Not sure what you're talking about. PG&E was found liable for many
billions of dollars of property damage after several fires were
determined to have originated from their falling power lines. They had
to go bankrupt to resolve the cost.
They were also found liable when their poorly constructed gas line blew
up and removed a couple dozen homes from the face of the earth (also cot
them billions).
Many years ago, they had a problem that grounded one side of a split
phase transformer. It cause one phase to our house to go dead, and the
other phase to go to 220 volts. Blew up numerous things. PG&E had to
cough up replacement cost for all the things we had to replace.
Of course, your mileage may vary.

How is it that power companies have immunity from damage?
It’s like a Shaggy song.
Send a surge that blows appliances? Wasn’t me.
Send 60 volts for 5 minutes that kills stuff? Wasn’t me.
Food all goes bad because we killed your freezer? Wasn’t me.
I’m not talking about a full on outage. That happens. But how do power
companies get away with immunity from provided improper service that blows
stuff?
