The 21-year-old actress was sued by Raymundo Ortega for negligence over the accident, in which Lahan's Mercedes-Benz hit a van and injured him.

The busboy Ortega sought at least 200,000 U.S. dollars in damages from Lohan and the restaurant, The Ivy, where the underaged actress was served alcohol before the crash.

But in a Dec. 15 declaration, Lohan insisted, "I did not consume an alcoholic beverage or any type of medication or drug" either before or during her restaurant visit.

Also, the restaurant's waiter Adam Novicki, who served the "Mean Girls" star, said that she did not order alcohol.

Alonzo Howell, a Los Angeles police officer who was providing security for The Ivy that day, also said he didn't see Lohan drinking.

Lohan counter-sued Ortega in October, alleging Ortega was at fault in the crash for making an illegal U-turn in front of Lohan's car.

A hearing on the motion by the Ivy's lawyers to have the restaurant dismissed as a defendant is scheduled for March 21.

Lohan served 84 minutes in jail last month after pleading guilty to misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges unrelated to the 2005 crash.
