Las Vegas shooting: Attorneys file lawsuits on behalf of more than 450 victims
Fox News ^ | November 21 2017 | Associated Press

Attorneys who filed one of the first lawsuits after the Oct. 1 mass shooting that killed 58 concert-goers and left hundreds injured on the Las Vegas Strip filed four new negligence cases Monday on behalf of more than 450 victims.

This time, however, Houston-based lawyers Chad Pinkerton and Mo Aziz filed the cases in Los Angeles against companies including MGM Resorts International, the corporate owner of both the Mandalay Bay resort and the Route 91 Harvest Festival concert venue.

Pinkerton said the intent was to get the cases before a jury less likely to be influenced by the size and clout of a casino company that is both an active political contributor in Nevada and the largest employer in the state.

Discovery might get to the bottom of some of this.

If victims aren’t bought off first.

Has anyone noticed since the October 1 massacre in Las Vegas, one or more of the big box stores have “sanitized” their background music by eliminating any and all selections that bear any resemblance to Country & Western? I have noticed. And while I can’t mention any names I can tell you it’s a nice big hardware store. Guess they don’t want to be accused of inciting violence by playing “racist” background music in their stores. Your hundred thousand dollar ABA seditious treasonous anti-constitutionalist lawyers at work.

Pfft. Nobody can “reasonably expect” that a maniac might shoot out the windows and keep shooting.

Thanks to the crack reporting on the LV shooting, I have no idea how many of these supposed 500 victims were hit by gunfire and how many were injured in the stampede to vacate the arena.

The reporting always suggests gunfire but if that were truly the case,it would be explicitly clear - and it isn’t.

if there are no guns allowed signs posted..

I can expect it to be a target for a nut with a gun or two.

Wow, seems like the plaintiffs lawyers are the only people who want to talk about the Vegas shooting at all anymore.

Because it has otherwise completely disappeared from the news.

Pfft. Nobody can “reasonably expect” that a lawyer won't go for the deepest pockets he can find.

This mess is to clean, so it was carefully arranged. Micro analysis fails. Macro (Global) players handy work probable. Subsequent Saudi purge to a massacre disguising the HIT in LV of a VIP player. Question is who was hit? A Saudi royal who owned ISIS?

Interesting, ain’t it?

In answer to your question, How many were injured in the stampede? Keep in mind this is just one hospital Emergency Department.

8 GSWs to the chest
10 GSWs to the head
13 GSWs to the abdomen
17 Ortho GSWs
33 GSWs to the neck or major extremities

The article states, no sprained ankles, etc. Strictly gunshot wounds.

FWIW, somewhere I saw an interview with a Las Vegas ER doctor, who stated that the vast majority of injuries were gunshots...very few trampling related.

I don’t see any grounds for a suit.

S happens folks.

You can’t do enough things to stop the ill effects of “CRAZY”.

Attorneys are off the top of the chart when it comes to bottom feeders.

If vics and families want answers, this may be the only way to get them.
