According to papers obtained by TMZ, lawyers say their findings so far show that in addition to 10 people died …they discovered an additional 732 claims of being seriously injured – and classify this group as requiring “extensive medical treatment”.
Another 1,649 people said they had injuries that required “less intensive medical treatment” – and another 2,540 said they had injuries that are still under review.

Here’s the thing… The document doesn’t exactly specify the criteria that characterize each injury category – it just provides raw stats. The details are supposed to be dissected at a later time.
In any case, the fact that they claimed that thousands of people were harmed as a result of what happened in Astroworld is shocking – especially since initial estimates were closer to 300 or 400, tops.
The case is still making its way through the system. As reported, Travis Scott and others have done so denied responsibility For tragedy in some amplitudes yet.
