Keanu Reeves Attorneys Seek Mediation  3/26/08

Hollywood star Keanu Reeves' attorneys are stepping up their bid to reach a settlement with the paparazzo who's accusing the actor of knocking him down with his car.

Snapper Alison Silva filed suit against Reeves at Los Angeles Superior Court in November (07), claiming the Speed star pulled out of a parking space in his 1996 Porsche 911 and struck him as he was attempting to snap the actor.

The alleged incident - which occurred in March last year (07) - resulted in Silva requiring on-the-scene medical treatment at the Rancho Palos Verdes, California, parking lot.

As part of his case, Silva is seeking reparations for the property damage, loss of earnings, medical expenses, attorney fees and undisclosed damages.

However, Reeves' lawyer Jeffrey Redd appeared in court on Tuesday (25Mar08), requesting the negligence case be moved to mediation. Redd is hoping to formally move to strike the cameraman's request for sizable punitive damages at a 5 May (08) hearing.
