Porsche ‘Deflecting Responsibility’ On Paul Walker’s Death? Luxury Carmaker Insists ‘Fast & Furious’ Star Knew All The Risks

Porsche has responded to the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Meadow Walker as the luxury carmaker petitioned the court to throw away the case because Paul Walker knew all the risks in getting into the car prior to the crash.

But lawyer Jeff Milam said that what Porsche is doing is a classic case of deflecting "its own responsibility by blaming the victim-Paul Walker-for his own death."

"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," the lawyer' statement sent to E! News read.

"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," the lawyer added.

Meadow filed a wrongful death suit on Sept. 28 as she accused Porsche of manufacturing a "dangerous car" in the Carrera G.T.

"The bottom line is that the Porsche Carrera GT is a dangerous car. It doesn't belong on the street," the lawyer said in a statement at that time. "And we shouldn't be without Paul Walker or his friend, Roger Rodas."

But Porsche slammed the wrongful death lawsuit as the luxury carmaker insisted in its response to the court that Paul Walker "knowingly and voluntarily assumed all risk, perils and danger in respect to the use of the subject 2005 Carrera GT."

The reply also said that the risks and dangers "were open and obvious" to the "Fast & Furious" actor, but "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."
