Live Nation and its subsidiaries, Scoremore, HCSCC and Travis Scott are named in the Dubiskis' lawsuit, along with ASM Global, an event and venue management company, and Valle Services, an event security company.

The lawsuit accuses the defendants of failing to provide a safe concert experience through lack of security, safety and medical equipment, training and planning, among others. The suit argues these causes of action resulted in damages to both Madison Dubiski and her parents, including pre-death mental and physical pain and suffering, loss of earning capacity, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of society and companionship, loss of future pecuniary support, loss of fringe benefits and loss of services and support.

Brian and Michelle Dubiski are seeking monetary relief "in significant excess of $1 million," according to the lawsuit.

Thomas J. Henry's law offices announced Sunday it will be representing multiple victims from the Travis Scott concert in Houston, according to a Facebook post.
