A court in LA has been awarded a woman who sued for $ 3.8 million in damages for the injuries she suffered.
Jennifer Fraissl sued the DJ and producer in relation to a show in LA back in 2012. He claimed that when he attempted to crowdsurf at the gig, he suffered head injuries that later led to a stroke. Fraissl also claimed that Skrillex had urged fans to move forward to staged, making it hard for her to remove herself from the situation.
According to CBS, the jury awarded Fraissl damages that totaled $ 4.5 million, but those were then cut back slightly because "Fraissl's negligence was apportioned at 15%." Of the remaining $ 3.8 million, most will be paid by Skrillex and its Lost Boys Touring Inc., while the venue will have to cover $ 450,000.
Commenting on the ruling, Skrillex said in a statement: "There is nothing more important for me than my fans and their safety at my shows. I want them to have fun and enjoy the music. While I'm disappointed by the jury's decision, I'm glad this process is over. I look forward to getting it to work and delivering new music to my fans.
