Personal Injury: While driving next to a golf course that had no fencing, my car’s window was cracked by a golf ball. The manager of the course claims no liability and told me that it is the person who hit the ball who is liable. This person is impossible to find. Can I sue?

Sure. A golf course owner is generally responsible for designing a course that minimizes the risk players or non-playing bystanders have of being hit by golf balls (e.g., fairways, fences). Or to provide protection (e.g., barrier of trees) where the greatest danger exists and where the occurrence is reasonably foreseeable. It’s foreseeable that a player would hit a ball into the street, and strike a vehicle. Therefore, it would be negligent of the course owner not to protect against such a foreseeable occurrence.
