It was gonna happen eventually.
And away we go!
Odd she would claim being shot in armpit. Then article says breast tissue, rib and liver?
When I read stories like this the image of Walter Mattau playing the lawyer in “The Fortune Cookie” springs to mind.
I’m gonna git me a new car outta this!
Huge, probably insurmountable legal uphill battle:
1) Prove that, but for MBs response, plaintiff would not have been injured
2) Prove that MB has a legal duty beyond normal security measures to stop an incident like this
3) Prove MB response was outside industry norms
That is off the top of my head. LV hotel lawyers are like Disney lawyers. They are the sharks that the rest of the sharks are scared to death of.
This is a flyer of a suit in the hopes the hotel will settle to make them go away. In the next month or so you will see everyone for a 1 square mile area sued, including other festival-goers who have a few bucks, the performers, the managers, the roadies, the fence makers, the people who make the coolers that were used to keep beer cold, the vendors, , people gambling downstairs, all the people who were on that floor, everyone.
It is the American way.
None of these plaintiffs would want me on the jury.
This is the first time this has ever happened in the US. NObody was looking for it. It is a DB Cooper moment.
Money-mad lawyers trying to get money from those who were not responsible for the crime.
That six minutes of inaction will cost MGM a minimum of $10mil for each of the dead, and $2mil for each of the wounded.
It will be one of the largest lawsuits in US history.
I don’t see how the guy wins.
You can’t prevent every nut-job from doing what nut-jobs do.
Even if you add six minutes to the timeline from the guard wounding to the end of eleven minutes of shooting, how do you get a team in place, and prevent him from carrying out his intended goal?
This should be laughed out of court.
I do not think the hotel acted negligently.
That took longer than I thought it would!
I saw a recent photo of Las Vegas.
At first, I thought a huge flock of buzzards were circling some road kill.
Then, I looked closely. It wasn’t really a flock of rotting flesh, carrion eating scavengers -
It was the first flock of lawyers......
