GOLFER MURDERED ON A COUNTRY CLUB GOLF COURSE
South Florida Attorneys have filed numerous cases of civil liability for negligent or criminal acts that arise out of a resort, vacation or recreational setting. They can encompass a vast array of types of cases but they all have one thing in common: Tourists, business travelers and locals alike are all exposed to risk while traveling, vacationing or engaging in retreat activities, particularly because they are focused on relaxing and enjoying their leisure activities and pleasant surroundings.
South Florida is a resort destination, and due to our year round perfect weather this promotes all kinds of resort activities, these torts occur with great frequency here. Tourists are less attentive to dangers because they are in a strange place and are focused on enjoying the surroundings.
A 35-year-old man, was playing golf with a friend one evening and near the 17th hole, two masked man stepped out of the bushes and attempted to rob them. The 35-year-old man was shot in the back. His friend was was not injured. Although the gunshot victim was rushed to North Broward Medical Center by Fire Rescue he died a few days later. Are golf courses responsible for security or safety of the players?
With an abundance of resorts and golf courses across Broward County, in cities such as Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Sunrise and Davie to name a few, negligent premises security is a serious matter and is sometimes a factor in incidents that occur at resort and recreational facilities including hotels, amusement parks, nightclubs, casinos, etc. Negligent security and safety measures can give way to injuries, criminal acts and violent attacks.
