Although no lawsuit has been filed yet against Lohan, the trio are making claims that their "vehicle was taken without their permission and they were unable to remove themselves while traveling, [and they were] endangered in that way," making it "false imprisonment." They are also claiming, amongst other things, emotional distress and negligence.

The trio's lawyer added that his clients "want Miss Lohan to get the kind of help that her attorney says she wants," and that if she sought professional help for her problem, "That would be an important point of consideration in being pleased at how the matter is being handled."
