MGM Agrees to Pay Las Vegas Shooting Victims Up to $800 Million in Settlement

A global settlement has been reached in connection with the October 1, 2017 shooting at the Route 91 festival in Las Vegas. The amount of the settlement will range from $735 to $800 Million, depending on the number of people who participate in the settlement. While no money will erase the horrors of that day, it is our job to see to it that our clients are compensated for their injuries, both physical and emotional. We are very pleased with this result.

Just days after the two year anniversary, MGM Resorts International reached a settlement that will resolve hundreds of lawsuits in multiple states resulting from the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Victims say the MGM failed to protect 22,000 people attending a country music concert or prevent the shooter from spending several days amassing an arsenal of assault-style weapons and ammunition in his suite at the MGM-owned Mandalay Bay resort.
