Auto Accident from a stop sign being blocked

I ran a stop sign that was not visible due to a tree, bush and moss hanging in front of the sign. It was foggy on the morning of the accident and there are no rumble stripes on the road to make you aware that a stop sign is ahead. Upon running the stop sign I hit an enbankment and landed in a ladies yard. I broke my back in the process. Can I file a claim against the county? Since it is a county road and they are responsible for makng sure that there is adaquate visible signage and warnings(rumble stripes)The accident occured 3 months ago.

Dear Sir/Ma'am:

Sorry to hear about your serious injury. Sounds like you've been through a lot so far.

You may very well have a case if the stop sign was blocked the way it was.

Feel free to give me a call to discuss this collission further.

I wish you the best of luck.
