While authorities continue to investigate what caused the casualties, several concertgoers and victims' families have already filed lawsuits against Scott and the organisers, including ScoreMore, ASM Global and several others.

One lawsuit filed by attendee Manuel Souza and obtained by E! News stated that the event was "predictable and preventable". Another lawsuit filed by concertgoer Kristian Paredes and obtained by the outlet alleged that Scott and performer Drake, as well as Live Nation and Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation, were negligent.

News in a statement, "Because of pending litigation and ongoing investigations, we are unable to comment." In a separate statement to E! News, Live Nation said, "We continue to support and assist local authorities in their ongoing investigation so that both the fans who attended and their families can get the answers they want and deserve, and we will address all legal matters at the appropriate time."
