Travis Barker sues Goodyear and plane company

Travis Barker has sued Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., as well as an airplane maintenance company. The former are the owners of the plane that crashed in September, critically injuring himself and friend DJ AM, and which took the lives of four others.

Barker is seeking more than $25,000 in damages for pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of earnings, and medical and legal expenses.

Thelma Martin Still, the mother of Barker bodyguard Charles Monroe Still Jr. who was one of the four killed, joined in the suit for damages including grief and sorrow, funeral expenses and loss of earnings.

After the crash, Barker spent some time in the hospital recovering from severe burns.
