Travis Scott and Live Nation continue to have lawsuits pile up against them, with one Houston injury attorney just submitting 7 in the last hour for various clients, and famed attorney Ben Crump is also repping victims.
The docs, obtained by TMZ, are mostly identical — filed by the Houston law firm of Roberts Markland LLP — but switch out the petitioner name each time. Each lawsuit claims both Travis and Live Nation failed to provide adequate security and a security plan to protect attendees … and conditions at Astroworld Festival “caused several stampedes and a crowd compression” that led to the 8 deaths and hundreds of injuries.

The attorney behind these lawsuits — Sean Roberts, doesn’t list specific injuries for his clients, but says they were “seriously and permanently injured.”

In the docs, Travis and LN are accused of failing to warn fans of safety risks and failing to provide appropriate medical staff at the event.
Of course, there will certainly be more lawsuits filed by concertgoers, and wrongful death litigation is expected as well. Attorney Ben Crump — who repped the family of George Floyd — has also stated he is representing Astroworld attendees.
Roberts is suing for negligence, and wants an unspecified amount in damages for each of his clients.
