Daughter of Paul Walker Settles Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Porsche
Many of us remember Paul Walker for his entertaining movies, especially the Fast and Furious franchise. Others, like his daughter, remember him in a different light – as a loving father who left this world too soon. The actor’s tragic death nearly four years ago shocked the world after he passed away in a car accident. He had been riding as a passenger in a “Porsche Carrera GT while his friend, Roger Rodas, was driving.” Shortly after his death, though, his daughter, Meadow Walker, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Porsche, alleging that the “history of instability and control issues by the car, more specifically her father being trapped by a faulty seat belt, is what led Paul to burn alive.” Fortunately for Miss Walker, the lawsuit was settled on October 16th.
