What Happened: A Texas owner paid $60,000 for a warehouse back in 1999. In 2014, he leased the property to a welding firm. After a short lease term, the building remained empty for several years with the owner steadily investing in improvements for future rentals. But in 2018, a transport company employee ruined his plans by running his truck into a telephone pole, starting an electrical fire that burned the entire place and everything in it to the ground. A jury found the company liable for the employee’s negligence and awarded the owner $500,000 in damages.
