Travis Barker filed a lawsuit against the plane and equipment companies

The plane crash was due to pilot's error and defective equipment. These are the points of the lawsuit filed by Travis Barker and the mother of Barker's bodyguard, Charles "Che" Still, who died in the crash.

It alleges that the pilots "negligently decided to abort" and "The pilots were either poorly trained and/or failed to follow their training. The pilots' decision was a breach of their duty owed to the passengers onboard and was a substantial factor in causing the crash and resultant injuries and deaths."

Also in the lawsuit, the plane was "defective", "It's landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse thrust system, squat switches and component parts were not airworthy."

Barker is suing for "pain and suffering, mental anguish, psychological and emotional distress and disfigurement and pre-impact fear of death and burning." Also include loss of earnings capacity and medical expenses.

Clay Lacy Aviation, Global Executive Aviation, Inter Travel and Services, Goodyear Tire and Rubber and Bombardier Inc are the defendants in this case.
