Paul Walker’s Daughter Finally Settles Lawsuit Against Porsche After Blaming Them For Her Father’s Death

Paul Walker’s Daughter Finally Settles Lawsuit Against Porsche After Blaming Them For Her Father’s Death

Paul Walker’s name was synonymous with cars. A key cast member in the highly successful Fast & Furious franchise, Walker was a self-confessed “crazy car guy” who “always wanted to race”. However, the world didn’t anticipate the 40-year-old actor’s life ending whilst inside a vehicle.

On November 30, 2013, Walker was involved in a high impact crash in California whilst traveling in a Porsche Carrera GT with his financial advisor, Roger Rodas. Rodas, an amateur racer, was behind the wheel of the red Porsche when it collided with a concrete lamp post before spinning out of control into two trees, where is subsequently burst into flames.

Rodas died of multiple trauma, while Walker lost his life to the combined effect of trauma and burns. The severity of the flames meant that both bodies were burned beyond recognition. Details of the crash have long been speculated upon, but an investigation concluded that the car’s speed and the age of the tires were the primary reasons for the crash.

Walker’s tragic death prompted mourning across the globe, especially from Fast & Furious fans. But it was his teenager daughter, Meadow, who experienced the most pain.

Looking for answers, Meadow placed blame with Porsche for her father’s death, claiming that the vehicle has several design defects, including a history of instability and the fact that the seatbelt placement can cause harm upon impact. It was her belief that the faulty seatbelt trapped her father in the vehicle, prompting him to be overcome by the flames.

Initially Porsche denied any responsibility and blamed Walker himself in a statement that read: “The perils, risk, and danger were open and obvious and known to him, and he chose to conduct himself in a manner so as to expose himself to such perils, dangers, and risks, thus assuming all the risks involved in using the vehicle.”

In April 2016, a US District Court Judge ruled in favor of Porsche in a separate court case opened by Roger Rodas widow, Kristine. However, this ruling had no bearing on Meadow’s case, or the case opened by Walker’s father, Paul III.

In court documents, it was claimed that the seatbelt “snapped Walker’s torso back with thousands of pounds of force, thereby breaking his ribs and pelvis.” Thus, rendering him unable to escape the burning wreckage.

Last year, Meadow, whose godfather is Walker’s Fast & Furious co-star Vin Diesel, was awarded $10.1 million from the estate of Roger Rodas in a wrongful death settlement.

This week it was announced that her wrongful death lawsuit against Porsche has been settled after both parties came to a resolution. Both Porsche and 18-year-old Meadow have requested the dismissal of the case. Details of the settlement agreement is yet to be disclosed, however, court documents show that Paul’s father also settled his own lawsuit against Porsche.

Meanwhile, Meadow’s fame is continuing to rise as the 18-year-old collects followers online, with 1.4 million people following the teen on Instagram. As to her future, it is unclear as to whether she plans to follow in her father’s footsteps and pursue a career in acting, but if she does, she certainly has a promising career ahead of her!

At the time of his death, Walker was filming Furious 7. The unexpected death threw production into turmoil as they planned a way to bring the movie to cinema screens without having to entirely rewrite the script. Luckily his brothers, who bear physical similarities to the actor, stepped in to fill in the elements of the film that Walker hadn’t yet filmed.

When the film came out it was an emotional rollercoaster for fans, but mostly for the cast. Watch how they paid tribute to their friend and “brother” in this video:

Doctors Say That People Who Bite Their Nails Have Specific Personality Traits

Doctors Say That People Who Bite Their Nails Have Specific Personality Traits

Nail biting is an extremely common habit.

It's not particularly healthy or desirable, but many people do it.

Psychologists have examined the personality traits common to nail biters.

They've found that this nervous habit is a marker of one personality trait, in particular.

Most nail biters are actually perfectionists.

Researchers from Montreal found that people bite their nails in order to satisfy an urge and obtain some type of reward.

This perfectionism can lead to other issues.

Nail biters are also prone to frustration, impatience, and dissatisfaction when they don't obtain their goals. They also have difficulty working at a "normal" pace.

It's not just nail biters who have this personality trait.

The researchers found that any "body-repetitive" behavior shared these traits. That can include playing with your hair, picking at your skin, etc.

Perfectionism isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can have bad effects on a person.

Setting high standards isn't necessarily bad, but it can lead to unhealthy thought patterns when a person falls short of their goals. Be careful not to get consumed with negativity.

The 39 Most Awaited Movies Of 2017

Wow! The 39 Most Awaited Movies Of 2017

2016 is dead, long live 2017! From unmissable blockbusters to more discreet productions, from the return of great filmmakers to the rising of new talents, from Ryan Gosling to actors yet to make a name for themselves, we are running a real risk of being over-spoilt movie-wise this year. Because some films do not yet have an official release date, we’ve decided on a non-exhaustive, rankless list (it was actually pretty hard to contain it to only this many titles).

