Rocker Travis Barker has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the aviation company he holds responsible for his near-death plane crash in September (2008).
Barker suffered second and third-degree burns as he escaped the burning wreckage of a LearJet, which failed to clear the runway at a South Carolina airport and crashed.
He spent almost a month in hospital burns units recovering.
The drummer's best friend, Charles Still, and an assistant were killed in the tragedy. Barker and bandmate Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein were the only survivors.
Now, the rock star has filed suit against Clay Lacy Aviation, asking for damages for "pain and suffering,mental anguish, psychological and emotional distress and disfigurement," personal injury and wrongful death.
And according to sources Barker is also suing Goodyear Tire and Rubber in connection with the plane crash.
Barker also alleges the plane was "defective," with his lawyers claiming the aircraft's "landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse thrust system, squat switches and component parts were not airworthy."
