DJ Adam is now suing everyone involved in his and Travis Barker’s plane crash. Travis Barker has a big lawsuit out against everyone he thinks was involved in the crash, so why shouldn’t Adam too?  It’s not like other people suffered in the crash…read sarcasm there.

I think Travis’ lawsuit was over the top and so is Adam’s.  Per Dlisted, this is who he is suing:

DJ AM and Travis Barker are recovering just swimmingly after surviving the fatal jet crash that claimed 4 lives last Friday. Although both Adam Goldstein (DJ AM) and Travis Barker are being treated for second and third-degree burns, both will make full recoveries in the coming weeks. A fate Lt. Jason Shumpert of the South Congaree Police Department said was “divine intervention” adding the the two ”should be commended for being able to get out and keep their heads together.”
