The highway department is replacing all the signs along I-75 in my area. Even though the old signs were fine. The new ones are more reflective than any I've ever seen. Yesterday the sun hit the one on my exit ramp just right and the glare just about blinded me. When this causes a wreck can I sue he state?

Sure. You can sue for just about anything nowadays if you feel so inclined. Will you win? Probably not.
Sun glare can always be a problem and drivers are expected to use certain tools to help them be able to see. Keeping the windshield clean, using the visors, sunglasses, etc. You know what they say about fighting city hall (or state for that matter.)
Nontheless, someone will probably claim that the glare from a sign contributed to an accident and sue anyway. Like I stated, I doubt they'd win, but anything's possible.
Drive carefully, be safe.
