I am as well, but it is LAW in the United States that corporations (the brick and mortar building) assume all blame and therefore the only party that is required to pay benefits to any victims of malfeasance by the corporation.
Imagine a cruise ship runs aground and destroys property. Now imagine taking the Ship to court and suing the Ship for damages. Strange analogy as the captain of the ship would have to suffer all blame sans technical problems. This is not the case with Corporations.
When Dupont made it's employees and neighbors sick using toxic chemicals and dumping toxic chemicals the Board of Directors (Dupont's Captains, if you will) were absolved of all guilt and the Corporation itself was sued. They sued the building and not the men controlling the actions and goings on of the building. You cannot arrest a building, though I would like to see someone try.
