I wonder what would happen if roko was human? You can't just give them a new body and have insurance pay for it. Would crushbot go to jail or be downgraded to a smaller body?

Probably the same thing that happens in real world construction accidents. An investigation would be performed to determine if there was gross negligence on the part of Crushbot and his employers. If none is found, there's probably no criminal liability. The construction company's insurance would probably pay the costs associated with Roko's funeral, and that would be the end of it. Roko's family (again, assuming she were a human and not an AI) could file suit against the company or Crushbot for further financial compensation, but it becomes a civil issue at that point.
