, settled a three year old lawsuit in which Brinson and Paris were taken to court by crash victims Ivan Alvarez and Monica Delgado.
The case: Brinson reportedly caused a four lane car crash on an LA freeway while driving the socialite’s car. Alvarez and Delgado were involved in the crash with their child, claiming damages resulting from the accident.
Alvarez and Delgado were initially trying to claim damages in excess of $250,000 in pain and suffering, however a judge sent their case to a lower claims court after ruling that they were not entitled to more than $25,000.
This settlement agreement will cancel the trial that was supposed to start at the beginning of September. However, Brinson is not out of the woods in regards to the legal system - as she has an underage DUI dating from 2006 when she was pulled over with a 0.15 percent blood alcohol level, and is due back in court on August 3rd.
Paris, in contrast, continues to enjoy her new pad on Malibu Beach, and even made her way back to the recording studio today.
Enjoy the pictures from Paris’ party on Sunday (July 15), with the heiress enjoying the company of Perez Hilton and her puppy.
