Porsche Responds to Paul Walker Wrongful Death Lawsuit

 

Less than two months after Paul Walker's daughter Meadow Walker, filed a lawsuit againt Porsche alleging that the Porsche Carrera GT lacked safety features that could have prevented the accident, the car company is now out with a statement defending themselves against the accusations.

In court documents Porsche alleges that Paul "knowingly and voluntarily assumed all risk, perils and danger in respect to the use of the subject 2005 Carrera GT”. The company goes on to state that the “risk and dangers were open and obvious and known to him and that he chose to conduct himself in a manner so as to expose himself to such perils, dangers and risks, thus assuming all the risks involved in using the vehicle”. The company also added that Meadow isn’t entitled to any compensation because Paul “was a knowledgeable and sophisticated user of the car”.

Mean while Jeff Milam attorney of Meadow has continue to argue to argue that Paul was not at fault for the incident, in response to Porsche's filing Jeff said “It is beyond regrettable that Porsche is trying to deflect its own responsibility by blaming the victim Paul Walker for his own death by getting into the passenger seat of its Carrera G.T.  
Contrary to Porsche's assertions, the facts are clear: Paul was the passenger in a car that was not designed to protect its occupants in a crash on a dry, empty straightaway in broad daylight and at speeds well below the vehicle's advertised capabilities”. If Porsche had designed the car to include proper safety features, Paul would have survived, he would be filming Fast and Furious 8, and Meadow Walker would have the father she adored”
