Loverde Law recently secured a $205,000 settlement on behalf of a client injured after being struck in the face by a golf ball. This case highlights how golf course injuries in Illinois can give rise to valid premises liability claims when negligence is involved.

Can You Sue for a Golf Ball Injury in Illinois?

Yes, under Illinois law, not every golf ball injury is considered an “assumed risk” of the game.

While golf is a sport that involves inherent risks, courts in Illinois require golfers to exercise ordinary care to avoid causing foreseeable harm to others who may be within the range of danger.

This means that in certain situations, injured victims may be able to pursue compensation through a golf ball injury lawsuit or insurance claim.

Golf Course Premises Liability Explained

Premises liability law holds property owners and individuals responsible when unsafe conditions or negligent actions cause injury.

In the context of golf course injuries, liability may arise when:

• A golfer acts recklessly or fails to use reasonable care
• Shots are taken without regard for nearby individuals
• Property owners fail to implement reasonable safety measures
• Insurance coverage is available through a homeowner’s policy or course policy

Even though golf is a recreational activity, safety obligations still apply.
