Actress Debra Messing is at the center of a $25,000 lawsuit over a car accident.

The Will & Grace star has been named as a defendant in a personal injury lawsuit filed earlier this month, according to TMZ.com.

The suit alleges another person was driving Messing's car in 2007 when the vehicle collided with a California Highway Patrolman on his motorcycle.

As the owner of the car, Messing has been named in the suit, with the plaintiff seeking damages in excess of $25,000.
