DJ AM Sues For $20 Million
One of the benefits of surviving a fatal plane crash is being able to sue for lots and lots of thick dolla. Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM, is doing just that. He is seeking $20 million in damages related to his deadly crash survived by Travis Barker and himself.
DJ AM is suing plane manufacturer Learjet and several other companies. The breakdown includes: $10 million for medical expenses, lost earnings, profits and economic damages and another $10 million related to mental and physical pain and other "non-economic losses."
If the case goes to trial, a jury will decide if he will be awarded any damages.
Several of the companies sued last year by Goldstein and fellow crash survivor Travis Barker are seeking a trial delay until after a government investigation of the crash is complete.
"Daily I live with the guilt and grief of what happened that night, what I saw, who was lost and why I was spared," DJ AM has said of the Sept. 19 crash. "I have no words to express the pain that comes with knowing four people died, while I lived."
DJ AM and Travis deserve all of the money that they're asking for. Hopefully inspections will become more thorough and the lives of future passengers will be saved as a result of their lawsuits.
