Paul Walker's daughter sues Porsche over father's death
- 9 years ago
Almost two years after the tragic car accident that resulted in the death of Paul Walker, his 16-year-old daughter, Meadow Walker, has filed a lawsuit against Porsche.
The wrongful death suit claims that the company "took safety shortcuts while loading the Porsche Carrera GT with a 605-horsepower engine capable of up to 205 mph and marketing it as a race car licensed for the road."
In May 2014, Kristine Rodas filed a similar lawsuit against Porsche, one year after Walker's driver and her husband Roger Rodas was killed in the same crash.
Bustle has reached out to Meadow Walker and to Porsche for comment, but have yet to hear back.
In the original investigation into the cause of the horrific 2013 crash, mechanical problems were not found to be a potential cause for the accident.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Department and the California Highway Patrol reached these conclusions in tandem with Porsche technicians, and, in the case of the Kristine Rodas lawsuit, Porsche denied any defects in the car model.
