Well, maybe you should re-read the thread. Most is not all. I stand by my earlier post.

I don't think anyone on the thread wants unlimited liability.

STDS has a low insight on any topic but BS.

As opposed to your typical insightful posts? (sarcasm alert)

Eeyore has spoken.

Actually if it was your dog we would get more intelligent replies.

And yet another insightful post sure to add to the substantial and intellectual discussion here.

Coffman: Fire Victims Deserve Reimbursement

Someone mentioned Denver Water's liability earlier. Since it is their property, I'm assuming they gave permission for the forest service to do the burn. Do they then have some financial responsibility because of that?

Gramma, they'd enjoy the same damages cap. And you can be sure they'd defend their position by claiming (and rightly so) that they relied on the appropriate use of whatever permits they issued.

Do you know that for fact, or are you assuming since they're a governmental agency? I thought the $600,000 cap was for the State.

The immunities and caps apply to "public entities."
