She is being sued by Raymundo Ortega for crashing her Mercedes-Benz into his red van in Hollywood, after allegedly drinking at celebrity hotspot The Ivy.

Lohan's attorneys have been attempting to have plans for Lohan to give evidence on videotape stopped because of fears the footage could later be sold for a large amount of cash to the tabloids.

They claimed: "If a single picture of Ms. Lohan can sell for thousands of dollars, a videotape of the deposition will undoubtedly sell for tens of thousands of dollars, or more."

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Stern dismissed their argument and ruled Lohan must give video evidence.

Lohan has filed her own counter-suit against Ortega, alleging he and a number of unspecified defendants caused the accident. A trial date has been set for both cases next year.
