Las Vegas Shooting Lawsuit Lawyer

Fifty-eight people lost their lives and 546 were injured when a gunman opened fire on attendees of the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas. The gunman fired from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas strip. The shooting lasted at least 10 minutes.
Victims and their families have endured immeasurable trauma, pain, and suffering. Was the shooting preventable? Was there something the hotel or venue could have done to prevent it? Who is responsible for the innocent victims’ losses and expenses? These are some of the questions we are trying to answer for families affected by this tragedy.
Along with our joint venture partners, we represent almost 1,000 families nationwide who were affected by this tragedy. Contact us at 713-850-8600 to learn how we may be able to help you.

Who Qualifies to File a Claim for the Route 91 Harvest Shooting?

Everyone who attended the Route 91 Harvest country music festival on October 1, 2017 may be eligible to file a claim and recover compensation for their losses.

  • Attendees who suffered gunshot wounds.
  • Attendees who sustained physical injuries while trying to flee (e.g., broken bones, sprains, lacerations, etc.).
  • Attendees who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms include insomnia, depression, anxiety, nightmares, and other psychological, physical, and emotional effects.
  • Families of those killed.

Who is Responsible for the Damages Suffered by Victims of the Las Vegas Shooting?

The shooter, Stephen Paddock, may have carried out the attack, but he is not the only party that may be liable for the victims’ damages. How did a hotel guest manage to get 23 firearms into his room without hotel security noticing? Why did the hotel personnel not immediately call the police after Paddock shot a security guard before opening fire on the concertgoers? Why did it take the police over 75 minutes to enter Paddock’s hotel room? Why did the venue not provide adequate exits or properly trained employees to facilitate evacuation once the shooting began?
We are investigating every potential party that may be liable for the mass shooting. This includes:

  • The shooter
  • The Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino
  • The fairgrounds property owner
  • The event organizer for the Route 91 Harvest country music festival
  • The concert promoter, Live Nation

When you are the victim of a senseless tragedy such as the Las Vegas shooting, life will never be the same. Seth Gillihan, psychologist and PTSD researcher, told USA Today: “The country pretty quickly returns to its baseline.” However, “the world [survivors] knew before it happened is profoundly changed. They’re probably going to have a different way of seeing the world, they may have a different way of seeing themselves, they may be critical of themselves for how they reacted during the event.”
