A lawsuit filed in Florida by professional wrestler Hulk Hoganwas thrown out of the ring by a judge this month.

The lawsuit filed about a year ago in Pinellas County, Fla.,alleged insurance broker Wells Fargo Southeast did not inform thepopular entertainer, whose real name is Terry Bollea, of anadditional excess/umbrella policy to cover his assets. This leftBollea underinsured when his son, Nick, was in a 2007 automobileaccident that severely injured a passenger.

Last November Bollea added his ex-wife Linda to the lawsuitbecause she was his business manager and allegedly had theresponsibility of attaining the right insurance for her thenhusband.

Wells Fargo has said the lawsuit was without merit and that itmade several attempts to recommend coverage to Bollea’sex-wife.

In August 2007 Bollea's son got into an accident and left thepassenger with a serious brain injury. The professional wrestlersigned for his son's driver's license, which exposed him toliability, but his insurance remained inadequate, the suitsays.

Bollea settled claims against him related to the accident for anundisclosed amount, paying for some out of his pocket.

Bollea used Wells Fargo as his insurance broker for about 10years and relied on the broker to tell him about additionalinsurance coverage to protect his worth, which was about $30million in August 2007, according to court documents.
