Vegas Shooting Attorney Discusses MGM Settlement

Ontario, California -

Alexander D. Napolin, Esq., of Napolin Accident Injury Lawyer, a law firm based in Ontario, California, has discussed the MGM settlement in a blog post recently published on their website. The lawyers of the case represented more than 4,300 claimants in the October 1, 2017 tragedy that resulted in 58 dead (59, including the perpetrator), hundreds wounded, and thousands of people traumatized. In the landmark agreement, MGM Resorts International has agreed to settle all of the viable cases for an amount ranging from $735 million to $800 million. Atty. Napolin declared that the settlement will be able to offer substantial financial and emotional relief for his clients suffering as a result of the tragedy.

On that night, a shooter opened fire on a crowd of people attending the annual Route 91 Harvest country music festival from his suite on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. The perpetrator, Stephen Paddock, was later found dead in his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Paddock had previously booked Room 32-135, a complimentary room on the 32nd floor and later checked into the directly-connected Room 32-134. Both suites are overlooking the site of the concert. Several days before the shooting, he had stockpiled his weapons and ammunition with the hotel bellhops helping him bring in five suitcases to his room. Paddock broke two of the windows in both of his suites and fired more than 1,100 rifle rounds into the festival audience.

In the blog post, Alexander D. Napolin also expressed his condolences to the Route 91 victim survivor shooting lawyers for the loss of Atty. Catherine R. Lombardo, who was part of the team but had passed away due to ovarian cancer. Atty. Napolin declared that Atty. Lombardo was an inspirational figure for the team in their fight to find out what really happened on October 1, 2017 and the liability of MGM Resorts International in the incident. In her early work where she fought for her Route 91 massacre clients, Atty. Lombardo had appeared on several news outlets, including CNN, Fox News Channel, and People Magazine. Despite her illness, her clients knew that she had their back and resulted in the completion of the settlement with MGM.

In a CBS News Los Angeles interview, Atty. Napolin expressed his views regarding the MGM settlement, stating that it represents significant progress for the case. He stated that, “In terms of suffering, money can never replace this tragic loss of life and happiness, but the possibility of settlement offers significant financial and emotional relief for my clients suffering from the aftermath of this horrible tragedy.”
