Why the law suit?

Before I ask my question, I have to say to that I was and still am a fan of P.W.'s movies. I was saddened to hear about his death and then stunned and horrified to hear that he died in such a horrible crash.

That being said, I still have a question: why has the family been forced to sue? Yes, it's true the crash was horrible but didn't P.W. specialize in these high end supercars with his partner who perished? The average guy can't just buy a car like this...These are specialized racing cars designed by porsche.

If the car had multiple previous owners, that's a sign something's not right - and porsche would have to know this too.

I would think Porsche would just quietly settle. Why make this situation a public spectacle hurting future sales, why force the family to sue, why prolong closure for the family AND the fans?

Or is this a classic case of power conceding nothing without a struggle? Porsche has $$$millions and they're not giving it up without a fight - even if it is a case of being wrong. : (
