Mardi-Gras Lawsuits

The Times-Picayune reports that an ex-member of the Krewe of Muses, lawyer Christine M. Mora, has filed suit against her former Krewe and Blaine Kern Mardi Gras World, Inc. in an effort to recover damages for injuries she incurred during last year's parade. The lawsuit, filed in Orleans Civil District Court, alleges that the driver of the float was negligent, which caused her to lose balance and strike her eye on one of the unprotected metal hooks used to hang beads. "Muses' captain, lawyer Staci A. Rosenberg, declined to comment on Mora's claim that she wrote and telephoned the krewe [asking it to pay her medical bills before she filed suit]."
