Cesar Ornelas Law to Represent Family of Victims of Astroworld Tragedy

Cesar Ornelas, a nationally recognized Texas personal injury attorney who has recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients, has recently been engaged to represent several victims of the November 5, 2021 tragedy at the Astroworld Music Festival that left 10 people dead and hundreds injured.

“My clients will never forget the horrific events of that night, struggling to breathe, trying to escape and save their lives.  This was a preventable tragedy and an epic failure,” said Cesar Ornelas, “we are exploring all legal options and have launched an investigation to ensure that the facts are known about exactly what went wrong, who was responsible, and bring accountability to make sure this never happens again.”

The lawsuit filed by Cesar Ornelas Law includes 13 defendants who were present at the Houston festival, including both Travis Scott himself as well as fellow rapper Drake, Live Nation, and its affiliates, Cactus Jack Records LLC, Scoremore LLC, and its affiliated, ASM Global and its affiliates, and Harris County Sports and Convention Corp.

Angela Tabares, attorney at Cesar Ornelas Law, alleges that Scott’s proven history of inciting riots at his concerts combined with lack of preparation of the organization who hired untrained and inexperienced security staff are reason enough to move forward with the lawsuits.

Other potential clients have contacted Cesar Ornelas seeking representation for their injuries and damages.  Cesar Ornelas Law continues to offer free, confidential case consultations to injured Astroworld victims and their families.

“Adequate event preparation and ensuring the safety of all attendees is a basic and fundamental responsibility at any concert event, and it is clear that organizers put profit first, ignoring multiple warnings in advance of, and during the tragedy,” said Ornelas.
