Presenting “Astroworld: Countdown to Tragedy” is KPRC 2 Investigates. The lawsuit names Live Nation, ScoreMore, Apple, ASM Global Parent, Inc., Travis Scott, Drake, and other individuals as defendants.
According to the lawsuit, the defendants disregarded safety regulations pertaining to crowd management and security preparation even though they were aware of the risks.
“Defendants did not execute the aforementioned criteria with reasonable care, and in certain cases, they did not complete these crucial safety activities at all. The case claims that the defendants disregarded all warning indications and disregarded a number of industry, governmental, and/or common sense safety regulations.
According to the case, the plaintiffs’ goal is to persuade the judge and jury that the defendants’ actions amounted to willful negligence. “Defendants deliberately, recklessly, and willfully failed to organize, staff, manage, operate, and oversee this event, putting attendees in grave danger, but they chose to ignore this fact. Plaintiffs’ injuries were directly caused by the defendants’ egregious negligence, and as a result, exemplary damages ought to be granted against them, the case claims.
