Re: broken arm
How was the state of Georgia negligent? Was it their dog? Did a state employee let the dog loose? Most places, private and public, do not have confined areas for dogs (or, for that matter, any other object one may trip over). The person who is generally liable for the dog's actions is the dog's owner. Whether the owner was somehow negligent, or whether you could have avoided the dog and the accident by looking where you were going, are additional questions.

The State of Georgia is not immune from being sued, however it seems the blame lies with the dog owner. If you have their information, you should bring a claim against him/her.
Re: broken arm
Your claim is governed by Georgia law.
