Supreme Court of Iowa April 17, 1985, 84-378 (Bockelman v. State, Department of Transportation)

SCHULTZ, Justice.

The deciding issue in this appeal is whether a party injured by a negligent motorist may recover from the State for its negligence in failing to seek the suspension of such motorist’s driving privileges because he was an habitual offender. The trial court decided this case on a factual basis, holding that plaintiff had failed to meet her burden of proving proximate cause.
