If you were at the Oct. 1, 2017 Route 91 Harvest music festival, you could qualify to participate in a Las Vegas shooting lawsuit.

The shock and horror of living through that day will haunt concertgoers for the rest of their lives. Surrounded by 58 fellow music fans who were shot to death and an additional 546 who were injured, survivors could struggle with post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) and other emotional injuries.

Many survivors have applied to state-run programs that supply monetary support for those who have been victims of a violent crime. The Las Vegas Victims Fund is a non-profit organization designed to manage the distribution of $22 million in donations reportedly raised in the aftermath of the mass shooting.

Unfortunately, several survivors report their claims have been denied because they were told they were “not injured enough.”

Emotional injuries can’t be seen, but they can be just as real and life altering as physical injuries. If you or a loved one are suffering from PTSD or from a physical injury because you were inside the concert gates when the shooting began, you deserve to be compensated for the horror you endured. A lawyer can represent you in a Las Vegas shooting lawsuit and help prove the validity of your injuries.

Las Vegas Shooting Lawsuit to Hold Those Accountable

Hundreds of survivors have filed Las Vegas shooting lawsuits against Mandalay Bay Resort owner MGM Resorts International, Route 91 music festival organizer LiveNation, and the $5 million deceased gunman’s estate.

A Las Vegas shooting lawsuit could help you to hold accountable those who allowed this tragedy to unfold. Venues in Las Vegas and across the country are taking a closer look at their event spaces and safety procedures to ensure nothing like this happens again.

One Las Vegas shooting lawsuit already represents 450 plaintiffs who accuse MGM of allegedly having inadequate security policies and inadequate surveillance of the resort’s premises. Plaintiffs also accuse MGM of not properly training staff and of not responding immediately upon learning security guard Jesus Campos had been shot right outside the gunman’s hotel room.

Plaintiffs say Mandalay Bay was negligent because the resort staff allowed the gunman special access to a service elevator that he used to haul his weapons and ammunition. He was able to secure his weaponry in his hotel room several days before he took aim upon the unsuspecting crowd.

The Las Vegas shooting lawsuit alleges LiveNation failed to provide an adequate number of exits for concertgoers in the event of an emergency such as the shooting and failed to train onsite employees to adequately handle “a foreseeable event, such as a terrorist attack or other emergency.”

Plaintiffs also accuse LiveNation of failing to use its materials at hand, including the loudspeakers and video monitors to broadcast instructions that plaintiffs claim would have assisted in a faster and safer evacuation, potentially reducing the number of injuries that actually occurred in the chaos.

If you’re eligible for a Las Vegas shooting lawsuit, you could recover money for expenses and damages for personal injuries, disability, lost earnings because of missed work, medical expenses, PTSD, funeral expenses, wrongful death, and pain and suffering.
