Serious Golf Course Injury Dangers
Golfing is a great way to get outside and enjoy some exercise. It’s also a social activity that can be shared with friends. There’s lots of land and sunshine in Texas, and it isn’t surprising that we have over 900 golf courses in the state.
When you engage in physical activities, you might get hurt. And everyone understands that playing golf can lead to aches, pains, muscles strains, and other minor problems. But the people who own and operate golf courses have an obligation to maintain a reasonably safe setting that’s free of unexpected hazards that may cause severe injuries.

These modes include railroad, marine, pipeline, and highway. If you were involved in a serious multi-vehicle truck accident, for example, the NTSB may investigate to determine the probable cause of the accident. After its investigation, the agency would issue safety regulations designed to help prevent future accidents.

Jaywalking is defined as crossing a street carelessly or in a dangerous or illegal manner. But many people use the term to mean crossing the street where there’s no crosswalk. Texas civil code does not prohibit pedestrians from entering the roadway where there is no crosswalk.
