(Trends Wide) — A lawsuit was filed after the Astroworld Festival tragedy that left eight people dead and dozens injured in Houston on Friday night.
An injured concert goer is suing rapper and producer Travis Scott, who was the organizer of the Astroworld Festival, as well as entertainment company Live Nation, concert promoter Scoremore and others involved in the event, according to the lawsuit obtained. by Trends Wide.
Manuel Souza, who is being represented by the Kherkher Garcia law firm, “suffered serious bodily injury when the uncontrolled crowd at the concert threw him to the ground and stomped on him,” according to the lawsuit filed in Harris County, Texas.
“The defendants did not properly plan or carry out the concert in a safe manner,” the lawsuit continues.
“Instead, they knowingly ignored the extreme risks of harm to concert goers and, in some cases, actively encouraged and encouraged dangerous behavior. Their gross negligence caused serious injury to the plaintiff.”
A jury trial is preferred to determine the exact amount of damages, according to the lawsuit, but Souza is seeking “monetary compensation of more than $ 1,000,000.”
Trends Wide has reached out to Scott, Live Nation and Scoremore for comment on the lawsuit.
