Travis Barker has filed a lawsuit against the makers of the plane that he was aboard when that tragic accident that took the lives of a couple of his friends and left himself and DJ AM severly burned took place.
Barker has filed a negligance suit against the owners and makers of the leerjet describing it as “defective.”
Barkers suit claims that one or more defective tires were not suitable for taking off or landing, which caused the reason for the jet to run off of the runway, and that the pilot made a “negligent attempt to abort the takeoff.”
The suit also claims that
“The pilot’s decision was a breach of their duty owed to the passengers onboard and was a substantial factor in causing the crash and resultant injuries and deaths.”
Moreover, the jet’s “landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse thrust system, squat switches and component parts were not airworthy.”
Barker and the mother of one of the victims are seeking $25,000 in damages, and according to experts they do have a case here.
I usually hate when people are sue-happy, however in this case I believe that Travis would do the right thing and donate to the families of those who were lost in the crash.
