Paris Hilton’s brother ordered to pay $4.9m to drink drive victim
It’s a good thing Paris Hilton’s brother Barron Hilton comes from a family who aren’t short of a bob or two – the hotel heir has lost a civil lawsuit filed against him and must pay out $4.9 million.
Barron must pay damages to a petrol station attendant that he allgedly struck with his car back in 2008. Barron has been ordered by a jury to pay $3million for pain and suffering, $1.9 million for expenses and punative damages, £225,000 in punative damages and $71,000 in interest.
Barron, now 21, allegedly struck Fernando Tellez with his Mercedes Benz at a Pacific Coast highway petrol station and was later arrested on suspicion of a DUI. He was given three years probation.
"This wild night of reckless partying resulted in Mr. Tellez's permanent disability, required him to undergo multiple surgeries and medical procedures and destroyed his family and his ability to provide for his family," the victim's legal representative told the Los Angeles Times.
