NEW ORLEANS – A New Orleans daycare is being sued by parents alleging their child was left unsupervised, which resulted in the child being injured.

An unspecified amount in damages is sought for all damages including medical expenses, pain and suffering and permanent disability. The court is to determine the amount.
The plaintiff is represented by K. Adam Avin of New Orleans-based law firm Irpino Law Firm.
The case has been assigned to Division I Judge Piper D. Griffin.
