Researching Law cases

I'm trying to find out where you can research past law cases - ideally online.
what I'm trying to find out is about any big cases particularly in the UK or USA where people sued for anything involving fires.

I think its just landmarkcases.org
findlaw.com has some good information, if you know exactly what your looking for, else it tends to be alot of random clicking. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/casesummary/index.html

Are you looking for arson?
law.com is also helpful, in a way, if you search they can give you specific cases, but you have to be subscribed... but you can take the case names and just search them on the web

not in particular (although would be of some interest) - more accidental fires that could have been prevented or things that could be better protected against burning..
for instance this:

or even just major things like this:

I had to get mine from westlaw and lexisnexis when I was studying for my law degree and that required an athens password!
Both these, and SWQ's suggestions need a uni login, and if you havent got one, PM me, and Ill research for you.

Awarding 1 family almost $5 Billion kind of makes a joke out of the legal system and just means in reality they're likely to face many more years in court on appeals.
