Nov 24 2008Travis Barker on lawsuit: 'If something goes wrong... you should be compensated.'

For fucks sake Barker you fuckwit.., be thankful you're alive.

Bloody Amercians are so goddam litigious. Just HTFU get over it and get on with it.

And if you need $$$$, make another shitty album you twat.

Oh man, if he doesn't win, he's cooked.

Oh, maybe I should have worded that better.....

.

He is in the state of ugliness.

This guy ALMOST LOST HIS LIFE, and was damn lucky he didn't! He will never be these because of the LIFE-THREATENING injuries he sustained in the crash. I work in the law/case management field and see all sorts of ridiculous lawsuits. This is NOT one of them. The plane was defective and/or it was major pilot error. Barker deserves all that he can get from these guys.

Message to airlines;

LEAVE NO SURVIVORS!

stfu lawyer douche. kill yourself.

Duh, if you work in the "case management" field - is that code for "Ambulance Chaser"? - you would know several things. One recovery is based on two things, the nature of the wrong and less apropriately but still none the less equally valid, the nature of the victim.

First, very little has been reported about the nature of this plane crash. If the pilot was drunk, sure he deserves to recover. But generally speaking, short of that, you need some severe pilot error and a proof of negligence (the reasonable pilot wouldn't have done the same thing) and from all accounts we don't have that. Travis was almost correct in his quote... "if something goes wrong that's not supposed to go wrong [AND] you fall victim of it [due to the negligence or intentional misconduct of another], I think you should be compensated."

Travis Barker is proving he is a tool, and trowing the second factor out the window in the media. If he was smart, he'd just make a record about it if he wanted the money - suing airlines and pilot's insurance companies is not a smart idea. Surprise! They have some of the top legal teams available.

#7 - Oooh, owie my feelers are sooooo hurted. And I never said I'm a lawyer. Learn to read, dumbass.

9 - oh so sorry. aspiring lawyer douche performing menial tasks until night school pays off and you can officially be a blood-sucking ambulance chaser was too long to write the first time.

Only an idiot would think his lawsuit was just about money!!!

shit happens, can't sue someone everytime something bad happens

Unless there was proof of negligence this guy is out of luck. People in the country are so sue happy. It's called an accident. If I could, I'd sue Travis for being the accidental excuse of a human being that he is.

he should be suing his mom for the botched abortion.

Sweet sentiment on the T shirt...says it all.

Travis, buddy, come on. Your christkilling kikefriend DJ AM, a.k.a. Bernie Burnstein, didn't sue, even though he's genetically related to 99% of all lawyers in the country. That's all you needed to know.

A$$hole.
Accidents happen and you SURVIVED A FUCKING PLANE CRASH.

Isn't that thank you enough - move on.

He got on a plane with a woman pilot. Hadn't he ever been in a car with woman driver? What did he expect?

I guess selling your soul to MTV isn't as profitable as it once was. Either that or selling your soul to MTV entails being/becoming a total fuckwit and no money will ever seem enough... Eat shit and kill yourself, Travis.

If he wins. perhaps he will invest in some DENTURES. That meth mouth of his is fukked-up!

"My career is over and I'm a giant douchebag. Give me money!"

He always looked like someone just shoved a cock up his ass.

I definitely think he should be compensated.

I guess he'll be travelling the world by bus from now on. This guy just became too much of a liability for any private jet operator, or indeed any commercial airline.

What a great symbol of exactly what's fucked up and wrong with most people. Something terrible and unfortunate happened to me and others so I deserve a lot of money. Not everything in life is perfect. His case may have merit, or it may not, but the fact that he thinks that you should be compensated when something goes wrong causes me to lose all respect for him. Just because other assholes get a way with it does not mean its OK. Too bad he's a parent...his contribution to the genetic pool should not have happened.

What a fucking tool. You guys are right...this country is way too litigious. I am a medical malpractice paralegal and some of the lawsuits people file against doctors are just mindblowingly retarded. Travis Barker will never get his day in court because the owners of the airline will settle the case for an undisclosed amount. If he was smart he would give any settlement money to charity to make him look less douche-like.

