Golf Accidents | Accidents & Injury

As a pastime, it is hard to find another sport as popular as a leisurely game of golf. The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine cites 12.98 million individuals are registered golfers with the National Golf Foundation across the country. With over 16,000 golfing facilities and an estimated $24.3 billion spent annually on lessons, apparel and associated expenses, golfers are some of the most avid sports enthusiasts in the United States.

Unfortunately, like any sport the risk of injury is inherent. With the average golfer playing 37 rounds each year, research has shown that in a two-year period, 40% of amateur players will suffer either a traumatic injury or an overuse injury from their game, while 60% of golf professionals will do the same.

Were you or a loved one hurt golfing because of negligence on the course or with a fellow player? If so, you could be entitled to compensation because of the pain, suffering, and financial hardship you incurred as a result of those injuries.

Did Negligence Cause My Golf Course Accident?

Although overuse injuries are a common occurrence on the golf course, it is possible to be harmed because of carelessness on the part of a fellow golfer or the management responsible for keeping the green safe and maintained.

A few examples of negligence that cause golfing injuries are:

• Golf club injury
• Golf ball injury
• Golf cart accidents
• Drunken driving
• Disregard for safety procedures
• Failure of lighting warning system
• Wildlife
• Improperly maintained landscape
• Golf cart vs. car collision
• Defective equipment
• Negligent golfers
• Slip-and-fall accident
• to name several.

The added danger of alcohol on the course heightens the likelihood of an accident occurring. Additionally, if an inexperienced golfer has a poor grip, their club could easily fly out their hands and injure a bystander or fellow golfer.

Although rarely seen as a dangerous sport, golf injuries can be very severe under the right circumstances. Lighting, terrain, and inexperienced golfers all pose a risk on the course, and serious injury or even death can result from any number of incidences that can take place there.
