Another Mold Lawsuit

ByGeorge Hatcher April 22, 2014October 7, 2021

Mold lawsuits strike again: This time, Akeidra Massey and Joseph Jacks filed suit against Willwoods Community, Willwoods Community Management Inc. and their insurer in the 24th Judicial District Court on March 26.

The attorney defending Akeidra Massey and Joseph Jacks is J. Nelson Mauyer III of New Orleans.

These tenants of the Courtyard Apartments were exposed to high levels of mold. Repairs not made after water intrusion during Hurricane Isaac may have been the cause.

Landlords failed to maintain the premises in a reasonable and safe condition, leading to illness, leading to severe injuries, leading to the lawsuit.

Louisiana’s humidity and water issues frequently lead to mold-related pain, suffering, disability and economic loss.
