The lawsuit alleges that the man had not been provoked. The lawsuit is seeking $150 million from the concert's promoter, who it accuses of providing inadequate security and safeguards. The lawsuit also alleges that the defendant failed to follow rules on alcohol consumption.

| BP, Transocean Take Fight to Texas' High Court | |
| | BP and Transocean take their half-billion-dollar battle over who pays for pollution-related liabilities arising from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster to the Texas Supreme Court today. The two companies are battling over whose insurance coverage should pay. The federal court in New Orleans overseeing the Deepwater Horizon case asked the Texas high court to decide a simple but critical issue: Is BP covered by Transocean's insurance policy? BP says it is entitled to the coverage as a named "additional insured" in Transocean's policy. Transocean argues that the policy must be read in conjunction with the two parties' drilling contract, which limits Transocean's liability to pollution risks on or above the Gulf of Mexico surface, not below the water.
