Meadow Walker, the 17-year-old daughter of actor Paul Walker, has been awarded $10.1 million in a settlement with the estate of Roger Rodas. Both Rodas and Walker died when the Porsche Carrera GT Rodas was driving crashed and exploded on November, 20, 2103.

"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," Meadow's lawyer Jeff Milam said in a statement to People on Thursday. "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."

On Monday, a judge ruled that there was not enough evidence to prove that Porsche was responsible for the crash in the lawsuit brought by the Rodas estate. However, Meadow's lawyer says that ruling has no impact on his client's case against the car company.

"The issues in the cases are very different," Milam said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "The federal case was filed on behalf of Roger Rodas, who was the driver of the Porsche Carrera GT and was killed instantly upon impact. Meadow's father, Paul Walker, was a passenger in the car. He survived the crash but was trapped and burned to death because of the vehicle's defects. A significant portion of the judge's decision was based on his rejection of evidence because of missed deadlines and also a failure to sue Porshe AG, the manufacturer. Meadow will continue the fight to hold Porsche accountable for selling a defective product that kills."

I heard that her next lawsuit is against the tree that PW crashed into.

[Berzerker]

And the person who planted it.

Berz out.

Some closure, at last! Running after Porsche is not the answer. Roger Rodas was behind the wheel and operating the car in an unsafe manner. Blame lies squarely on Mr. Rodas shoulders.

WTF, I don't think I deserve such a response to my post! If you have something to say, say it! Otherwise :stfu:

Not sure if you're being serious or just stupid...

He willfully got into the vehicle (a high performance racing machine) with someone whom he co-owned a performance shop with, someone whom he raced with, a good friend, etc.

That's like me getting into the car of a drunk person and then getting mad that they crashed.

[unit]

im craying now

[zilley]

damn, shes hot.

[extracrunchie]

Only in America, can some one really sue a car company? Like really there are millions of cars accidents a year. Imagine if they all got sued, all this money grabbing is really disrespecting the deceased.

[68style]

What are you guys complaining about? Same thing would happen here except it would be through ICBC and this is exactly why you max out your optimal coverage at $5mill and don't give rides to people with super high paying careers... I'm being serious there... I've seen tonnes of friends sue other friends they were riding with for injuries when shit happened. It's totally normal.

[ScizzMoney]

damn, shes hot.

She's like 3 years old there dude :drunk:

[zilley]

She's like 3 years old there dude :drunk:

yeah, i m totally talking about the 3 years old her.

[Bahhbeehhaaaa]

And the person who planted it.

Berz out.

and the municipality for hiring the person who planted it

[SkinnyPupp]

How can the driver AND the car be to blame? Pick one! :fulloffuck:

[SkinnyPupp]

yeah, i m totally talking about the 3 years old her.
I thought it was a typo and you meant "he" Kreygasm

[Mr.Money]

living it up on dead daddies money all happy.......kinda sad really.

[lowside67]

Edit: If you want to show how pretty she is, keep the pics SFW - no skimpy bikinis, etc

[flagella]

Must be a dream for guys to marry her. Marrying a hot girl with a cool father-in-law lol

A father in law becomes fairly irrelevant when dead before the girl is even old enough to get married.

That's a shitty way of looking at it. Parents, generally, live for their children. Paul ensured she was taken care of financially and I'm sure he'd be relieved knowing that she's able to live a full life now that he's gone.

When shit hits the fan, sue everybody. You put out a big enough net you'll catch something. She did.

Taking the 10 million from the estate of a friend certainly isn't my idea of something he'd be proud of though. While any good parent wants their child to be safe, any good person would care just as much that they had morals.
I'd bet 10 fucking million that Paul would have been doing the same thing in the drivers seat if the spots were reversed.

[white rocket]

Yeah, that's true. Depends on what was taken away from Roger's family to get that 10 million to Meadow I suppose. Are they out on the street now while Meadow is ballin' it up? 'Cause that would be a dick move.

Compared to Paul walkers estate why the hell would she need that 10 million? Its not like she would have been left poor from her own fathers estate. Where the fuck did all Paul's money go that its not enough for her to survive comfortably 100x over?

[68style]

You've never ridden in a car when someone did something stupid and injured you for life. Change your tune pretty fast if you couldn't work or live normally anymore.

In all those cases they knew the persons 3rd party would cover it. They're all still close friends, but you're crazy if you lose the use of your right arm (for example) and don't try to get compensation just because it's your buddy's insurance.

well actually i have been in the situation. I was injured, granted i was not seriously injured but i did not claim insurance because in my case my friend would have been royally fucked if i did.

Different situation, if my friend insurance can pay me out and my friend won't take a insurance hit or other penalties I would. Hard to think of a situation where stupidity doesnt end up with some kind of penalty. As a friend I don't feel the need to step on my friends when they are down.

than again, I'm not talking about serious life changing injuries, even if I lose a arm I would have to look at the context of accident and our friendship. For some friend I will lost an arm for them.

[Mr.Money]

Paul's best friend must be pissed having 10 million stolen from his family so The Celebrity Child could live it up just a little Longer,yeah it doesn't matter about him he died...its all about paul and his Fast&furious movies...not professional driving

she must love alll the attention too she makes her last name known on social media.
Look at those sheep "Paul walkers daughter!....hi!!.. <3 "


Your next Porche,it's going to make me even more happy without a father and more money.

[DragonChi]

Does it work like ICBC here? Does insurance cover bring sued?

Well I think the justice here is that with Paul Walker gone, her inheritance is substantially less. Her lawyers must have had a hell of a time proving she would have even gotten a penny of that money.

[Ferra]

I'd tell my friend to sue me if insurance is paying for it
not my money anyway, just don't go after my personal assets lol

If you lost an arm over your friend being an idiot, he should be pulling out all the stops to make sure you're taken care of, not the other way around.

Any friend worth losing an arm for wouldn't be like "dude sucks about your arm and all but my insurance rates are already hella high so...."

Even if the accident wasn't my fault i'd feel like shit.

[Mancini]

Filing for damages against a negligent 3rd party isn't a dick move. In particular where they're insured for same.
