DJ AM has filed a lawsuit after escaping death in a plane crash.
The 35-year-old musician - who suffered second and third-degree burns from the incident in September - has blamed the pilots and faulty equipment for the crash which killed four people.
DJ AM’s lawsuit, which was filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday (23.12.08), alleges: "The pilots were either poorly trained and/or failed to follow their training.'
Pilots Sarah Lemmon, 31, and James Bland, 52 - who both died in the crash - have been named in the court case.
The star - real name Adam Goldstein - also claims the plane was "defective, not fit for its intended purposes and unreasonably dangerous".
DJ AM is the final passenger who was on board the Learjet to seek legal action.
Travis Barker - who also suffered serious burns in the tragic accident - and the mother of bodyguard Charles Still, who died in the crash, have previously filed separate lawsuits.
Travis’ friend Chris Baker was also killed in the incident. His widow has named the pilots’ estates as defendants in her legal case.
Travis and DJ AM were performing a free concert for 10,000 people in Columbia, South Carolina, on the night of the fatal incident.
After the show, the pair boarded a private plane which crashed shortly after takeoff.
