Jacqueline E. Greunig filed suit against 1st Lake Properties Inc., Windmill Partners LLC, Favrot and Shane Companies and Windmill Creek North Apartments in the 24th Judicial District Court on Dec. 11.

An unspecified amount in damages is sought for physical pain and suffering, mental pain and suffering, disability, medical expenses, lost wages and loss of earning capacity.
