The father of the late Paul Walker and the widow of the actor’s friend Roger Rodas, filed wrongful death lawsuits against the car manufacturer Porsche on Wednesday.
As we previously reported, Walker’s daughter, Meadow, filed a wrongful death suit against the German automaker in September. Porsche then responded to that suit and said that her father’s death was “a result of his own comparative fault.”
Walker was the passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT driven by Rodas when the car spun out of control, hit some trees and burst into flames on a Santa Clarita, California, street in 2013. Both men were killed in the crash.
The Associated Press noted that in the newest suit, the Fast and the Furious star’s father claimed that the vehicle lacked safety features that could have saved his son’s life.
The suit is similar to the one Meadow filed.
"The bottom line is that the Porsche Carrera GT is a dangerous car,” Meadow's attorney, Jeff Milam, said when she filed that suit. “It doesn't belong on the street. And we shouldn't be without Paul Walker or his friend, Roger Rodas."
Porsche has not yet responded to the latest suit.
