Los Angeles Golf Course Injury Accident Lawyer

While golfing on a golf course is often viewed as a relaxing social activity, and is commonly used for business purposes, there are many ways in which someone could be seriously injured on a golf course because of the negligence of others or because a golf car was improperly maintained.  Depending on whether the golf course is owned by the City of Los Angeles or is privately owned is a factor in how much you may recover and from whom.

Some accidents on a golf course may involve a golf cart.  Common causes of Los Angeles golf cart accidents include reckless golf cart drivers who put their passengers in danger by driving on steep hills or take the cart off of the path.  A driver may also run over a golfer on the golf course and may rear-end another golf cart causing a whiplash accident.  People injured by a golf cart may seek compensation from the golf cart driver's homeowner's insurance policy.  Golfers hit by the golf cart may seek recovery by filing a lawsuit for negligent driving, and they should speak with our Los Angeles golf cart accident lawyer as we may also be able to bring a dram shop personal injury action if the driver was served too much alcohol by the golf course.  Further, if the golf cart is not properly maintained where the brakes fail to work causing you to be seriously injured, you may seek recovery from the golf cart manufacturer as well as the golf course that owns or is leasing the golf carts.

Another common type of injury are golfers being hit by a golf ball.  This type of golf accident generally occurs when the group of golfers behind you fail to properly warn you of an incoming golf ball, where it is the common practice to yell "FORE!"  Golf balls can be traveling over 100 mph and can cause serious injuries, including spinal cord injuries, brain injuries or other head trauma, including serious bruising.  You are entitled to recover for the negligence of the golfer who caused your injuries by hitting you with a golf ball.

Another type of accident which happens on Los Angeles golf courses are slip, trip and fall accidents.  Some causes of these accidents may include a defective sprinkler causing a golf course path to be slippery, where there are no warnings of the slippery condition, you may have a premises liability case against the golf course.
