.....sounds like an episode of "Boston Legal".....
this has been tried before and thrown out of court. There is a reasonable level of expected risk while playing and players take that risk.
This ball, with my name on it, was not hit by me on the day that I was playing golf two holes behind the injured golfer on that day. He can't prove it was me. There is expected risk anyway. So if it was me, which it was not, then he accepted that he could be struck in the head as common knowledge when he decided to play golf that day.
In fact, the injured golfer should retain my services and we will together sue the golf course for not providing helmets and armour for an obviously dangerous sport.
...my cut will only be 40% of our winnings.
I'm sure the lawyer is well insured. It's interesting, though, that the firm's name was on the ball. Does that mean the firm is liable as well?
"I didn't do it. How is he going to prove I did it?"
Hope he preserved the ball, and did not ruin the fingerprints.
The teacher asked the class what their daddies do. Those who could reported a mixed collection of jobs. Finally, the teacher asked little Susie.
"My daddy plays piano in a brothel!" she reported to general laughter.
After class, her teacher asked, "Susie, your daddy really doesn't do that, does he?"
"No," says Suzie. "He's really a personal injury lawyer, but we're embarassed to tell anyone!"
The lawyer guy says he was part of a foursome. OK then, bring all 4 into the courtroom and see how many perjurors they have. One of those 4 seen that golf ball hit that guy.
