In the documents, the car company "alleges that Mr Walker knowingly and voluntarily assumed all risk, perils and danger in respect to the use of the subject 2005 Carrera GT, that the perils, risk and dangers were open and obvious and known to him, and that he chose to conduct himself in a manner as to expose himself to such perils, dangers and risks, thus assuming all the risks involved in using the vehicle.

"Mr Walker's voluntary assumption of the risk should bar the plaintiff's recovery or, in the alternative, should reduce the plaintiff's right to recovery from PCNA in an amount equivalent to Mr Walker's fault."

The lawsuit added that if the seatbelt were not flawed, Walker may have been able to exit the vehicle before it caught fire which was allegedly caused by faulty "rubber fuel lines."

The "Fast and Furious" actor died in the collision in November of 2013 after his friend, Roger Rodas, who was driving, lost control of the vehicle resulting in the accident that killed both.
