DJ AM Wants a Cool $20 Mil in Jet Crash

DJ AMWe've just obtained new documents in DJ AM's lawsuit against the company that booked the jet that crashed. The surviving passenger wants $20 million -- minimum.

The way it breaks down, DJ AM wants at least $10 mil in damages for medical bills, lost earnings and profits and other economic damages. And he wants another $10 mil for mental and physical pain and suffering and other "non-economic losses."

64. This is disgusting. I bet the ones who did not survive would be happy to just be given their lives back. I sure hope he comes here and sees these comments to realize what an @$$ he's being.

66. Get a grip people, he can ask for any amount of money he wants.....it doesn't mean he'll actually get it!

He does deserve some form of monetary compensation, if he feels like asking for a HUNDRED million he can do whatever he wants to do. All they can do is say no! LMAO

69. i see room for debate for those who think its extreme and for those who think he's entitled to the money. my question is, how much is for "pain and suffering" and how much is for "lost wages"? because i had no idea who dj am was until his plane crashed and i can't imagine he would have made 20 million (or even close) in the month, or so he was laid up in the hospital..is the bulk of that $20 mil is for pain and suffering?? why is it that he thinks his pain and suffering would be worth more than any of ours? i'm sure it has something to do with sticking it to the company, for the loss of his friends, but come on man... when is enough-enough?

70. Oh, it's not enough to be alive for him?

71. This guy is a joke. He isn't even a celebrity. He probably makes about the same as a well compensated engineer, or i banker racking in at most 300k annual. I dont even think he is worth more than a mill or two (in my opinion). I could possibly be way off. Regardless, he is pathetic.

I would not be outraged, but the fact he is SUING the estates of the dead pilots is plain wrong and disgusting. If anything, this whole incident probably made him more well known. Google dj am, all you get is a bunch of inquiries of him and travis barker in a plane accident with no history on who the fck dj am is or what he has done. He is a nobody.

Everybody should boycott dj am and not buy his records, promote or attend any of his events, or what ever this tool does....

73. Funny sh*t!

Guy is lucky to be alive.

74. Typical self-absorbed greedy morally bankrupt BRAT. It was an ACCIDENT. Saying that the company owes him money because of the crash is saying they intended to kill all those people for the sole purpose of effing up his DJ-ing schedule. He should be thanking God his life was spared, not trying to make a buck off it. Scumbag.
