Popular rapper Travis Scott will be facing a $10 billion lawsuit after Attorney Brent Coon announced about his firm filing over 1500 cases on behalf of victims of the Astroworld Festival tragedy at NRG Park on 5th November against the Astroworld organisers.
The Houston based firm has filed over 1500 cases representing a total of 1547 concertgoers according to Brent Coon and Associates. The attorney also stated that in addition to litigating mass tragedies across the country for past 25 years, he is also running a promotion company for over 20 years and is familiar with how events of such scale are supposed to be planned.
Coon said in a statement, “What happened at Astroworld was an unconscionable tragedy and it is important that justice is served for all those impacted.”
“I believe our firm is best suited to help lead this case, not only because of the number of victims who have selected our firm to represent them in this action, but due the fact that we possess the extensive legal experience as demonstrated by our lead counsel work on many plant explosions, product recalls and other mass tort actions.”
Coon’s firm is demaning for legislative action to add mandatory crown control planning specialist for events of such magnitude along with training for event preparation and “criminal liability for any wrongdoing.”
According to the court documents shared by the attorney, Coon and Associates listed 14 defendants in their lawsuit including the Astroworld concert promoter and marketer Live Nation, ScoreMore and Travis Scott.
