"Bloomberg) -- A Berkshire Hathaway Inc. unit found liable by a jury for destruction caused by the 2020 Labor Day Fires in Oregon could face damages well beyond PacifiCorp's net worth of $10.7 billion, a lawyer for the company told a jury. ...

If the owners of about 2,500 properties each win an average of $4.5 million as part of the class-action case, that would add up to $11.25 billion, she said. Punitive damages of five times that amount to each of two occupants of a home would result in a 10-fold increase."
