At least one Canadian victim of the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history says she won’t receive any money from a settlement worth as much as $800-million US Dollars.

Victoria resident Brie Jacobsen was injured by shrapnel in the Las Vegas shooting rampage in 2017.

Speaking on NL Newsday, she says she was approached by an American law firm involved in the class-action lawsuit, but declined to take part.

“One I didn’t want to be silenced, because of course if you have received a settlement, you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement,” she said. “And the second was I had been counselled by my own legal counsel to say that sometimes if you don’t know earn the lawyer enough money, that you have to pay back the difference.”

Insurers for MGM Resorts International will contribute a minimum of $735 million for a settlement fund. That’s after a gunman opened fire from MGM’s Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, into an MGM owned concert venue, killing 58 people and injuring hundreds

“[Lawyers] take approximately 40 per cent off the top right away. And that doesn’t even include the lawyer fees that you pay out on top of that afterwards,” she added. “If there were 2,500 plaintiffs and the plaintiffs are approximately going to make out to $192,000, depending on your injuries and you fees and everything, so when you cut down taxes and everything, I don’t think MGM is paying enough money.”

Jacobsen says because she wasn’t physically injured as bad as some other people, her payout likely wouldn’t have been worth it.

And she says while she is improving in the two years since the shooting, she still suffers from PTSD.
