After surviving a disastrous plane crash in September, Travis Barker, the former drummer for Blink 182 has filed a lawsuit against the plane's owners, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., and an airplane maintenance company seeking more than $25,000 in damages.
Barker and fellow traveller DJ Adam Goldstein were the only survivors of the crash. The two pilots of the plane, Chris Baker, Barker's assistant and Charles Monroe Still Jr, his bodyguard did not survive the crash.
After the crash, Barker and Goldstein suffered second and third degree burns and were admitted to the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctor's Hospital in Augusta, Georgia.
Barker is seeking damages for pain, suffering, disfigurement, loss of earnings as well as medical and legal expenses. His allegation is that the accident took place because of the negligence of the companies that operated and maintained the Learjet. In addition to these allegations, Barker also claims in his lawsuit that the pilots who died in the crash were inadequately trained.
