Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Re: reimbursment of repair cost

Likely, they are liable, but practically, you're out of luck. In America, the general rule (absent statute or contract stating otherwise) is each side pays their own attorneys' fees. I would imagine the cost of the window is less than an hour of most attorney's time. That said, if you are willing to pay to make a point, get a repair estimate for the window and speak to me regarding a demand letter to be followed up with suit f they ignore you or otherwise tell you to go pound sand.

I do not know that the club would be responsible. The individual who hit the ball probably is, but if you do not know who that was, it would be impossible to say. Many golf clubs will pay minimal damages in order to keep peace with neighbors.
