TMZ obtained documents filed by Roberts Markland LLP for the seven lawsuits which they described as identical with the exception of the petitioner&#8217;s name. The lawsuits accuse the involved parties of being <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/brother-of-man-killed-at-astroworld-says-travis-scotts-team-should-be-held-accountable-for-festival--news.142450.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">negligent</a> in providing sufficient security or even laying down a plan that could&#8217;ve prevented &#8220;several stampedes and a crowd compression&#8221; which resulted in eight deaths and countless injuries. Additionally, the lawsuits say Scott and Live Nation didn&#8217;t give any warning to fans of the potential dangers and failed to bring an adequate amount of medical staff to care for injuries. 
Sean Roberts of Roberts Markland LLP, who filed the lawsuits, described his clients as &#8220;seriously and permanently injured.&#8221; He&#8217;s seeking an unspecified amount of damages for each of his clients.
