$10 Million Settlement Reached Over Paul Walker’s Tragic Death
The daughter of Paul Walker has reached a $10.1 million settlement with the estate of the man who crashed the vehicle that her father died in while riding as a passenger. “Walker was a passenger in a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT driven by Roger Rodas when the car, traveling at speeds of 80 to 93 miles per hour (129 to 150 kilometers per hour), careened into trees and a utility pole in Santa Clarita, northwest of Los Angeles.” The settlement, which went unnoticed for a period of time because it was filed under “Meadow W,” was reached in November 2014. The settlement probably covers only a fraction of what Paul Walker would have earned as a major movie star if his life had not tragically ended so soon. Meadow Walker is Paul Walker’s only child and sole heir.
