Portland Oregon Golfer Permanently Injured by Golf Cart Driver

Portland, Oregon - April 2006 - A Portland area golfer has resolved a personal injury claim she asserted after a golf cart driver ran her over. The golfer has recovered money from the driver's insurance company in a confidential settlement.

After teeing off at a Portland, Oregon area golf course, the golfer was hit from behind by a golf cart. The injured golfer suffered broken ribs, severe abrasions and a broken wrist. The injuries to the wrist were permanent.

The injured golfer retained Portland personal injury attorney Richard Vangelisti. "The golfer in this accident was fortunate that she was not killed as other golfers outside of Oregon have been," said Vangelisti.

The most common golf course injuries involve a golf ball hitting other golfers, including their back, head and eyes. Injuries involving golf balls can occur on the golf course or the driving range.

Golfers who have been injured in an accident have strict deadlines for bringing personal injury claims relating to the accident. It is critical that golfers and other injured persons contact a Washington or Oregon accident attorney if he or she may have a claim. A personal injury attorney at Vangelisti Kocher LLP can provide a free consultation to discuss injuries, options and legal rights.
