golf ball damage

I hit a golf ball off of tee box at a golf course. The golf ball hooked into a parking lot that is parralel to the hole and broke a car windsheild. The parking lot is not part of the golf facility

Am I responsible for the damages to the car window?

Re: golf ball damage

It is hard to say definitively and without knowing all of the facts, but there is a good possibility that the driver or the car assumed the risk that a golfer might mis-hit a ball and it would strike his car. If that is deemed to be the case, then no, you would not be liable.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
