University of Notre Dame Creates Dangerous Living Environment for Students
Notre Dame freshman, Sean Tennant, fell 30 feet over a stairwell balcony onto the concrete basement floor of his university owned and operated dorm. Sean survived the fall but suffered catastrophic brain injuries that will severely affect his neurocognitive and functional abilities for the rest of his life. Meyers & Flowers Partner, Peter J. Flowers, has teamed up with Indiana-based law firm, Hovde, Dassow & Deets to file negligence and wrongful conduct complaints against the University of Notre Dame on behalf of Sean Tennant.
“They encourage the kids to act like the dorms are fraternities, where you’ve got kids of legal age mixed in with underage kids and inadequate policies and procedures in place, creating an unreasonably dangerous environment,” said Flowers.
Meyers & Flowers Continues to Seek Justice for Former NFL Players

Flowers will continue to fight for their clients until they are awarded the just and fair payment they deserve.

Meyers & Flowers Sponsors New Van
for Tuskegee NEXT
Ingrained in Meyers & Flowers culture is the need to support our community, in and out of the courtroom. Over the years, our firm has been honored to contribute to the inspiring work of Tuskegee NEXT and as of recently sponsor their new van. The vehicle will be used to transport Cadets during training while also driving youth without cars to activities to expose them to a future in aviation.

Continuing the legacy built by the Tuskegee Airmen, Tuskegee NEXT is on a mission to build the next generation of pilots through aviation education and career opportunities. The organization works to bridge the gap between the lack of economic prospects in African American communities and the growing need for pilots and experts in the aviation industry. The summer-long program guides at-risk students through various courses, including flight training and leadership development, free of charge. The program prepares the Cadets to earn their pilot’s licenses and launch them into an aviation career. 
Meyers & Flowers is proud to work with Tuskegee NEXT to continue “building the future of the skies”.
