Paul Walker's Daughter Received $10m Settlement From Rodas Estate

Amid all the lawsuits that have been flying around following the tragic death of Fast and Furious star Paul Walker in 2013, it’s been hard to keep track. Porsche has been sued by three different people over the Carrera GT crash which claimed the star’s life, and it’s now emerged that Walker’s daughter Meadow reached a $10.1 million settlement with the estate of Roger Rodas - the driver of the car - back in 2014.

It went unnoticed at the time due to it being filed under the name ‘Meadow W’, but according to celebrity news site TMZ the settlement was made under the understanding Rodas was ‘partly’ to blame for the accident. It’s not the only lawsuit launched by Meadow either. The 17-year-old is one of three people to have brought legal action to the door of Porsche, the other two being the widow of Roger Rodas - Kristine - and Paul Walker’s father.

Last week Porsche was ruled to be not responsible for the accident by the judge presiding over Kristine Rodas’ lawsuit, which alleged that the Carrera GT suffered suspension failure. Paul Walker’s father - the executor of the late star’s estate - also sued the Rodas family in 2014 amid claims that they were in possession of a number of vehicles belonging to Paul.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

That’s right children, if you want to be financially stable in life, get your father to be the passenger of an 11 year old V10 German supercar, have it crashed into a tree, sue the manufacturer for the actions of the person driving it and after two years, you’ll have a higher combined income than a petroleum engineer………..Get real, the family is MAKING MONEY OFF OF HOMIE’S DEATH!!!!!! WHAT DOES THAT SAY TO THE REST OF THE WORLD?!?!!??!

I’m not trying to be rude or anything but I don’t think that people should be suing Porsche. Rodas was driving at an unsafe speed around a corner. Them suing Porsche is them basically saying that the car killed Paul and Roger. That’s like saying that guns kill people and utensils make people fat.

I get what you’re trying to say but I’ve heard that paul didn’t die instantly but was trapped by the seatbelt and wasn’t able to get out to avoid burning. However I’m not confirming anything. It’s just rumors I’ve heard.

Money will never bring him back. Paul probably wouldn’t of asked for this.

Porsche should not accept responsibility, because the Carrera GT was already long out of production by the time Roger bought the car 2nd hand.

Well to be honest any high power car like the carrera gt is a firecracker ready to go off, any car that is really powerful (looking at you ferrari) is bound to become somewhat unstable and inevitably burn. Sure there are many cases where that doesn’t happen but it isn’t something to be blamed upon someone.
