Paul Walker daughter Meadow Walker has reportedly settled the wrongful death lawsuit against Porsche.
On November 30, 2013, the Fast and Furious actor died while in the passenger seat of a Carrera GT Porsche, which was being driven by his friend Roger Rodas, when it crashed into a row of trees.
According to E! News, the lawsuit was settled with Porsche on October 16.
Meadow, 18, sued Porsche over allegations that the Carrera GT lacked key safely features, and they alleged that the company knew that the car model “had a history of instability and control issues.”
However, Porsche denied any responsibility, and said that the crash happened due to “reckless driving and excessive speed”.
Terms of the settlement are confidential, but the documents state that both parties have requested for a dismissal of the lawsuit.
Back in 2016, Meadow was awarded $10.1 million by the estate of Roger Rodas, who also passed away in the car accident.
At the time, Meadow’s lawyer Jeff Milam told People that the amount she was awarded was not sufficient.
“The amount paid by the estate of Roger Rodas into a trust for Meadow Walker only covers a fraction of what her father would have earned as an international movie star had his life not tragically been cut short,” he said.
“Through his estate, Mr. Rodas, the driver of the car, took partial responsibility for the crash. Meadow’s lawsuit against Porsche AG – a $13 billion corporation – intends to hold the company responsibly for producing a vehicle that was defective and caused Paul Walker’s death.”