If the motherfucker is so hurt ,
how come his ass is at EVERY SINGLE PARTY AND GALA?
Seems to me if you are suffering from third degree burns and going through all this fuckin pain , your ass would be in the fuckin house, in the bed ,poppin pain pills...or morphine...I'm just sayin

the only reason he is suing is because his dong probably got fried off. which, im sure still isn't as bad as sticking it in paris hilton was.

fuck him and his shitty pop band. When bands are done they should GO AWAY.

What the hell does his shirt say? i cant read that fucked up writing.

Travis Barker, you're a fucktard. Tires blow out all the time. Its an act of God idiot. The tire company didnt purposely make the tire blow. Maybe a nail got wedged in it for all you know. Shit happens. You survived a damn plane crash. Be thankful you're alive. As for the lawsuit, are you fucking serious? You have a shitload of money already. Giving you another shitload of money isnt going to bring your friends back jackoff.

Barker's right..."if something goes wrong, you should be compensated."

Travis, your last two albums went horribly wrong...I want to be compensated for cerebral damage from listening to it.

@18 - hahaAHAHAHAHAAH...so true. can't believe nobody else caught that.

and to ambulance chasers and sue-happy fuckwads like travis - go fuck yourselves. you're the problem in this country. people like you. so please...go FUCK YOURSELVES.

accidents happen fuckholes. go sue god. after you fuck yourselves.

Poor bastard in both senses of the word. Poor because he has no money to pay for his cheating girlfriend. and poor because hes a fucking shitbag. Try getting a job you fucking weasel.

What a whiny little bitch. He should be thankful that he is alive. The pilot that he is blaming the crash on is dead. Yeah, I'm sure she meant for it to turn out that way...

This is one of the many things that is wrong with Americans, they're fucking sue happy. Most people look at a tragedy as a way to cash in, nowadays. Sick fucks.

Your a piece of trash Barker.
Your group was a joke. Youre a tatoo-ed poser. You tried to squeeze the pathetic amount of fame you had with a white trash reality tv show. You've exhausted every bad cliche in the book.
Now you've taken any good karma you ever had and fried it up, with a f*cking lawsuit. Congradulations megadouche.

Here's the quote about the lawsuit:
Per court documents filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Barker's camp believes that "one or more of the tires failed, leaving tire debris and portions of airplane components along the 8,600 foot runway" and the pilot made a "negligent attempt to abort the takeoff."
"The pilot's 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," the suit continues.
Moreover, the jet's "landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse thrust system, squat switches and component parts were not airworthy."
*********************************************************************************************

I'm a pilot, although rotary wing rated. It doesn't matter, however, what type of aircraft you are licensed to fly. You, as a pilot have the ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY for decisions on operation of the aircraft. This is an FAA rule.

The notion that the pilots were 'negligent' is ridiculous. If you are at rotation (that means take-off) speed and a tire blows on your airplane, you have SECONDS to decide to abort or take-off. In this case, taking off would mean having to land with defective landing gear, whether you burned off fuel or not. THAT would not be the best decision. You would certainly crash on landing, because the damaged gear would likely collapse, resulting in the wing dropping to the ground, and probably a rollover or flipover. Anyone aboard would probably be dead, even without a fire.

It's better to abort take-off, stand on the brakes, and hope you don't run out of runway. Unfortunately, the runway length was the problem.

The pilot and co-pilot are dead. Let's give them respect for the hours of training they had to go through to qualify to fly. And also their dedication to the safety of their passengers. I understand the pilot had a stellar record (per the FAA database) and the fact she is/was female has no bearing on her qualifications to fly.

A nurse I know in Irvine, knew the pilot and flew with her on several occasions. She says the pilot was very thorough, cautious and meticulous in her flight planning and was a very safe pilot.

May she (and the others) rest in peace. Dying in a fire is a horrible way to go.

Just my two cents....

