| 2012 | Skrillex stage-dived from a raised platform into the audience at a Los Angeles show and struck concertgoer Jennifer Fraissl. She later suffered a stroke, which she attributed to the injury. In 2018, a Los Angeles jury found Skrillex 35% responsible for the damages and awarded Fraissl $4.525 million overall, reduced by 15% because the jury found her partly responsible. Skrillex and his touring company were ordered to pay about $3.4 million combined. His lawyer disputed that Skrillex had physically struck her and said an appeal was being considered. | Source |
