Abstract

This research is based on clarifying the effects that may arise from traffic accidents due to the use of dilapidated public roads by individuals, thus resulting in a civil legal responsibility placed on the shoulders of the state and its administrative institutions towards the people affected as a result. This research aims to explain the responsibility of the Libyan state in establishing and maintaining the public road network, as well as its responsibility for the damage that befalls individuals as a result of walking on dilapidated roads, which are regulated by internal legislation Where we will explain this by stating the nature and basis of the state’s responsibility in particular, and explaining the elements of the tortious responsibility of the administration from the state’s fault, the damage that befalls individuals, and the causal relationship between the state’s error and the damage that befell individuals as a result of walking on dilapidated roads, as well as a statement of the effects of the establishment of the tortious responsibility of the state and its administration.
