It's DJ AM's Turn To Sue

Just another nobody, nothing from LA who thinks he is worth something!

DJ am? Another of those stupid record players who think they have an important or valuable job. Future earnings? HA. What's a $1.72 for about 15 hours a week for a couple of years? THAT'S what he is worth!

who knew this idiot would look so inbred? nice ears dj am

I'm having a sucky Christmas this year for a number of reasons (missing my dead grandmother, stepson is being an asshole, etc.) and this is just the last thing I need to read. I hate people now.

Of course they aborted the takeoff when a tire blew. If they had gone ahead with the takeoff, how were they supposed to land with a blown tire????? They aborted the takeoff to save lives. Sadly, both of the pilots lost their lives anyway. And now DJ Douche wants to ruin the lives of the pilots' families even more by sueing them????I've always thought DJ AM was a piece of fuck. Now I know he's actually a piece of fuck wrapped in a moron taco with a big douche hanging off of it!

What a piece of shit this douchebag is. These people are dead, and they died flying HIS rich ass around. Maybe if he wasn't too good to use a regular old airplane they wouldn't have died. I guess I don't know the whole story, but seriously, these people had families who i'm sure are devastated, so he wants to just throw a lawsuit on top of that? He's a lucky bastard, not just for surviving the crash, but also for even becoming "famous" in the first place. C'mon, he's a talentless dj whose claim to fame is dating Nicole Richie and Mandy Moore. Pretty sure god took the wrong people in that crash.

Wow that was a good rant, I feel better now. lol.

THIS ASSHOLE DRIVES AROUND LA IN HIS STUPID FERRARI AND IS CRYING ABOUT LOST WAGES?!?! ARE YOU F-CKING KIDDING ME? THOSE PEOPLE DIED YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT, AND YOU'RE STILL HERE PLUGGING IN YOUR LAPTOP PLAYING OTHER PEOPLE'S MUSIC, PRETENDING LIKE YOU'RE SOME GREAT "MUSICIAN" (DJ Shadow you're not) MAKING MONEY TONS OF MONEY BECAUSE YOU ONCE GOT "LUCKY" AND DATED NICOLE RICHIE A 100 YEARS AGO.

Sorry for the Kanye moment.

"Damn. I can understand suing companies and shit, but suing the estates of the pilots? I wonder if the pilots left behind any kids that need food, clothes and a roof over their heads. It seems a little extreme to try to fuck with the families, but I don't know the details and shit, so I will leave it at that."

YES.

"I'm sure pilots have to have some major insurance, so it is very unlikely that money will be paid out of pocket. I work for a personal injury attorney, and suing for pain, suffering, lost earnings, property damage, punitive damages and past and future health-related expenses is pretty much standard. This happens all the time, and people need to realize that DJ AM is a victim here, too."

A VICTIM?? Fuck you, you dumb fucking "what my ambulance chaser boss says must be true, yessum massah" motherfucker. He is alive, walked away, and seems to care less that the father of a living being, who he claimed as a friend is DEAD. Yeah, sue the Insurance Company. You shortsighted, retarded fuckholes. 'Cause us living, breathing normal assholes don't pay when they do, right??? MORON.

I'm sure pilots have to have some major insurance, so it is very unlikely that money will be paid out of pocket. I work for a personal injury attorney, and suing for pain, suffering, lost earnings, property damage, punitive damages and past and future health-related expenses is pretty much standard. This happens all the time, and people need to realize that DJ AM is a victim here, too. He has been through a lot, and he deserves compensation. Again, the insurance company will be paying, not the family. Yes, there are rare exceptions, but this is likely not one of them.

He and Travis Barker should both just be happy to be alive and relatively well...both the pilot and co-pilot lost their lives, as did the other passengers on the plane. Even if the crash was a result of pilot error, these two dumb fucks have probably got more money than the pilots' families have.
To think I actually felt for these two after the crash and was happy to hear they were recovering...they really are a waste of space.

I have absolutely zero-sympathy for him after reading that article. Going after companies is one thing, but the families of the DEAD pilots? What a fucking asshole. Those families lost their loved ones too, and they don't have millions of dollars to fall back on like AM and Barker. What a complete grinch and douchebag.

Poor girl didn't have any help driving and I don't know how far she had to drive but I'm in GA and for me at 29, it's getting to be where if I drive to Orlando I would fall asleep without help. So, If i was alone which I never am, I would have to stop. That's so wrong in that case, the other people were drunk and it should have been said that they were partially at fault for not helping her drive all that way...they were irresponsible and got drunk.

wow, that sucks about the SUV story....

I had a co-worker who had a teenage daughter that drove a SUV of her friends to Orlando

That sucks. Mom would be in the hole even with tons of insurance. She can wipe out the debt in bankruptcy--sounds like her credit's in the tank already. The dead daughter may have been sober, but she fell asleep driving and killed people. Happy thoughts, eh?

Oh and Merry Xmas to you, EvilShoe!!

You don't generally sue the families in this case. It's the insurance companies that are being sued. Only if he asks for/is awarded more than policy limits will the family be affected, and that's rare.