#18. As a woman I have to agree with you, maybe that makes me a traitor to my gender and shit, but I just would feel way more comftorable with a male pilot. I watched a documentary with my husband about the training of fighter pilots and in the group of young rookies there was only one woman and she ended up leaving and hey she was really talented, but she wasn't cut out for it. Males and females simply do, genrally speaking, have different talents and abilities and are more suited to different things. That's not sexist and I'm sure there are some great female pilots, but since humans aren't meant to fly I'd rather have one of the many male pilots who make up the majority fly any plane I was in. Men handle emotion differently and I think that is what makes them more suited to jobs like this. As a woman I know myself and have complete respect for myself and I would never want to be a man I love being a woman, but when it comes to jobs that involve danger, risk and heavy shit get me a man. Sorry ladies, but I just feel safer that way.

okay let loose with the kitchen jokes...

P.S. My husband and I are both amazing cook's and yes I think most women let themselves go after marriage are way too bossy and whiny and most look best with longer hair. I also think men are completely hopeless without us and that together we make a good team and balance each other. So call me sexist, but I prefer male firefighters and male police officers and pilos or at the very least lesbians doing those jobs, tough lesbians not skanks like that tila tequila imagine that thing flying a plane yes we would all be goners. I've known a lot of women and I would not want ONE of them flying a plane I was in. Why is that such a bad thing?

Douche bags like him are why people don't want to be pilots or doctors or hell, even teachers anymore. If ANYTHING goes wrong you're going to get sued. You know what? Sometimes planes crash. Sometimes people die in the hospital. Shit happens. Even if god forbid he had died, no one intentionally neglected something so that they plane would burst into flames. I'm sure the pilots didn't know this would happen but still went ahead and tried to take off, because hell, dying sure is easier than having to wait for the plane to be serviced.

P.S. He is a revolting douchebag and this suit is sickening.

Oh, and as far as this statement:

Moreover, the jet's "landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse thrust system, squat switches and component parts were not airworthy."

This is some ignorant lawyer's contention, carefully worded to put in the lawsuit. You can bet he didn't ACTUALLY check the plane's maintenance records through the company that leased the plane and was responsible for its maintenance. And he probably has NO IDEA what "squat switches" are!

I'm sure that will all come out in court.

You should be f-ing happy you're alive- people died in that accident. If he does win money, he should donate ALL of IT to a burn center in a hospital.

hahaha! You guys are so funny! He is a douchenozzle. What an ungrateful bastard. He's just pissed because his bitch is skanking around on him, cuz he's all outta cash. Wah Wah Wah

Figures. The most useless people are always the most likely to sue. No value added parasites.

#37: I don't believe you're a woman.

#43. Why is that so hard to believe, I can write paragraphs about what idiots men are. I find men and women equally annoying and useless, but in different ways, my husband and I are exceptions to this idocy, but most people are the examples of it. Why is it so hard to believe that as a woman I would feel safer with a man flying a plane I was in? I happen to feel safer with female doctors. It is what it is. Are you a woman and did what I write piss you off? Sorry, but name one woman you know in your life who you'd be happy to have flying a plane you're in. Maybe I just knew a lot of useless idiot girls, but then again I've known a lot of shit for brains idiot men, but I can at least name a few who would be good safe pilots. I see the sexism in the world, but I call men's bluff on it, I can make a man cry and drop his pants, drool and roll over in a second, men need women and women need men, but that doesn't mean there aren't differences between the two that go beyond genetalia and body hair.

I "chase ambulances" for a living. Insurance companies are scum. All you people that claim this is just an accident and that him suing is a joke have probably never been the victims of a defective product or someone elses negligence. Its kind of like someone being an opponent of capital punishment until their loved one dies.

I think Travis is the biggest douche bag on the planet, but his lawsuit has merit and he will be paid quite a bit of money to settle. Where are all you self righteous assholes when your family member gets hurt in a car wreck that was just an "accident" or when a doctor makes a mistake. The media never reports the day to day stuff and the bs pulled by ins companies.

I sleep great at night.

P.S. That's a complement to me because of the stereotypes people have about women.

Go ahead ask me a question to prove that I am a woman?

