The lawsuits are piling up against Dennis Etzkorn, owner and operator of the Gabriel House assisted living facility, with a total of 15 people claiming injuries and negligence in the deadly fire.
Former Gabriel House residents Albert Almanza, Larry Ashworth, Muriel Boyce, Shirley Cambra, Lorraine Ferrera, Caroline Johnson and James Vicery were the latest to file a joint lawsuit against Etzkorn, Karen Etzkorn, Gabriel Care LLC and Fire Systems.
The seven, represented by attorneys from Keches Law Group and Boston Law, filed the civil suit in Bristol County Superior Court last week.
All seven said they were injured in the July 13 fire that broke out at the Oliver Street assisted living facility, where 10 people were killed and about 30 injured.