The Lego Batman Movie – February 10

With its mini-super-heroes made out of plastic, this parody will focus on all the orphan’s fails.

A Cure for Wellness – February 24

Gore Verbinski’s new flick, set in a goosebump-inducing care home, feels a bit like Shutter Island.It’s a place where weird stories intertwine with real human experiments. A Cure for Wellness looks like it’s going to be the weirdest film of the year, so yeah we’re quite excited about it.

John Wick 2 – February 17

Keanu Reeves is fucking back and he’s surprisingly cool in the new John Wick. Neo and Morpheus(Laurence Fishburne) being reunited on-screen, come on, how thrilling is that? Eighteen years after The Matrix, this is what we call acting maturity.

Logan, The Wolverine –March 2

Hugh Jackman is back in the role that made a global star out of him, the best-known mutant ever, Wolverine. This movie is R-Rated, so expect violence and gore, plus it is supposed to introduce X-23. What else do you need?

Trainspotting 2 – January 27

Twenty years later, the band of crazies led by Danny Boyle is back from the dead. Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle and Ewen Bremner are at it again, still coached by the same great director. This little taste of nostalgia is right up our alley.

Lost City of Z – March 24

This movie was a headache for the great James Gray, but he’s finally back with an Amazonian adventure inspired by the true story of Percival Harrison Fawcett, who went looking for a lost civilisation.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword – May 12

 Yes, it is yet another flick about the legend of King Arthur, but this one should be different, or at least that’s what the trailer is hinting at. Director Guy Ritchie has built a fast-paced fresco and after all, how can we say no to Charlie Hunnam, Jude Law, Eric Bana with a bit of Game of Thrones on top?

Life – March 24

A space film starring the duo Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds trying to come back home alive after being attacked by a Martian lifeform they thought they could bring to Earth easy. Mouth-watering.

Ghost in the Shell – March 21

 The most complex and the most badass Japanese anime of all time is getting the live action treatment and fans are ready to shred it to pieces if it is not good enough. Fortunately, if the trailer is anything to go by, it will be. The movie is apparently faithful to the original concept and at the same time distances itself from today’s predictable Hollywood blockbuster recipe, which should make of Ghost In The Shell something more than yet another sci-fi action flick.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 – April 28

Marvel’s schedule is pretty full this year, and things will start with a bang with the comeback of our space gang. This sequel keeps the keys elements that made a world success of its predecessor, but still adds a few things to the mix (notably a few new characters such as Quill’s dad). James Gunn knows his stuff, or at least we hope so.

Alien: Covenant – May 19

It’s back to basics for one of the best sci-fi saga in history. Alien: Covenant, is not really a sequel to Prometheus, it’s some way between that and the first ever episode (confused?). The pretty cool cast, the first promising shots, the new hybrid creatures, all this announces a great movie that will seduce fans old and new.

Wonder Woman – June 2

Let’s be honest: the last two DC Comic movies were not that great, Nonetheless, there is still hope for their next two movies scheduled for this year. The first one, Wonder Woman, will be Amazon’s first solo DC venture and will take place during WW1.

World War Z 2 – No UK release date yet

 Well, no wonder there’s no official release date yet: the Brad Pitt-led movie has yet to be appointed a director, the last one having buggered off to work on Jurassic World 2.

With the filming not started yet and the colossal amount of post-production work on the cards, we admit we don’t really believe it will ever happen. But hey, just in case (and now that we’ve been told that David Fincher might just do it), we’re including in the list.

Spider-Man: Homecoming – July 7

The third version of Spidey is getting its own film, after his appearance in Captain America. Tom Holland will fight off Michael Keaton, who plays a mean Vautour, one of the best villains in the Spider-Man universe. Humour, stunning action scenes, plus a dash of Iron Man. Hell yeah.

Dunkirk – July 21

A new film by Christopher Nolan is an event in itself. This huge cinematic fresco about the evacuation of French-British troops in Dunkirk in 1940 (WW2) is going to be mind-boggling.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets – August 4

The adaptation by Luc Besson (back in sci-fi territory) of the famous comics promises to be amazing. Everybody says it’s going to be THE summer hit and the whole world is waiting for it, so he’s better not screw it up or there’ll be hell to pay.

War for the Planet of the Apes – July 14

Caesar and co are once again embroiled in another (maybe even the last) epic battle betweenWoody Harrelson’s troops and great apes. Although it is quite possible that this movie concludes the prequel series (and we know how it all ends), the first shots promise a great finale.

The Dark Tower – July 28

Not many movies have been the subject of as much gossip as The Dark Tower: one, it’s a rework of a famous Stephen King story and two, it will pit Idris Elba against Matthew McConaughey, so to say that we are pretty thrilled is quite an understatement.

