Meadow Walker has been awarded a large settlement deal for the fatal crash involving her father, Paul Walker. Meadow was given a settlement worth $10.1 million from the estate of Roger Rodas, who was the driver of the Porsche that killed both himself and Walker in November 2013.

Furthermore, Meadow has continued to pursue a wrongful death suit against Porsche, citing that the car's lack of basic safety features was a factor in her father's death. However, Rodas' widow, Kristine Rodas, had lost a similar suit against Porsche after a court judge had dismissed the car company from the defect claims presented. 

Paul was best known for his continued role in the Fast and Furious franchise. Following his death — which coincided with the filming of Furious 7 — the movie adjusted its initial ending, paying tribute to the actor in an emotional ending scene, coupled with a chart-topping single, "See You Again."
