More than 4,400 relatives and victims of the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history could receive a total of $800 million in payouts by January.
Under a settlement with MGM Resorts International, $800 million will not be divided evenly among families of those killed and injured in the 2017 mass shooting. How much victims earned and the severity of injuries are among the factors considered.A minimum $5,000 would go to each person who filed a claim for unseen injuries and did not seek medical attention or therapy, he said.
Eglet said amounts disbursed will be determined by two administrators — retired Nevada Judge Jennifer Togliatti and retired California Judge Louis Meisinger — with help from the Virginia-based claims management legal firm BrownGreer. “We’re hopeful it will be by the end of this year, but a lot could depend on appeals and how quickly and efficiently the administrators can finish their work. They’ve got a lot of work to do,” Eglet said.
This week’s court filings don’t mention the gunman, Stephen Paddock, who killed himself as police closed in. Las Vegas police and the FBI determined that the 64-year-old retired accountant and high-stakes poker player meticulously planned the attack and acted alone.
