Mora Law Office Files Whistleblower Lawsuit Against City Park

The Mora Law Office is representing James Hood, in his whistleblower action against his former employer, the Carousel Gardens Amusement Park located in City Park. Hood seeks compensatory damages, including back pay, benefits, attorneys’ fees and court costs. Hood was a mechanic for the amusement park. The lawsuit was the subject of a recent article on www.nola.com:

“Hood was fired nine weeks before an Easter Sunday incident at the amusement park, in which a 3-year-old boy hunting for Easter eggs wandered into the path of the miniature train, which was unable to stop before striking the child. The boy sustained serious lacerations to his legs and multiple abrasions to his body, according to the spokeswoman for New Orleans EMS. The lawsuit does not mention that incident or any others resulting in rider or spectator injuries at the park.”
