Video After The Jump
17 of the 42 people injured when railing collapsed during a Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa concert earlier this month in Camden, New Jersey have filed a lawsuit against the rappers.
According to the Associated Press, the suit was filed Wednesday, August 24, in Philadelphia.
14 of the plaintiffs are concert goers. Three are employees of the venue, BB&T Pavilion, including one who suffered a fractured spine.
As we previously reported, the incident occurred on August 5, when the crowd surged forward during a part of the show..
When the railing collapsed fans fell about 10 feet onto a concrete pathway below.
"I can tell you there is no doubt there was a crowd surge based upon the setup of the lawn with no chairs and no aisles, lack of security ... and then the artists telling people to come forward," the plaintiffs' attorney, Robert J. Mongeluzzi, told the Associated Press. "That's the setup, and that's the failure."
