Kim Colson Brickley filed suit against Southern Fidelity Insurance Company, Ville St. John Owner’s Association and Soniat Reality Inc. in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court on Sept. 9.

The plaintiff is seeking an unspecified amount in damages for full value of property, mold damage, debris removal, mental agony, pain and suffering, disabilities, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses, loss of wages and damaged contents.

The plaintiff is represented by attorney David W. Gernhauser Jr.
