Although Seng was not physically hurt at the concert, she alleged that she can't sleep, has nightmares, and recently mistook a heavy rain for gunshots.
The 14 individual suits filed Wednesday by people and relatives in Nevada's Clark County District Court cited wrongful death, bodily injury, and psychological damage in a sequel to the mass killing.
Lawsuits are being filed against Mandalay Bay, the hotel where gunman Stephen Paddock stayed, as well as its parent company MGM Resorts International; the concert organizer; and the manufacturer of the "bump stock" device used by the mass murderer to enhance the efficacy of his guns.
The complaints questioned why Paddock was treated as "MGM's VIP guest," given a free room with access to a service elevator, which enabled him to bring 17 guns into his hotel room, court records revealed.
The lawsuits also asked why there were not enough security cameras on the 32nd floor where the gunman stayed and from where he carried out the shooting, and why the resort had not installed gunshot detection devices in each room.
As to the event organizer Live Nation Entertainment company, the complaints alleged that the event did not have enough adequately marked exits, was not staffed enough, and employees were not properly trained to deal with emergencies.
BUMP STOCK MAKERS SHIELDED FROM LAWSUITS
Legal experts told Xinhua that claims against Mandalay Bay and Live National Entertainment may yield compensation for victims, yet it is unlikely that the manufacturer of the bump stock, Slide Fire Solutions, will be held liable.