It – September 8

It was about time the most Machiavellian clown in the history of cinema. 2017 will be he year when movie-goers will rediscover Pennywise and scream. We don’t really know what it will look like, but we have faith.

Blade Runner 2049 – October 6

Philip K. Dick + Ridley Scott +Harrison Ford + dark Sci-fi. This combination resulted in a cult movie in 1982. Throw in Denis Villeneuve, one of the best director alive today, add Ryan Gosling and 21st century CGI and you’ll understand why this is the movie we are all waiting for at Konbini.

Kingsman: the Golden Circle – September 29

Despite the glorious cast and its original take on the spy movie genre, nobody really expectedKingsman would be such a success. Let’s see what the future brings.

Thor: Ragnarok – October 27

We had a fight at the office to decide whether to include this one or not, but bloody hell: Thor is gonna fight gladiator Hulk in an arena, in space! That, and the fact that the casting is top notch (with Cate Blanchett and Jeff Goldblum), the fact that Doctor Strange is going to show up and that the whole thing is based on Planet Hulk, one of the best series of this past decade, tipped the scales in favour of its inclusion in the list.

Logan Lucky – No release date yet

A fast-car-cum-murder flick featuring Adam Driver, Daniel Craig, Katherine Waterston, Hilary Swank and Channing Tatum.

Justice League – November 17

This  DC Comics style Avengers mené par Batman et Wonder Woman could be quite good, especially thanks to Ezra Miller’s Flash and Jason Marmoa’s Aquaman (with a nod to Black Superman).

Coco – December 8

This new Pixar animation takes place in a colourful and rather pop Mexico on the Day of the Dead. Cute ghost story follows.

Star Wars: episode VIII – December 15

Star Wars. Nuff’ said.

All Eyez on Me –No release date yet

After the success of Straight Outta Compton, we’re all waiting for this Tupac biopic, which should be out this year.

The Circle – No release date yet

We love Emma Watson when she plays the bright student. She gets a job in a big company hiding a dark secret. Like a long episode of Black Mirror in fact.

Death Note –No  release date yet

Another anime adaptation, announced a while ago. To be fair, we were weary of a Hollywood live action remakes and whitewashing Asian movies.

Detour – No  release date yet

This highly polished revenge cum gangster movie looks like something Nicolas Winding Refn could have directed. It’s the story of a guy who pays a small-time hitman to kill his mum.

Free Fire –March 21

Brie Larson had to appear in the list somewhere. Here she is, gun in hand and lost in a world of full of men.

Get Out – March 17

Get Out is a comedy horror flick that has a young African-American guy meeting the in-laws for the first time, a bunch of racist weirdoes fascinated with hypnosis. It will be interesting to see how it will be received in Trump-led USA.

The Girl With All the Gifts – September 23

It is featured the list because it shows that the zombie movie genre is not yet exhausted, because it’s the adaptation of a best-seller, because it stars Gemma Arterton, and because the trailer is really great

The Love Witch – March 10

This little retro gem of a movie mixes glamour and horror and could very well be one of the best portraits of today’s  femmes fatales.

Okja – No release date yet

Netflix’ coup this year will be Bong Joon-Ho’s new work (The Host, Snowpiercer, Snowpiercer). It will tell the story of a little girl fighting a big conglomerate’s attempts at kidnapping her best friend, a monster called Okja.

If the plot was not enough, let us add that it will star Tilda Swinton, Lily Collins, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Steven Yeun (Glenn in The Walking Dead) and Giancarlo Esposito (Gus in Breaking Bad). Will that do?

Le Redoutable –No  release date yet

Louis Garrel plays director Jean-Luc Godard and falls in love with actress Anne Wiazemsky. Directed by Michel Hazanavicius.

Slice – No release date yet

A weird little pop film that transforms Chance The Rapper into a kind of werewolf implicated in a series of night murders involving pizza delivery boys. Make of this what you will.

Song to Song –No release date yet

It’s directed by Terrence Malick and stars Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Haley Bennett, Natalie Portman, Michael Fassbender, Val Kilmer, Benicio Del Toro, Clifton Collins Jr., Angela Bettis, Bérénice Marlohe, Florence and the Machine and Holly Hunter. That should be enough of reasons, shouldn’t it?

The Trap – No release date yet

Gucci Mane and Harmony Korine, soon to be working together again.

This one is more wishful thinking than anything. Harmony Korine should have made his comeback this year, but he was swamped with work, his buddy Gucci Mane came out of prison and a few more things have messed things up (among which a serious tiff with the cast). We’re still hoping that it won’t spill into 2018 because we really like the idea of having Korine direct Idris Elba, Benicio Del Toro, Al Pacino, Robert Pattinson and James Franco.
