DJ AM is seeking $20 million in damages relating to a plane crash in South Carolina last year that killed four people and left him injured, the Associated Press reports.

DJ AM , whose real name is Adam Goldstein, is suing the plane's manufacturer, Learjet, and several other companies.

Goldstein is seeking $10 million for medical expenses, lost earnings, profits and economic damages and another $10 million related to mental and physical pain and other "non-economic losses," according to a document filed Friday.

If the case goes to trial, a jury will decide if he will be awarded any damages.

Several of the companies sued last year by Goldstein and fellow crash survivor Travis Barker are seeking a trial delay until after a government investigation of the crash is complete.

"Daily I live with the guilt and grief of what happened that night, what I saw, who was lost and why I was spared," DJ AM has said of the Sept. 19 crash. "I have no words to express the pain that comes with knowing four people died, while I lived."

    Just because he is from Hollywood does not mean he does not deserve the right to sue. He suffered a tramatic event in which it is was not his fault. He may have money but $10 M is a lot of money to cover medical expenses. Hopefully he wins the lawsuit.
