The passenger involved in Lindsay Lohan’s DUI car chase last July announced plans to sue the starlet for medical expenses and damages. Tracie Rice, who filed lawsuit documents in an LA court today, was a passenger in a car driven by Michele Peck, the mother of Lindsay’s recently resigned assistant.

Rice is seeking damages amid claims that because of the pre-dawn incident she has had to shell out $7,000 in medical expenses, including those to a $175-per-visit therapist. She also says she lost her $60,000-per-year job.

In her papers, Rice says that $3,500 has been spent with the therapist in dealing with her residual terror. She also saw a physician, a chiropractor and a pharmacist, and paid roughly $150 for prescriptions. An additional $2,000 was said to be paid in miscellaneous expenses.

Rice states she thought she was being carjacked when an SUV, driven by Lohan, pursued her and Peck at high speed, putting the two of them “at extreme risk of death or injury,” until they made it to the Santa Monica police station and were greeted by officers with guns drawn.

Rice alleged she suffered emotional distress as a result of the chase, and seeks unspecified damages and payment of medical and other expenses.
