Porsche reveals shocking reasons behind Paul Walkers death

It's been two years since "Fast and Furious" actor Paul Walker passed away, but it's just now that new developments have surfaced regarding the wrongful death suit filed by his daughter, Meadow Walker, claiming that Porsche should be at fault for the late actor's death. Based on the new court documents obtained by E! News , Porsche the vehicle brand that the late Paul was riding in November 2013 alleged that the actor "knowingly and voluntarily assumed all risk, perils and danger in respect to the use of the subject 2005 Carrera GT." Furthermore, Porsche stated that Paul was knowledgeable of the situation's hazards. "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 documents read. Therefore, Paul's heir, Meadow, will not be receiving any compensation from Porsche if indeed the court rules in favor of the car company that alleges Paul to be "a knowledgeable and sophisticated user of the car," and is at fault for his own death. After the party of Meadow was informed of the car company's stand, Meadow's attorney Jeff Milam released a statement urging that Paul was not a victim of his own actions. "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." the statement read as quoted by TMZ . Milam further explained that the vehicle from Porsche lacked safety features that could have prevented Paul's death. "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." Previously, Meadow's camp said that Porsche failed to respond to the known unstable history and control issues of the Carrera GT. They believe that it is the car company's responsibility including the result of their inaction, People reports. The car crash's cause in November 2013, with Paul in the passenger seat and friend Roger Rodas who also died, was initially deemed to be speeding. Police reported that the driver was going between 80 and 93 mph at the time of the incident.
