GRETNA – A Jefferson Parish woman is suing a local grocery store for injuries she claims to have received in a fall on its premises.
Emily Silvio filed suit against Breaux Mart Supermarkets Inc. in the 24th Judicial District Court on April 2.
Silvio claims she entered the Breaux Mart Supermarket on Jefferson Highway when she slipped and fell on a wet floor. The plaintiff alleges she received new injuries and aggravated existing injuries in the incident.

An unspecified amount in damages is sought for physical pain, mental anguish, disability, medical care, loss of life’s pleasures, wage loss and loss of earning capacity.
Silvio is represented by Stephen R. Rue of New Orleans-based Stephen R. Rue & Associates.
