Curb Side Daiquiris and Landmark Insurance Co. are being sued over injuries allegedly suffered when a door slammed into the back of a patron's leg.
According to a complaint filed May 5 in Orleans Parish District Court, Vanessa Stanford of New Orleans was entering Curb Side located on Elysian Fields Avenue in May 2009, when the door violently swung closed, severely lacerating her left leg and heel.
