Paul Walker‘s daughter Meadow Walker has finally settled her wrongful death suit against car maker Porsche, two years after she claimed the company was responsible for her father’s death.

MEADOW WALKER SETTLES WITH PORSCHE

The terms of the settlement between Walker, 18, and Porsche is being kept confidential. Porsche has also settled a separate lawsuit filed by Paul Walker’s father, Paul Walker III. He is the acting executor of his son’s estate.

Paul Walker was 40 when the Porsche Carrera GT he was in crashed into a tree near a charity event in Santa Clarita, California, on Nov. 30, 2013. Walker and driver Roger Roadas were pronounced dead at the scene. Almost two years later, Meadow Walker files her lawsuit, claiming that the car’s engine lacked the safety measures needed to prevent her dad’s death.

According to her lawsuit, Walker was trapped by the seatbelt design and alive for over a minute, stuck, before the car burst into flames.

“The bottom line is that the Porsche Carrera GT is a dangerous car,” said Meadow’s lawyer Jeff Milam at the time. “It doesn’t belong on the street. And we shouldn’t be without Paul Walker or his friend, Roger Rodas.” In response, Porsche claimed that Paul Walker “knowingly and voluntarily assumed all risk, perils and danger in respect to the use of the subject 2005 Carrera GT.”

In the company’s original filing, they say that the 2005 Carrera GT was “comported with the state of the art,” and that any abuse of the vehicle “caused or contributed to the incident and to Mr. Walker’s death.”

“Mr. Walker’s death, and all other injuries or damages claimed, were the result of Mr. Walker’s own comparative fault,” read the Porsche court documents.

Meadow Walker has posted often about her dad on Instagram with adorable photos of the two of them with nice messages. “Reflecting on my father, I found myself reflecting on his passions,” she wrote on what would have Walker’s 44th birthday. “His passion for the ocean, his passion for rescuing animals, his passion for helping people and his passion for spontaneous goodwill. I wanted to start this foundation because I want to share that piece of him with the world. I want to share that part of him with others. I am tremendously proud to be launching The #PaulWalkerFoundation (@paulwalkerfdn) on his birthday. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my father. #DoGood.”
