Nine of the 10 wrongful death lawsuits filed after the 2021 Astroworld festival, where 10 people were killed in a crowd surge, have been settled, including one that was set to go to trial this week, attorneys said Wednesday.
Jury selection had been set to begin Tuesday in the wrongful-death lawsuit filed the family of Madison Dubiski, a 23-year-old Houston resident who was killed during the crowd crush at the Nov. 5, 2021, concert by rap superstar Travis Scott.
But Neal Manne, an attorney for Live Nation, the festival’s promoter and one of those being sued, said during a court hearing Wednesday that only one wrongful death lawsuit remained pending and the other nine have been settled, including the one filed by Dubiski’s family.
这起仍在审理中的诉讼是由9岁的埃兹拉·布朗特(Ezra Blount)的家人提起的,他是在音乐会中遇害的最年轻的人。
和解的条款是保密的,律师们在法庭听证会后拒绝发表评论,因为案件有禁言令。
诉讼律师将于下周会面,讨论布朗特家人提起的诉讼何时开庭。
