Individuals dismissed from wrongful death suit

Posted
Four individuals have been dismissed from a wrongful death lawsuit related to a 2010 fatal accident on Augusta Bottom Road. Paula Kopmann, Kathryn Kessler, Diane Kessler and Thomas Kessler were all dismissed, according to a recent court filing obtained by The Record. Still named as defendants are Warren County, St. Charles County, the city of Washington, Kessler Farms, Inc., the Beatrice R. Kessler Trust and John Doe landowners 1-6. The lawsuit was filed by the parents of Ella Neier. The 16-year-old Washington girl died when her car skidded off a section of Augusta Bottom Road and crashed into a pond along the roaday that was created by floodwaters. Neier’s parents alleged that the defendants failed to properly maintain and improve the roadway, leading to the crash. Franklin County and Three Creeks Village, also named as defendants, were dismissed from the lawsuit last year . A confidential settlement between the city of Augusta, another defendant in the case, and Neier’s parents was reached last year.
