Paul Walker's 16-year-old daughter has filed a wrongfuldeath lawsuit against Porsche. MeadowWalker claimed that her father was burned to death because thevehicle he occupied, which crashed and killed the "Fast andFurious" actor, was poorly built.

The civil lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Supreme Court on Monday,claims that Walker, 40, was killed because Porsche, themanufacturer of the Carrera GT sports car skimped on "safetyfeatures that are found on well-designed racing cars or evenPorsche's least expensive road cars."

The car crash took the lives of both Walker and his friend,Roger Rodas, the 38-year-old professional race car driver who wasdriving at the time of the crash. Both were burned beyondrecognition after the car slammed into a concrete lamp post and atree, on November 30, 2013.

Investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Departmentand California Highway Patrol concluded that the crash resultedfrom high speeds, and not a mechanical failure.

Rodas' widow, Kristin, has also sued Porsche, with claims that thevehicle's design was flawed.

Poorly designed seat belts were among the problems with the car,claimed by the lawsuit.

According to the suit, when the car broke apart, the shoulderbelt anchors "traveled with the rear engine compartment while theseat belt anchors remained with the passenger compartment." "Thissnapped Walker's torso back with thousands of pounds of force,thereby breaking his ribs and pelvis, flattening his seat andtrapping him."

The lawsuit claims that he remained there, alive and "in asupine position" until the vehicle burst into flames secondslater.

The suit also claims another design flaw—"rubber fuel lines thatlacked break-free fittings to automatically" shut off the flow offuel—was what caused the fire.

"Absent these defects in the Porsche Carrera GT, Paul Walkerwould be alive today," the suit says.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Porsche said: "We have notseen the new lawsuit and therefore cannot comment on its specifics.As we have said before, we are saddened whenever anyone is hurt ina Porsche vehicle, but we believe the authorities reports in thiscase clearly established that this tragic crash resulted fromreckless driving and excessive speed."

A Porsche spokesman, in response to Rodas' lawsuit last year,said the "crash was the subject of a detailed investigation" by"proper authorities." The investigation, the spokesman said,"disproves the allegations in the lawsuit."

Although investigators concluded that the Porsche was travelingat a speed of up to 94 mph when it crashed, Meadow Walker's lawsuitincludes a detailed recounting of the crash and contends that thePorsche was traveling 63 to 71 mph when it spun out of control.
