COMPANY SUES CITY, CORNERSTONE IN CONNECTION WITH MY WAY FIRE

(Richmond, IN)--There’s now another lawsuit involving the My Way Trading fire.  Ekwealor  (Uh-kwall-oh) Pharmaceuticals owns a building that is adjacent to the site of the fire.  Ekwealor claims that Cornerstone Trading, under the direction of owner Seth Smith, placed plastics on its property that ultimately caught fire as the fire spread.  Both Smith and the city of Richmond are named in the lawsuit.  Ekwealor is requesting an unspecified amount of damages.  Another lawsuit filed by two Richmond residents continues to make its way through the federal court system.
