Britney Spears leaving Target after enjoying a day of shopping. Los Angeles, California - 29.09.09

In legal documents, paparazzo Ricardo Mendoza claimed his foot has been damaged for life, and his injuries had cost him $195,000 (£130,000) in general damages.

He asked the Toxic hitmaker to hand over more than $220,000 (£146,700) after accusing her of intentionally running him over.

Mendoza argued that Spears' minders "should have known... Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner."

The terms of the settlement have not been revealed.
