Virginia Mom Sues Alcohol Suppliers In Daughter’s Wrongful Death Case

After her young daughter died during a drinking binge, a Virginia mother is suing seven different people involved with the accident for wrongful death.

According to reports, 17-year-old Taylor Meyer attended a series of parties following a high school football game – and ended up at an after party at an abandoned airport. Although she was supposed to spend the night with a friend, Meyer wandered away from the party alone. She drown in a swampy area 100 yards from the party, with a blood alcohol level of 0.13. Later, authorities said that two friends had jokingly pointed her toward the swamp before she left. Although a relative received a call from Meyer after she left the party, the connection was bad or Meyer was not speaking coherently.

Now her mother, Kathi Jean Myer, is suing seven different people who were responsible for giving her daughter alcohol on the night of the party. Her wrongful death lawsuit lists Sean Flynn, Brian Zusick, Paige Zusick, Rachel Stark, Dianne Stark, Matthew Dusseault, and Christopher Moran. These adults, parents, and teens all took part in either purchasing alcohol, transporting alcohol, or condoning alcohol use on the night of Meyer’s death.

Although Meyer is aware that her wrongful death lawsuit will not amount to much money – five of those named are teens – she does hope that the lawsuit will make those people responsible for what they did and raise awareness about responsible behavior regarding alcohol and teens.
