Clark v. Pennsylvania Department of Transportation

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that DOT was immune from suit where the tree that injured a motorist was located beyond DOT’s right-of-way, even though the tree had a limb overhanging DOT’s right-of-way
• concluding, as a matter of law, that the plaintiffs failed to prove the real estate exception to sovereign immunity, where “the evidence established that the tree separated from its trunk and fell as a single unit from [a private individual’s] property, well outside [of] DOT’s right-of-way”
