Florida Golf Course Insurance
The challenges in the golf industry are many. Declining membership, stagnant profit margins, increased competition, course maintenance problems, among a myriad of other issues.
Don’t let Golf Course Insurance be another problem on the list.
Hidden Liability
Liability of Golf Course Owners
There is a lot of case law involving injuries incurred on the golf course. Injuries may result from an errant golf ball, person swinging a club, falls, and golf cart accidents. Courts have found that in most cases the fault is the result of the person swinging the golf club or driving the golf cart and the golf course owner is not at fault. But, the golf course owner can be held liable accidents resulting from poorly maintained golf facility. It’s important for golf course owners to maintain the facilities and golf carts on order to avoid a claim. Equally it is important that the golf course owner maintain high policy limits to avoid costly lawsuits.
Craig Brown, a law professor at the University of Western Ontario, published a piece in 2007 in Australia by Scribblers Publishing, “Why Lawyers Love Golf.” Their Craig writes, “golf and the law seem to have been made for each other…On every fairway, in every stretch of rough, in every clubhouse, in every golf bag, at every swing at the ball, in every set of plans for a new course, in every application for club membership, there lurks a potential lawsuit.”
With a simple search on Google you can find over 474,000 results on golf course lawsuits.
