DJ AM seeks legal recourse for air crash

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- A suit filed in Los Angeles by DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein, claims the pilots, among others, were responsible for the plane crash that left him severely burned.

Goldstein's suit filed Tuesday in Superior Court seeks compensation from the dead pilots' estates as well as Learjet and Goodyear tires for the Sept. 19 plane wreck in South Carolina, People.com reported.

The lawsuit alleges the pilots "were either poorly trained and/or failed to follow their training" and the plane was "defective ... and unreasonably dangerous," People said.

Compensation for pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement and loss of earnings is being sought by Goldstein, 35, the last victim of the crash to file suit, People said.

His friend, drummer Travis Barker, was also seriously injured and Barker's bodyguard, Charles Sill, 25, died in the wreck along with the two pilots.
