>That's completely besides the point because they can both be liable

That's not at all besides the point. When I make my own navigation software and publish it on the internet, I'm not liable for keeping the roads safe.

I defer that responsibility to the government. I rely on the roads being safe because there are other institutions responsible for ensuring that.

It's not a question of you, it's a question of their obligations under law and nothing you are saying is responsive to that. They are on notice that they were creating a hazard by sending drivers over a collapsed bridge and they did nothing about it. It's prima facie negligence. You don't really seem to have any idea what you are talking about, and your arguments aren't responsive to the allegations the plaintiff made. See my other posts.
