Celebrity wrestler Hulk Hogan is being sued by attorneys for the man who was critically injured in a crash involving Hogan's son.
John Graziano's attorneys filed suit Monday in Clearwater against Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea.
The suit says he and his estranged wife, Linda, are liable as the parents of 17-year-old Nick Bollea.
Graziano was a passenger in Nick Bollea's 1998 Toyota Supra when Bollea lost control and crashed into a tree on a downtown Clearwater Street August 26th.
Lawyers say the Iraq war veteran -- who wasn't wearing a seat belt -- was left in a semiconscious state and will require care for the rest of his life.
An attorney says millions of dollars will be sought.
Nick Bollea is facing a criminal charge of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury.
