Paul Walker's Daughter Files a Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Porsche

Nearly two years after Paul Walker's tragic death, his daughter, Meadow, is doing her part to seek justice. The 16-year-old has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Porsche, the company that made the car that Paul and his friend, Roger Rodas, were driving in when they crashed in November 2013. In the lawsuit, Meadow's lawyers claim that her father would still be alive if the company had installed proper safety features in the car. It also claims that Porsche knew that the specific car Paul had been in "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." Meadow's lawyers are also claiming that a "defective" seatbelt design kept Paul trapped in the car, preventing him from escaping the vehicle once it caught on fire.

"It is with great reluctance that Meadow Walker has authorized the filing of this lawsuit on her own behalf and as heir to Paul Walker's estate," her attorney, Jeff Milam, told People. "She's a teenage girl who is still dealing with the tragic loss of her father. She values her privacy and won't be making any comment. We ask everyone to respect that." In addition to seeking justice for Paul, Meadow also keeps his memory alive via social media.
