The Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner is authorized and empowered, in his discretion, to pay and settle claims and demands against the Commonwealth arising as a result of damages sustained to personal property by reason of work projects or the operation of state-owned or operated equipment when engaged in the construction, reconstruction or maintenance of the State Highway System, unless said claims or demands arise as a result of negligence of the person or persons asserting such claims or demands. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as imposing any legal liability upon the Commonwealth to pay such claims or demands, nor as giving the consent of the Commonwealth to be sued in any action or suit to recover on such claims or demands in the event the said Commissioner refuses payment of said claims or demands.
