The parents of the 14-year-old Everett girl who’s in a coma after she was struck by a vehicle in a Chelsea parking lot have filed a lawsuit against the motorist accused of driving erratically and crashing into the girl.

Watertown man Ceserino Borelli, 44, was arrested and charged last week after he allegedly hit 14-year-old Milena Tene while she was walking with her father through a pot shop parking lot in Chelsea.

Now, Milena’s family has filed a civil lawsuit against Borelli for the alleged crash. The girl is in a medically induced coma following the incident.

In the civil lawsuit, Borelli is accused of negligent driving — which is one of the criminal charges against him.

“Milena Tene, a kind and ambitious 14-year-old who loves to swim and enjoys music and photography, dreams of becoming a nurse or a veterinarian. Those dreams may be in jeopardy due to Mr. Borelli’s alleged negligent driving,” Morgan & Morgan attorneys John Morgan, Dillon Brozyna and Garrett Lee said in a statement.

“The injuries Milena has sustained will also limit her ability to enjoy her daily life,” the lawyers added. “While the criminal case progresses, we will explore every angle of this civil case to ensure all negligent parties are held accountable for Milena and her family’s devastating trauma.”

The incident happened last Sunday evening in the parking lot of a Beacham Street cannabis dispensary.

Milena Tene was walking with her father through the RISE Dispensary cannabis shop’s parking lot in Chelsea when Borelli allegedly drove his vehicle over a curb, sending it flying into the air, through a fence and crashing into Milena — who was thrown into the air and onto the pavement.

According to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, witnesses told Chelsea Police that Borelli’s vehicle “flew over the fence” bordering the parking lot before striking the girl. Milena was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment of severe injuries.

Borelli in court last week was ordered held on $7,500 bail after being charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, and speeding.

The judge ordered Borelli not to drive while the case against him is pending, and to stay in Massachusetts.

Borelli is expected to return to court on July 19 for a pre-trial hearing.