Doesn't it say he is suing the dead pilots estates and not the family?

I had a co-worker who had a teenage daughter that drove a SUV of her friends to Orlando, when they drove back everyone was shit faced but her - not one drop. She drove, and fell asleep at the wheel and crashed on I-4 here. My co-workers daughter died, two passengers died and two lived. All of them sued her mom who lived in a trailer with a small son and the insurance only paid out like 10K. She owes millions to the families. She didn't even have money to get a gravestone for her daughter, her daughters employer (a dentist) bought one like a year after she died.

DJ AM AND TRAVIS BARKER ARE JUST A C0UPLE OF MOTHERFUCKING CUNTS! YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL YOU'RE FUCKING ALIVE AND THAT YOUR CHILDREN DON'T HAVE TO FUCKING VISIT THE FUCKING CEMENTERY IN ORDER TO FUCKING SEE YOUR SORRY DEAD ASS! IT WAS A MOTHERFUCKING ACCIDENT! WHY DON'T YOU USE YOUR FUCKING MONEY TO FUCKING HELP THE FAMILIES OF YOUR DEAD FRIENDS INSTEAD OF SPENDING IT ON MOTHERFUCKING LAWYERS!!! FUCKEHEADS LIKE THESE TWO MAKE ME SO FUCKING ANGRY!

_______________________________________________
Let me dirty up your mind.

It's just like suing a DR that delivered your baby when your kid is like 12 and has some kind of condition and the DR isn't responsible for it. People do that crap too...I don't know how but they do. Well they are different situations but both ridiculous.

Like I said, considering anyone is alive and the pilots are dead, the pilots put the people first, they are supposed to and they did their job I think so this lawsuit shouldn't even be a go. DJ AM and whoever else suing the pilots I guess don't have a guilty conscience. They need to read up on what pilots go through with training and stuff.

Wow how much of an ass can you be to sue dead people? I mean I'm sure the pilots weren't thinking "hey our tire blew out and we have two d-list celebs in the back let abort takeoff and hope we crash and they die". That had to have been a hard decision for them to make. I know they should be trained and blah blah but they are DEAD! He should be lucky he is alive and counting his blessings instead of suing people. But then again that's the American way isn't it? Travis didn't sue the gamily so why is this tool? He has asshole written all over him anyway. It was an ACCIDENT! That's why they have that word. Because things just happen. Have they even concluded that is was the tire? I haven't read anything that states what the official cause was.

You don't generally sue the families in this case. It's the insurance companies that are being sued. Only if he asks for/is awarded more than policy limits will the family be affected, and that's rare.

What an asshole.

I'll translate: suing the death pilots states pretty much means that his junk got broiled, probably has to pee through a plastic tube and will never have awkward sexy times again.

If he never procreates, I think we as a people owe him a key to some obscure city.

Actually, I think it's a fell swoop sort of suit. this way the insurance company can't drag it out by blaming pilot neg etc. It's pretty much a 'I want my money and I want it now" sort of move.

Hey pilots families..Merry Christmas! I know you just lost someone very close to you that you loved and all...but DJ AM is taking a stand!

..such an asshole.

...and if today was opposite day:

"Pilots sue the estate of DJ AM. Claim that his weight in the back of the plane made it difficult for them to escape before the flames engulfed the aircraft"

He's a douchebag. His ambulance chasing attorneys are no better, but at least they have enough sense to keep their names in the article, not the headline.

I'll translate: suing the death pilots states pretty much means that his junk got broiled, probably has to pee through a plastic tube and will never have awkward sexy times again.

Justified rage or not, this eunuch douche is probably taking it out on whoever he can (dead or alive) and will probably do it for a loooong sad time.

I think he should also sue the pilots' mothers for giving birth to them...Oh, and their fathers for impregnating their mothers with them...

The stupid douchebag jerk IS sue-happy (I just read the article that was linked and I am fuming!) It's friggin' Xmas for chrissakes, what is wrong with him?! Is he not making enough money with his stupid DJ career so he has to sue people for dumb shit like an article coming out about his break-up with Nicole that is nearly 3 years old?! This dude is totally greedy and pathetic. I'm boycotting his DJ shows and will NEVER see him spin (like it's any good anyway!)

http://ginarivera.typepad.com/ginasrant/

Whats up with people wanting to sue over every damn thing, "You hurt my feeling, Im suing!" Shit, whats next?! And I think the same thing, thats really heartless and fucking greedy to sue the estates of the pilots.

Madam Pince, I agree with you. The pilots were doing their best. Their families are missing loved ones this holiday too. If someone is flying a plane while drunk or high, then I can see going after them. But that was not the case.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I apologize in advance for my rant. I'm just really pissed off.

Pilots, in general, take the safety of their passengers & crew very seriously, as well as those below their flight path. Al Haynes, who along with his crew crash-landed a DC-10 in an Iowa cornfield in 1989 after the plane's hydraulics failed, was credited with saving the lives of 185 passengers, although he never forgot the 112 who died in the crash. He was recorded on the plane's black box as telling air traffic controllers to keep the plane away from Sioux City. Several survivors were so grateful to Haynes that, in tribute, they flew on his retirement flight in 1991.

