Travis Barker, the former drummer for Blink 182, has sued companies linked to the September plane crash in North Carolina which only he and fellow traveler DJ Adam Goldstein survived.

Travis Barker and celebrity DJ Adam Goldstein were the sole survivors of a Sept. 19 plane crash in South Carolina that killed the two pilots, Barker’s assistant, Chris Baker and his bodyguard, Charles Monroe Still Jr.

Barker and Goldstein were both injured, suffering severe burns. They were hospitalized at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors’ Hospital in Augusta, Georgia, where they received treatment for second and third degree burns.

Travis Barker filed a lawsuit Friday against the plane’s owners, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., and an airplane maintenance company, seeking more than $25,000 in damages.

Barker, 33, is seeking damages for pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of earnings, and medical and legal expenses. The mother of his deceased bodyguard joined Barker in the lawsuit, seeking damages for grief and sorrow, funeral expenses and loss of earnings.

The former Blink 182 drummer claims in the court documents the accident occurred because the companies operated and maintained the Learjet in question improperly. Companies sued are owner Global Exec Aviation, a Long Beach, Calif.-based charter company, Goodyear; Toronto-based Bombardier Inc., which the suit claims was responsible for maintaining the aircraft; and two charter firms that brokered the flight, Clay Lacy Aviation Inc. and Inter Travel and Services Inc.

The lawsuit also claims the two pilots, who did not survive, were inadequately trained.

The National Transportation Safety Board is currently investigating the accident. Authorities have said the jet’s crew thought a tire blew during takeoff, according to cockpit recordings. Goodyear spokesman Ed Markey said it was “unfortunate” Barker did not wait for the NTSB’s conclusions before filing a lawsuit.
