The short answer to your question is it depends, and it depends on a lot of variables. There may be a chance you can recover from the state for your loss, but based upon the scanty information you have provided, it is impossible to say. But you certainly should follow up with an attorney experienced in pursuing claims under the Tort Claims Act, which is an act providing broad immunity to the state and its employees.
