Widow Suing Porsche Over Deaths in Paul Walker Crash
The widow of Roger Rodas, who was killed in the accident
that also claimed the life of actor Paul Walker, is suing Porsche, claiming
that the car Rodas and Walker were in suffered from defective mechanics.
Mr. Rodas and Mr. Walker were in a Porsche Carrera GT in
November, 2013 when the vehicle left the road, hit a tree and exploded in
flames, killing both men. Mr. Rodas' widow claims that the car lacked a proper
"crash cage" and "racing fuel cell."
It would be a mistake to pre-judge the merits of this or any
other case. However, The Cochran Firm's defective
products attorneys have seen how poorly designed or manufactured vehicles
and vehicle parts can cost the lives of innocent victims.
While all defective products are dangerous, defective vehicles
present unique dangers. Those dangers are even more paramount when the vehicle
in question is a high-speed, high-performance automobile that is marketed as
such.
The deaths of Messrs. Rodas
and Walker were tragedies. We hope the courts find the truth and help
the families receive justice, in whatever form is appropriate.
