Plaintiff v. Construction Company and State Entity Regarding Traffic Accident Liability

A plaintiff, injured due to a traffic accident caused by a construction site obstruction, sued the construction company and the state entity responsible for the public works, asserting both tort liability and contractual liability stemming from an ancillary agreement related to the work. The court upheld the lower court's decision that while the construction company was liable in tort due to its failure to properly secure the site, the claim against the state entity based on a contractual breach was time-barred because the action was initiated after the statutory limitation period for contractual claims had expired, thus affirming the dismissal of the claim against the state based on contract.
