Mark White, As The Administrator Of The Estate Of Harry White et al.. v. Department Of Transportation Of The State Of Georgia et al..

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue involved whether the Georgia Department of Transportation was immune from liability based on its inspection of property adjacent to a highway. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's order dismissing claims against the DOT because evidence showed the tree was outside the established right-of-way, thus barring liability under sovereign immunity.
