What is the name of your state? Florida
MY question is the following. You are on a golf course and one of your shots goes astray into the adjacent street. The street is parallel to the particular hole. There are only some decorative coral rock between the actual hole and the street as well as several trees. The ball after being struck hits the back window of a vehicle. Am I liable for the damage or is the Golf course for not having the appropiate barriers. It would not be uncommon for a typical weekend golfer to accidently hit his/her ball in to this street. I don't believe I was negligent since I was on the golf course and isn't there an assumed risk. I am scheduled for arbitration with the Insurance company that paid for the repairs. Am I liable for the damages?? 100 % or partial ? Help fellow golfers !
