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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
