Bill Summary
Relative to property owner liability for personal injuries sustained at quarries. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill limits the liability of property owners for personal injuries sustained at quarries. It defines a "quarry" as an excavation or pit where stone or minerals are extracted, which poses an inherent risk of serious injury or death. The bill states that a property owner with a quarry on their land will not be liable for damages in excess of $100,000 for injuries that would not have occurred but for the existence of the quarry, unless the owner creates a foreseeable risk of serious injury that substantially causes the injury.
