Landmark Case:
Sheppard v. Mandalay Bay LLC
The Settlement:
$800,000,000
Case Synopsis:
On the eve of the third anniversary of the Route 91 Shooting on the Las Vegas Strip, Eighth Judicial District Court Chief Judge Linda Bell approved an $800 million settlement, granting the Joint Motion for Determination of Good Faith Settlement filed earlier this month on behalf of over 4,000 victims and their families. This is the first settlement in U.S. history for a mass shooting.
Filed jointly by MGM and members of the 1 October Litigation Leadership Group — Eglet Adams, Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP, Robinson Calcagnie and Munger, Tolles & Olson — the motion stated a settlement had been reached in good faith and that the parties involved negotiated a fair and reasonable settlement amount to compensate the victims.
