Nearly 2,400 people required medical treatment following last year's deadly Astroworld music festival in Houston, according to a new court filing.
Attorneys representing thousands of people suing promoter Live Nation, headliner Travis Scott and dozens of other companies over the tragedy said in a court document filed this week that 732 claimants sustained an injury requiring "extensive medical treatment" during the concert on Nov. 5, 2021. Another 1,649 claimants suffered an injury requiring "less extensive medical treatment," according to the filing, which does not define the injury categories.
Additionally, the injuries of another 2,540 claimants are under review, attorneys said.
"Plaintiffs will continue to evaluate and update this for the Court as additional information and details are received and reviewed," the attorneys stated in the document, filed in the 11th Judicial District in Harris County on Monday.
