"Certainly neither Travis Scott nor his handlers, entourage managers, agents, hangers on promoters, organizers or sponsors cared enough about Axel to make even minimal effort to keep him and the others at the concert safe," Buzbee said in a press conference with the family Monday. Texas attorney Thomas J. Henry also filed a lawsuit against Scott and Drake, as well as Live Nation and NRG Stadium, on behalf of one of the surviving victims following Friday night's tragedy.
Kherkher Garcia, LLP has also filed a lawsuit against event organizers and Scott on behalf of an attendee who the firm said"suffered serious bodily injuries when the uncontrolled crowd at the concert knocked him to the ground and trampled him.""He and those who promoted and supported this concert must take responsibility for their heinous actions," Kherkher Garcia, LLP said in a statement to ABC News.
Higgins said event organizers are going to have to answer for the safety precautions, crowd control procedures and other policies that play a big role in event planning.
