DJ AM files suit over plane crash

A celebrity disc jockey who survived a fiery Learjet crash in South Carolina has sued several companies and the estates of the plane’s pilots.

Adam Goldstein, known as DJ AM, filed his complaint for negligence and breach of contract this week in Los Angeles Superior Court. Goldstein and punk rocker Travis Barker, who has also sued the companies, were the sole survivors of the Sept. 19 crash.

Barker sued on behalf of the family of his bodyguard, Charles Still; the widow of Barker’s assistant, Chris Baker, filed her own lawsuit earlier this month.

Goldstein and Barker were seriously burned escaping the plane. The pair plan to perform together again for the first time since the crash at an event in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. They perform under the name TRVSDJAM.

Goldstein’s lawsuit doesn’t specify how much money he hopes to receive.