Are you guys crazy???? He should be able to get compensated for his pain and suffering. There are a lot of frivilous lawsuits, but clearly this isn't one of them. You get on a plane, not to crash but to reach your destination safely. You're compensated if you give up your seat on a full plane, so why not if get compensated if you're nearly killed?

# 37. That is the stupidest pile of crap I've ever heard. As a person who has extensively studied gender differences and gender bias I am pretty confident in saying you are the sad product of a society based on hegemonic masculinity. You don't need to get slammed, you need to get educated.

I have to say that #37 does make some pretty good points. She's saying what you all think and feel but are scared to say. It's ok, men and women don't have to be equal in every field. You wouldn't expect a woman to physically lift the same weight as a man would you?

It's the wording against the pilots that disgusts a lot of us, clearly Bitcher didn't write it (the dude can barely express himself), but he went ahead with it. It's just sick to see someone who has SO MUCH compassion and empathy for himself, but so little for the pilots and their families. I have said it a million times and I will say it again the man has learnt NOTHING.

Friends play an important part in our life. I find many nice friends at the millionaire & celebrity dating club ^^^^^^MillionaireLoving. C O M^^^^^^. They are honest and humorous. It is a nice site. Hope you can find more wealthy friends there.

He should have burned up completely in the fire then he wouldn't be asking for a lawsuit. How ridiculous. He should be happy to be alive.

Holy SHIT! I just thought of something! Next time you are at one of his concerts, and "something goes wrong... you should be compensated.' What a GREAT IDEA!!

What a suit-happy little bitch.

May every employee they ever have slip and fall.

So - by your description if you screw up while drumming and I'm listening to it, I can sue you. Great!

My friend recommended me a very interesting and HOT place ☆☆☆INTERRACIALLOVING.COM☆☆☆ where many fans are together, also I’ve meet kinds of black and white singles who are hunger for true love online.

An terrible accident, yes, but his attitude is this: I should get money whenever something bad happens to me. That's just life.

Travis Barker....You are a scumbag. Forget the people who actually lost their lives. Just find a way for you to come out ahead.
White trash piece of shit. I hope you choke on your bong.

P.S.
Even though I'm mad, I still LOVE KIDS!!!

#44: Yeah, I don't really care whether you're a man, woman, or she-male.

#48: Don't bother, some people can't be educated. They live in a state of delusion. They have nothing else going for them and snatching that from them would be cruel. Look at this idiot's comment about how 'me and my husband are exceptions, blah, blah, blah...I can make a man cry, blah, blah, blah" What kind of tool even says things like that? BTW, I'll wager #49 is the spouse of this tool and together they maintain some unholy union based on mutual guilt because one of them cheated on the other and rather than admit to what it is, they have to form some bizarre self-aggrandizing world view based on it. This is the mutual delusion that keeps this particular amalgamated beast alive.

Back to the point, Travis Barker is a flaming piece of white trash and I hope his urethra got seared shut in that plane crash so he can't continue to propagate his mongoloidal offspring on an already stressed planet.

Next on People's court: Travis Barker vs. human religion(s) and the laws of physics....

What a fuckin hothead.

Hey 37, kill yourself, thanks. You are way too stupid to be alive and while you're at it, kill any kids you may have, those genetics should NOT live on. I'm sure you've known a lot of women who you wouldn't want flying a plane, that's why they're not pilots genius. Though I'm sure your social circle is limited to the two-bit "beauty salon" in your shit town where a person is lucky to find someone with a high school education. Please don't talk again.

I'd be interested to see if there is a case there or not. I'm sure Barker has a lot of people pushing him to sue. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say "You should sue" because the person got bumped by another car. No damages, no real injuries but clearly they should sue right? Then again, maybe he has a legitimate complaint. Or he's pissed off because he was on fire and he's going through grieving processes and this is part of it, anger and blame towards the pilot, the aircraft, etc. I'm sure I wouldn't be talking about sunshine and roses if I had been on fire a few short months ago.

Typical JEW

with other words: HE NEEDS MORE THAN ONLY FOOD: $$$$$$$$!!

