Justin Bieber Sued Over Hit-and-Run

Justin Bieber is facing yet another legal woe in what seems to be a particularly bad week, after he was accused of leaving a paparazzo seriously injured following a hit-and-run in Los Angeles last year.

The "Beauty and a Beat" singer was allegedly leaving the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood, California last July when he struck paparazzo Walter Lee with his white Ferrari.

Although the Biebs was cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident, Lee has now come forward to sue the star, claiming that Bieber badly injured him in the accident.

According to the lawsuit, Lee was walking on the Sunset Strip just before midnight when he was hit by Bieber's car. The paparazzo claims to have sustained injuries such as lacerations, hematomas, deep abrasions to his left knee and leg, and deep venous thrombosis

According to Lee, he has been dealing with high hospital and medical bills ever since the incident occurred. The lawsuit was filed in order to make Bieber legally responsible for the medical costs.

Reportedly, the young pop star has yet to respond to the allegations or the suit.  

This is the 20-year-old entertainer's second incident involving cars and paparazzi this week. On Tuesday, Bieber ran into some issues when he got into a minor crash after being chased by paparazzi.

The collision happened in front of the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, but the Beverly Hills Police Department was able to confirm that no one was hurt. Reportedly, Biebers wasn't the one behind the wheel and left the scene of the accident shortly after exchanging information with the driver of the other vehicle involved.

The star still faces major legal issues after he was charged with a DUI in Miami, Florida earlier this year. Bieber also allegedly assaulted a limo driver in Toronto, Canada last December.
