Paul
Walker's
father
Paul
William
Walker
III,
on
Wednesday
November
25,
2015,
filed
a
lawsuit
suing
the
German
car
maker
Porsche
for
his
son's
death
in
2013.
The
'Fast
&
Furious'
actor
died
two
years
ago
in
a
car
accident
in
California.
The
actor
was
on
a
break
from
making
the
'Furious
7'
movie
when
the
incident
occurred.
His
car
Porsche
Carrera
GT
was
driven
by
his
friend
Roger
Rodas,
while
Paul
was
seated
in
the
passenger's
seat.
Both
men
were
lost
in
the
accident.
According
to
the
reports,
driver
Roger
lost
control
over
the
car
and
crashed
into
three
trees.
The
car
burst
into
flames
after
the
crash
and
was
burned
down.
Paul's
father
is
claiming
that
the
car
lacked
safety
measure
which
could
have
saved
his
son
and
the
driver's
life.
The
lawsuit
filed
by
William
Walker
claims
a
wrongful
and
negligence
death
of
his
son.
He
says
the
car
had
a
history
of
instability
and
control
issues.
Similar
issues
have
been
raised
by
Paul's
widowed
wife
and
daughter
Meadow
Walker.
But
company
responded
to
Meadow
Walker's
lawsuit
saying
that
"Porsche
Carrera
GT
had
been
altered
and
improperly
maintained
and
those
factors
contributed
to
the
deaths
of
Walker
and
Rodas," it
added,
"knowingly
and
voluntarily
assumed
all
risk".
