Lawsuits against Scott Gragson could seek $468M, attorneys say
Civil lawsuits against a prominent real estate broker charged in a fatal DUI wreck could be worth nearly half a billion dollars, lawyers told a judge Tuesday.
Scott Gragson is accused of crashing his Range Rover in the upscale Summerlin community of The Ridges last month, killing Melissa Newton, a mother of three, and injuring three others.
Christopher Bentley, a real estate executive who suffered brain damage and is being treated in Colorado, according to his lawyer, William Kemp, sued Gragson earlier this month.
Another attorney, Robert Eglet, told District Judge Rob Bare on Tuesday that he represents Newton and the two other victims in the crash, Greg Tassi and Christie Cobbett. Eglet told a reporter after the court hearing that companion lawsuits to Bentleys were imminent, without offering a specific date.
