Quite possibly you have a cause of action against both of them - the question would be as to your damages. As someone who grew up at 113th & Riverside and knows the area well, I'd be happy to discuss the matter with you.

Feel free to get in contact at your convenience.

If it can be shown that the fire was casued as a result of either or both the landlord or restaurant's actions you may have a valid lawsuit. If you'd like to discuss in more detail, please feel free to call.
