Paul Walker’s Daughter Sues Porsche For Wrongful Death

Close to two years after Paul Walker’s death in a tragic car crash, his daughter, Meadow Walker is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Porsche.TMZ was first to report the lawsuit by Walker’s daughter. According to court documents obtained by E! News, the 16-year-old and her lawyers allege that the Porsche Carrera GT “lacked safety features…that could have prevented the accident or, at a minimum, allowed Paul Walker to survive the crash.”

The suit alleges that Porsche knew that the specific car in Paul’s case “had a history of instability and control issues.” The company, however, reportedly “failed to install its electronic stability control system, which is specifically designed to protect against the swerving actions inherent in hyper-sensitive vehicles of this type.”
Law enforcement had earlier ruled that the cause of the accident was speeding at rates between 80 and 93 MPH. According to the lawsuit, however, Paul’s driver Roger Rodas may have only been going between 63 and 71 MPH when it lost control.The lawsuit goes on to allege that a “defective” seat belt prevented Paul from escaping the vehicle before it caught on fire.

“The bottom line is that the Porsche Carrera GT is a dangerous car,” Meadow’s lawyer Jeff Milam said in a statement to E! News. “It doesn’t belong on the street. And we shouldn’t be without Paul Walker or his friend, Roger Rodas.”

Porsche’s reps are still to comment on the lawsuit.
