Less than a month after Porsche said in court documents that Paul Walker's November 2013 car-wreck death was his own fault, the late actor's father has sued the car company.
“Mr. Walker’s death, and all other injuries or damages claimed, were the result of Mr. Walker’s own comparative fault,” the company said in court documents earlier this month. Walker's father filed suit on Wednesday.

"Walker's father, who is the executor of his son's estate, filed the lawsuit claiming that the Porsche Carrera GT that his son was riding in lacked safety features that could have saved the actor's life," CBS reported.
Walker died as he was in the middle of filming "Furious 7," which was shot largely in Atlanta.
His daughter Meadow Walker, in papers filed by her attorney, claims that the seatbelt in the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT that he was a passenger in snapped the actor back, breaking his ribs and pelvis, trapping him in the seat as the car burned around him.
Porsche's statements were in response to Meadow Walker's suit.
