In a new lawsuit, the guardian for John Graziano — the incapacitated 22-year-old active-duty Marine who was a passenger in Hogan Knows Best 17-year-old co-star Nick Hogan’s Toyota Supra when it crashed in late August 2007 — seeks to recover damages from Hulk and Linda for their son’s actions. Here are some highlights from the lawsuit’s allegations and theories:
- Nick negligently operated his Toyota Supra by racing another man in a Dodge Viper, a car also owned by Hulk.
- The Hogans were aware of Nick’s speed fetish and knew that he had altered his vehicle for racing.
- Hulk purchased alcohol the day of the accident and “knew or should have known” Nick was driving under the influence and failed to take appropriate action.