The only Concorde to crash, Air France Flight 4590, blew a tire & caught fire as it was taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in 2000. Although the plane ultimately crashed into a nearby hotel, the crew was trying to divert to a nearby airport for landing (which was later judged impossible given the damage) and were seen by those under its flight path fighting to keep the plane from crashing in a populated area.

Not to mention the 9/11 pilots who keyed their mikes on so air traffic controllers could hear the hijackers, even though they knew they were headed for their own deaths.

Shit happens. The pilots made an impossible decision. Barker & AM survived. Go on with the lives you're supposed grateful for and leave the families to grieve without being sued.

End of rant.

I dunno but maybe. I bet their years of training caused them to think as follows: SHIT!!!

Cases like this take many months before anyone really has any idea what actually went wrong and what might have been done differently.

Sheeps,

You're right, it could have been a possibility I guess to use a foam path: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_path.
But according to this article, I guess the FAA stopped recommending them back in 1987, due to overshooting the runway and messing with planes breaks. So maybe the pilots thought the likelihood of a foam landing was nil to non-existant?

What an asshole.

How little we understand what touches off that tingle,
That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle. --Mrs. Kravitz

Just to play devil's advocate--I don't think anyone should have sued the pilots--I guess the plaintiffs would argue that, once airborne, the pilots could arrange a foam landing, with fire trucks and rescuers standing by. I know that's plenty risky, too, but most lawsuits are decided in hindsight.

This "sue everybody in sight" mentality pisses me off. First, DJ AM & Travis Barker have more money than those pilots ever did. Second, as MK so wisely pointed out, these two jerks are taking money from kids and widows. I don't care if including the pilots' estates is just a legal ploy -- it's a greedy move.

I'm not a pilot, so I can't speak definitively, but it seems that when the tire blew out, the pilots had nothing but negative options: try to take off or abort. They made the best decision they could -- who knows what would have happened if they'd tried to take off? They might have crashed in a neighborhood and caused even more damage & deaths.

I won't contest that Barker & AM are entitled to lifelong medical care for their injuries, but the other stuff? Suck it up, assholes. I thought y'all were grateful to be alive. Sounds like they're just glad they have access to the American legal system.

The tire blew so they should have taken off and what? Delayed the inevitable when they landed? What the fuck kind of boneheaded reasoning is that? The tire would have miraculously repaired itself mid flight? Why are celebrities so fucking stupid? Forget I even asked that........

*miou*

hmm. What about being grateful for being alive..... God,I hope this story is not true.

What an ass!

I'm suing him for trying to convince people that spinning records takes talent.

He might lose customers, maybe not, but maybe so, for his little DJ business because of this, if any of those Hollywood idiots (not all people who live there just many of the famous ones) have any morals and think about how his suing dead pilots was wrong. They might be calling Sam now lol. Of course I could be totally off, and he may have more customers now since the crash and not lose any since the suit. K i'm done obsessing over him lol seriously cause I have been.

If he has any brains, he has private health insurance that already covers his medical care. He might be out the deductible and that's it. My guess is no punitive damages here--certainly not against the pilots and only against the other defendants if he can show they intentionally operated an unsafe plane.

This guy is an ass, good lawyers or not, obviously he is sue happy, WAY too sue happy with the link just posted about him suing a paper too, you can't tell me he just has bad luck all the time. I think that is his other career, to sue people.

Sheeps I thought that was a joke until I saw the link! GEEZUS!

Sheeps
In a perfect world, he would be paid for all his medical and future medical issues...and for punative get about say $1.98 because that is what he is worth!

Ha! DJ AM is also currently suing the NY Daily News (in Cali) for libel over a story on his breakup with Nicole. I guess suing is a profitable sideline.

http://www.timessquaregossip.com/2008/07/dj-am-files-lawsuit-against-dai...

If he's suing them in CA, it's probably because he has a better case against the aviation firms, etc. if he can proof that their employees were negligent, etc. Most likely the aviation firm will be compelled to pay for the pilots' estate's representation. Further, if he has a good case, then the settlement deal will probably include some kind of release of liability for the pilots' estates. the pilot's family will probably not even be involved and their attorneys will explain this to them anyway. AND the aviation firms have insurance to cover this anyway. It'll never get to court and this is just a legal maneuver. It's a crap situation, but that's how the law works. AM isn't a cold-hearted jerk, he just has good attorneys.

Bottom feeder...no class bastard.

Well, I don't like DJ AM at all, but actually, INS companies always deserve to pay in my opinion. They rack up money all day everyday and anytime they have to pay is good to me. I sound so bitter, but I am bitter against billion dollar companies, most of them. I'm not jealous, I just don't like companies who get so much money everyday , usually they are evil. That's just the way I think.

As mentioned by other posters...any insurance companies among the defendants will likely bear the cost of a settlement.Probably won't even be a trial.
