Hogans
Sued Over Son's Car Crash
3/25/08
Wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan and his family are facing legal action
from the family of John Graziano, who was left seriously injured after a
2007 car crash.
Graziano's parents are suing Hogan and his estranged wife for failing
to prevent the car crash. The wrestler's son, Nick Bollea, was driving his
father's car at the time of the accident.
Bollea, 17, had his driving license suspended for a year in November
(07) after Florida officials deemed him a dangerous driver, following an
August (07) accident that left his friend Graziano needing nursing care
for the rest of his life.
Bollea has also been charged with reckless driving involving serious
bodily injury and will be tried as an adult when his case reaches court
next month (14Apr08).
But his legal troubles don't end there - now the Graziano family has
filed suit against Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, his estranged wife Linda
and Nick, charging them with negligence.
According to court papers, filed on Monday (24Mar08) in Pinellas
County, Florida, the Grazianos accuse the Bollea family of being directly
liable for the accident.
