Keanu Reeves Beat Paparazzo Claim

In 2007, actor Keanu Reeves was sued by a man named Alison Silva, a paparazzo who alleged that Reeves struck him with a Porsche while Silva photographed him in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Reeves denied hitting Silva and testified that the photographer tripped over his own feet as the actor slowly pulled out of a parking space. Silva sought $711,974 for a wrist injury that he claimed prevented him from handling large cameras. The lawsuit took 18 months to reach trial, but in 2008 a Los Angeles County jury deliberated for just over an hour before clearing Reeves of all liability.
