Umbrella ยท Oro Valley, AZ

Umbrella insuranceand the shot that went wrong.

Oro Valley is built around golf, and the liability of playing it is the mirror of living beside it. A ball that injures somebody is a claim against the player, and the player is usually surprised to learn it.

Injuring someone with a golf ball is a personal liability claim. Whether it was an accident is not the whole question.

Common Issues We Solve

What an umbrella does for an Oro Valley household

Three things about liability on a course.

A struck player is a serious injury claim

A golf ball carries enough energy to cause lasting harm, and head injuries from errant shots are the reason this is not a trivial subject. The claim is made against the player, and personal liability on the homeowners policy is the first thing standing behind it.

Carts cause more claims than balls do

Cart accidents, particularly with passengers and on slopes, are a common source of injury. Whether a club-owned cart, a privately owned one or a personal cart is involved changes which policy responds, and the answer is not always obvious.

Personal liability follows you to the course

It is not limited to your property, which is the useful part. The limitation is the limit itself, usually set years ago at whatever was offered, and an umbrella above it is the inexpensive correction.

FAQ

Umbrella questions from Oro Valley

I hit someone with a golf ball. Am I liable?
Potentially, and the claim is made against you personally. Personal liability on your homeowners policy generally responds, because it follows you away from your property. A serious head injury can exceed a standard limit, which is where the umbrella matters.
What about a cart accident?
It depends on whose cart it was. A club cart, a privately owned cart and a personal cart kept at home are three different answers. It is worth establishing which applies before relying on any of them.
Does shouting a warning protect me?
It is the right thing to do and it is not a legal shield. Whether a claim succeeds turns on the circumstances. Insurance is what actually answers, which is why the limit is the part worth attending to.
