Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
Golf Course Liability
Master community association golf course is located between two
major streets surrounding a condominum (has its own
association). Most holes abut street. If golfer hits a ball and it goes
into the street and
1. hits a car
2. causes car to cause further damage to cars or structures
3. hits window in condominium
4. hits individual in condominium
Who is liable and does it matter whether the golfer is a guest or a
master community association member?

Depending upon additonal factors the course owner and golfer may be responsible.
Re: Golf Course Liability
Interesting question. The answer must be very fact specific. I had a case of a ball hit from the driving range on a tight course from the driving range. I collected from the homeowners insurance policy any from the owner of the course.I also found that the architect had recommended placement of a wire screen to prevent such accidents that was never built. A full attempt to answer to your question would require a three day seminar and a jury would likely have its own opinion.
