Understanding Liability for Golf-Related Incidents

Liability for incidents that occur in golf courses could be tricky. Golf courses, in general, are risky locations. Courts have previously decided that all golfers accept a risk of being hit by a misdirected golf ball when they enter the premises; therefore, any party hit by a golf ball cannot take legal action – given that the golf ball was misaimed or misguided. On the contrary, golfers could be held liable for any harm suffered by innocent parties granted that their reckless or negligent conduct resulted in the injury; in other words, any reckless activity outside the normal range of activity expected in a golf course could result in a lawsuit. Golfers could be held liable for the harm caused by their reckless, malicious, and intentional actions. In the incident described above in which the unidentified suspect attacked the 75-year-old golfer leaving him with a brain injury, the attacker (the 20-year-old golfer) could be held accountable for all the harm suffered by the victim. The problem in this case, however, is that the attacker has not been identified, and there is no information available to allow the victim and his family to pursue a claim. Could the golf course be liable in any way? The owners and managers of golf courses have the duty to keep parties safe while on the premises. This usually entails ensuring that the premise is free of hazards such as holes, potholes, and slippery surfaces, for example. This duty of care also includes the duty to identify and address individuals that pose a threat to others on the premises. When the owners or managers of a golf course fail to address a known hazard, they are breaching their duty of care and putting innocent parties at risk of being harmed. When harm results from a breach of duty, liability could fall onto the golf course. How could the golf course and its representatives have known that a golfer would have attacked another golfer, leaving him with brain injuries? Based on the incident report, the attack was completely random. Golf clubs and courses, in general, are known for having very strict guidelines. After becoming aware of a party breaking their rules, they usually take immediate action. If the incident was completely random, they could not have possibly anticipated the incident and done something before the golfer attacked the victim. However, if there was a history of incidents (although not as severe) occurring at the golf course, the something should have been done to lessen the possibility of someone becoming seriously injured. Another issue that arises is related to golf course security. Did security fail to detain the attacker? Did the lack of security on the premises allow the attack to happen? Could have the incident been prevented with better security? If the lack of security on the premises contributed to the incident or the severity of the incident in any way, liability could be established.

Your Claim is Subject to a Deadline

All personal injury claims are subject to a specific deadline – a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations is a deadline that determines the length of time that claimants have to pursue their claims. When claimants fail to file their claims within the appropriate length of time, they can lose their right to sue. In general, personal injury claims (in the state of California) are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. However, specific details of the claim could change this – resulting in a longer or shorter time to take legal action. If you would like to know the exact timeline that applies to your claim, it is essential that you speak to a lawyer.
