LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A celebrity disc jockey who survived a fiery Learjet

crash in South Carolina has sued several companies and the estates of

the plane's pilots.

Adam Goldstein, known as DJ AM, filed his complaint for negligence and

breach of contract Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. Goldstein and

punk rocker Travis Barker, who has also sued the companies, were the

sole survivors of the Sept. 19 crash.

Both men were seriously burned in the crash.

Goldstein's lawsuit seeks a jury trial, but doesn't specify how much money

he hopes to receive for loss of earnings, medical expenses, pain and

suffering and other damages.

He is also suing the estates of the plane's pilots, Sarah Lemmon, and James Bland.

A phone number for Lemmon's mother couldn't be located, and Bland's wife declined to

comment Wednesday.
