## Opinion text

HUGHES, J.,
dissenting in part.
hi respectfully disagree with the reallocation of fault. We have upped the state’s liability from 39% to 100%. The pictures show that it would be hard not to see that this large, low hanging limb presented a problem. I believe the truck driver was also at fault for not at least slowing down and proceeding more cautiously.
