Zac Efron's Checkered Past!

In case you didn't notice, Zac Efron's movie, "17 Again" is out on DVD. And he's being sued for allegedly ramming a cab.

According to a lawsuit filed in Beverly Hills Small Claims Court, Zac is being sued by Katie Porter, who claims she was rear ended by a Checker Cab, that pushed into her car after being struck by Efron's vehicle.

We're told Katie did not recognize Zac at the time, but that he was very polite after the accident.

As for why Katie hasn't gotten paid -- her mom tells us the insurance companies for Zac and the cab company have been bickering ... each claiming the other is responsible for the repair costs.

The accident occurred in June, 2006. Porter claims she's out $3,319.76 and here's how its broken down -- $1,200 for repair costs and $400 for a rental car. As for the remaining damages, Katie's dad is also a plaintiff and lives in Oklahoma. He's suing for plane and motel costs for making the trek to small claims court.

No comment so far from Zac's camp.

And note to Katie's dad -- don't make the trip. You can't get travel money (http://www.fanforum.com/f251/zac-news-thread-58-because-august-11th-we-all-get-bring-home-another-piece-zac-62909245/index7.html#) even if you're legally in the right. You're welcome.

this happened in 2006? okay then...three years of bickering, really??

[Efronstruck]

Why would they wait 3 years to take action?

This seems like another rumor.
Plus, I'm sure a picture would be taken if this happened.
Paparazzi stalk him while he's driving around. If something as big
as this happened, it's more likely a paparazzi would take a picture of whatever happened.

So true sounds like someone just trying to get Zac's money.

[Wisewisker]

I agree, honestly why haven't we heard about this for 3 years?
The paparazzi is on him all the time, so yes Matt is right we should've seen pics, since in 2006 he was bigger than ever.

sounds like to me just she wants Zac to pay now. Because He is being Big.

[betweenthelines.]

aww I hope this isn't true :/

[Charlie St Cloud]

Me too. but this sounds like a spammer who is just trying to get money out of Zac.

[K3ZG]

i don't think it's true,
but that's stupid waiting three years if it is.
She's prolly just waiting for the money.

[VICTORIA.]

ahahahah, three years?!!
nice try byatcch.

[efronator.]

i honestly don't think it's true; there would have been pics, and even if it is true,
psh...this is a stupid reason to sue somebody.

[LiVeInLoVe]

like every famous person in the world is sued for something, so if this is all zac can be sued for, hes like an angel. haha

[that.DARN.taylor]

aha! sounds stupid if you ask me.
this Katie girl waited for THREE years to even try to get her money?!?
WOW...
(it might not even be true for all we know.)

[Rachel*]

i doubt it,but we'll see

[cblodg]

The father's travel expenses would easly be thrown out as they are tertiary to the daughter's suit.

As for the girl's claim, this incident occured in June of 2006. The court will want to know why the claiment didn't file suit earlier. Also, this being a small claim court case, if true, will more than likely be settled out of court. It would seem that her case does not lie with Zac, but more with his insurance company as they are the payers in this case. The insurance companies are trying to figure which one is responsible.

Not to mention, the $400 for the rental should be covered by the insurance company. She probably had to pay out of pocket for the rental, but those are covered... if the plan has it (I know mine does)

Either way, this is a very minor blip on the radar.

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

I haven't even heard about this till now.

KATIE WHY DNT YOU GET OVER THAT CAR INCIDENT JEEZ ITS JUST A CAR ITS WASNT LIKE YOUR LIFE JEEZ.
so dnt try and spam Zac now because he is huge.

[mandyjane]

[rumplestiltskin]

First Vanessa, now Zac

And Both of the reasons are from years ago...

[Ra2na.]

lmao.

[betterintime.]

bahaha. wtf.

[BritGirl]

She is wasting everyones time if there is no truth in this story as she has to prove the accident happened!
It's a shame what this sue for anything culture has led us to.
Unfortunately it happens in the UK now.

[Ritta]

.....
*shakes head slowly*

[.jess.]

I just like it when she said "she did not recognize Zac at the time," but she does now he is big and has lots of money. Let's sue him , for something in 2006, 3 years later, when now he is worth millions.

[zac09]

I don't thin much will come of this, it happened 3 years ago and am sure it was an accident.
