Eva Longoria Parker and her husband Tony Parker have been sued following a car crash last week.

The 'Desperate Housewives' actress and her basketball-player spouse had the legal claim made against them in the Los Angeles Superior Court today, with driver Roman Gasparyan suing for negligence.

He claims to have suffered mentally and physically following the accident on Los Angeles' Hollywood Boulevard last Wednesday, and is demanding unspecified damages after claiming the brunette beauty - who was driving - was entirely at fault.

According to gossip website TMZ, legal documents state Roman claims he was waiting in the middle of the road attempting to turn left, when Eva "made a sudden lane change into the median lane" and crashed into his vehicle.

The pair were both driving BMW X5 sports utility vehicles.

Tony was not involved in the accident, but is the owner of their vehicle and Eva has denied any fault in the accident.

Her spokesperson said: "According to the police report, the other driver was clearly at fault and admitted the fault at the scene of the accident.

"There is absolutely no truth to this claim, and any indications to the contrary are completely false and untrue. Longoria made no sudden turn, did not violate any traffic violations nor did she make any sudden lane changes. The other driver is clearly trying to make a case where there is none. All charges are frivolous, without merit, and will not hold up in a court of law."

Nobody was taken to hospital after the crash, but the incident has been under investigation by traffic officers.

Roman's lawyer Sanjay Sobti has claimed his client suffered back and neck pain, severe headaches, anxiety and blood pressure complications following the accident.
