A victim of the horrific shootings is the first to sue for compensation of her life-threatening injuries.
One of the Las Vegas shooting victims has filed the first lawsuit against Stephen Paddock’s estate along with MGM Resorts and Live Nation, claiming they’re all to blame for her life-threatening injuries.
Paige Gasper, a 21-year-old from CA, filed the suit in Clark County, Nevada … and in the docs she says the venue and promoter are just as responsible as Paddock because they failed to properly protect concertgoers from mortal danger.
Gasper says she was struck by a bullet that entered her right underarm, cut across her right breast, shattered her ribs and lacerated her liver before exiting her body. She says the bullet incapacitated her, and fleeing
concertgoers ended up trampling her, which she partly blames on Live Nation for having an inadequate exit plan.
A Good Samaritan eventually picked her up and put her on a flatbed truck with other victims, and they were raced to a hospital.
Gasper is also suing the manufacturers of bump stocks, which helped turn Paddock’s semi-automatic rifle into a near fully-automatic weapon.
We’ve reached out to MGM and Live Nation, so far no word back.
No word on the extent of her injuries.
OBVIOUSLY Paddock is directly responsible for her injuries, though I don’t know if she has a case against MGM, Live Nation, and ESPECIALLY bump stock manufacturers.
I know some of you will, but I don’t blame her and her family for trying. Who knows how catastrophic her injuries are. She may never be able to lead a normal life. I think most in that situation would at least try to get some financial help if at all possible.
