DJ AM Seeks $20M from Learjet

And I don’t blame him one bit!

In his lawsuit against Learjet and others, DJ AM, real name Adam Goldstein, 35, is seeking a minimum $10 million for medical damages, lost earnings and profits, plus the same amount for mental and physical pain and suffering, for a total of at least $20 million, according to court papers filed Friday.

The defendants have denied any responsibility for the crash, the official cause of which is still under investigation …

Barker, DJ AM, Still’s mother and Baker’s widow have filed wrongful death lawsuits against various corporations they allege were responsible. Baker’s widow and DJ AM are also suing the estates of the two pilots.

DJ AM has spoken publicly about the lawsuit against the pilots, saying: “I would NEVER sue the deceased pilots’ estates or personal holdings. I am more than grateful that I survived this horrible accident and I’d never try to take anything from those that didn’t. Despite the misinterpretations of the lawsuit, this suit is against the insurance companies that insured the pilots. I’m not after Sarah’s or James’ personal estates nor their property. Everyone involved in this suit has suffered a great deal, and I would not do anything to make matters worse for the deceased family and friends.

He has yet to issue a statement about the Learjet lawsuit, and I doubt he will, as it’s not likely to cause the same sort of controversy as the lawsuit against the pilots’ estates.

  • Why is he suing LearJet before the investigation is done? If it turns out not to be their fault, he’s going to look like a friggin’ idiot.

  • I still don’t know why this guy is famous other than for dating nicole richie and almost dying in a plane crash

  • Is this really the manufacturer’s fault? Seems like he’s just angrily suing whomever falls in his line of fire.

  • Is this guy even worth $20 mil? I can’t imagine him missing out on a $10 million paycheck by being out of work for a few months. I think he’s probably able to charge more AFTER the plane crash as people actually know who he is now. Maybe Learjet should sue him for making him famous. What a tool.