What a total fucktard. "I can't go swimming..." there's an answer for those days, princess: wear a tampon. In your vagina.

#37 - you can go fuck yourself as well, you vapid flower sniffin bitch

Why does this guy always take such stare down intense pictures? Ever seen every picture of this idiot? Never smiles, always staring.

He makes us San Diegans look like dicks. Would love to get in a fight with another pussy covered in tattoos.

Ever notice all the MMA guys with tats get destroyed in the ring? Why? Because they constantly doubt themselves, and get tats for outward acceptance.

Fools

are you people kidding me? you wouldn't sue the companies after a plane crash you were in? the guy was on fucking FIRE!

the funny think about this is you guys think because youre reading this that youre less human than he is. he's doing the exact same thing any one of you people would, the only thing different is he has a real job and some money so he could probably afford it himself, but should he be denied any of the same rights and compensations that i know sure as shit all youre little asses would be crying about for weeks?

and news flash, these airlines and insurance companies do NOT have the top lawyers. yes they have a legal time so it will most likely cost them little to nothing other than normal, but they are not going to win the suit.

i feel bad reading this website because of all the fucking morons who read it too.

Karma...a plane crashes into the motel where Travis doucheBarker, his poodle Liberace and A-Rod are secretly having a threesome. Everyone on the plane survives and so does Liberace who will undergo counseling and therapy for the abuse Barker put him through. Fortunately, Barker and A-Rod do not survive.

We should be so lucky!!!

Looks like a skinny pencilneck on that boy. He should be glad it didn't snap. He's not exactly a physically strong person, ya know. In fact he happens to be a pansy-ass. Pencilneck geek!

probably has a pencildick too. just saying.

jonny cupcakes

LMAO - what a fukin moron! he/she/it even admits it!

"i feel bad reading this website because of all the fucking morons who read it too."

Thanks for pointing that out and admitting that you're a moron.

God is disowning you, and the devil...is treating you like a tool.

Suing....and adding to your greed...isnt going to help...barker.

Goodluck barker.

What happen was tragic and horrific. The pilots had to make a decision within only a few seconds. It was an accident. But how/why should the family of the dead pilots compensate the survivors? Shouldn't he be suing the airline? Also isn't there insurance for this sort of thing? This is wrong.

actually, he DOESN'T deserve 'compensation'.
Compensation is necessary because NON RICH PEOPLE who are injured cannot work afterwards and can barely make a living or pay for their treatment.

This is nothing more than greed and the idiotic American mindset of me, me, me, even when they are filthy rich.

By all means sue for CHANGES in the company, for them to be held CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE but not for bullshit reasons which are just a way to say, "i'm going to try to milk this and get some free cash".
The publicists must have been working overtime because none of them look seriously injured to me and getting out of hospital so soon with barely any scars suggests they milked it even in the press.
They are pathetic. Most people who survive things like this (excuse the pun) are brought down to earth and stop being driven by things like greed and showing off. Not them apparently.

Not to mention how LOW it is to sue the families of the DEAD PEOPLE (which is not clear from the fish article but I read on a news site.) The pilots imo did act wrongly, because apparently the correct thing to do is take off and try to land..somewhat controlled, hopefully with foam and shit on the ground.. depending on what facilities they were near. Not abandon the take off which just fucks everything up since you're in the middle of doing something and try to suddenly stop. Not gonna work. However, the pilots are dead so they can't be held accountable. He should file this under "shit happens".
or "I am more than lucky enough considering I am not only rich famous and don't actually have to work, but have a job I love, a model for a wife, god knows how many good friends, children I apparently adore, parties every day if I want, holidays any time, any chick I want, any jewelery I want, any house etc, AND I survived a plane crash which killed others."

Nahh, I think i'll complain about how unfair life is
because (I claim) I can't swim (even though if it is true it is probably just restricted limb movement which will improve with physical therapy)

this guy should have fucking died on this plane for all i care. How much of a fucking douche do you have to be to have a good amount of money then resort to suing the estates of the dead pilots
