Liability for who?

There's lots of ways to look at this..


If I were to invite a bunch of buddies over to have a barbeque, and bad 
things happen with the propane bottle, injuring my buddies, my 
homeowner's insurance would cover it (probably).

If I set up a party and charge admission, and then the propane bottle 
blows up, that's another story.

If I go over to my buddy's house and asks me to start his barbeque, and 
it blows up, then there's probably some back and forth between our two 
homeowners/health insurance companies.

If I go over to my buddy's house and he pays me to start the barbeque 
(especially if I'm in the barbeque lighting business), and it blows up, 
it might be more of a problem for me than for him.
