The following is a statement from attorney Sam Taylor of The Lanier Law Firm, who represents families of those killed in the Camp Mystic flooding:
“Given the serious questions that remain, and out of respect for the families of victims, we believe the decision by Camp Mystic ownership to withdraw its application for a state license is proper. The families we represent are grateful that no other Texas family will hand their daughter over to Camp Mystic this summer. But until there is full accountability for what happened on July 4 and until there are real, enforceable safeguards for every child sent to a Texas summer camp, our work continues.”
–Sam Taylor, legal counsel for the families of six young girls who drowned during the Camp Mystic flooding
The Lanier Law Firm’s lawsuit in the Camp Mystic case seeks justice for the families of Virginia “Wynne” Naylor, Hadley Hanna, and Jane “Janie” Hunt of Dallas; Lucy Dillon of Houston; Kellyanne Lytal of San Antonio; and Virginia Hollis of Bellville, Texas.
The claims include liability for wrongful death, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and failure to warn. The filing seeks actual and exemplary damages, and policy changes to improve safety and emergency preparedness across Texas youth camps.
