Fair enough, why not me, I'm as good an example as any, and better than
most. Posit for the sake of this flippant example that I am not
charitable (that is, that I did not invite these refugees onto my land,
and did not grant them safe passage across it). Remember, this is an
example and an example only. It so happens that in real life, I actually
HAVE a "refugee" living with me that I am not only granting safe passage
to but giving sustenance to... but that's real life, not this flippant
example. I'm willing to be the heavy for expository purposes if it will
move things forward.

Yes, they are my personal liability.
In your example that "sheer random chance" is an accident. Accidents
happen. A tree could have been struck by lightning and no one was to
blame, yet because it happened on my property, I'm stuck with the
cleanup. Heck, that tree might have blown in from somewhere totally
unidentifiable during a hurricane and even if it wasn't my tree to start
with, I'm still stuck. That's life... and that's what insurance is for.
You can't avoid accidents completely, you can only prepare for them.
Failure to prepare is no excuse and no claim on the property of others.
Now, if there was a pattern here and I was having to file burial claims
3 times a month, you can be sure I'd be trying to figure out why these
trespassers were always dying on MY property and how it was that they
seemed to so easily gain admittance and trying to determine if there was
someone (with some assets) who was aiding and abetting this trespassing
that I could sue or have prosecuted.
But this is a flippant example so we're OK. More questions?
