What is the name of your state? Ohio.
Recently I was in a golf cart accident where the golf cart swiped a tree. The accident damaged the golf cart and the course's insurance company is seeking subrogation for repair cost. Other courses in Ohio require a signature acknowledging the drivers responsibility for any damage to the golf cart during the round. This was the first time at this particular golf course and I didn't sign any such waiver. Also, this was a special outing and green fees were paid to a third party. The reason for the side swipe was due to a tree close to a curved cart path and the cart path had a raised edge. When the golf cart which was also one of the fastest golf carts I've driven went off the cart path the tire rubbed against the cart path and it was hard to correct. Almost missing the tree, the golf cart sustained brake pedal damage, jumped on it when I knew that I couldn't miss the tree, and left side swipe damage.
Basically, my question is am I liable for the damages?
Thanks for any info..
