Paul Walker's dad has filed a lawsuit against Porsche for what he calls "wrongful death of his son" on Wednesday, November 25.
In the court documents, obtained by People magazine, Paul Walker Snr. – who is the executor of Walker's estate – alleges that the Porsche Carrera GT lacked certain safety features that could have saved the lives of Walker and his friend, Roger Rodas, who was driving at the time of the 2013 accident.

Similar to the wrongful death lawsuit Walker's daughter Meadow brought against the car company, Walker's father states that the missing features include a stability control system, side-door reinforcements and a breakaway fuel line that could have stopped the car from catching on fire after it hit three trees.
After investigating, police determined the cause of the fatal accident to be speeding, stating that the driver had been going between 80 and 90 MPH at the time of impact. Despite the official investigation, the new lawsuit states, "absent these defects in the Porsche Carrera GT, Paul Walker would be alive today."
