GRETNA – A Jefferson Parish woman is suing a local mall where she allegedly was injured after falling in a puddle of water that accumulated at the building’s entrance.
Kathy Ancale Landry filed suit against Esplanade Mall Limited Partnership, Simon Property Group Inc., ABM Industrial Services Inc. and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company in the 24th Judicial District Court on Sept. 9.
