I have a few questions that aren't addressed in that article, or any other that I read following the Google search.
Generally, I'd agree that if you bought the house after the golf course was built, or the house was built after the golf course was built, then I would have expected that it SHOULD be a case of assumed liability. I'm not an attorney and my knowledge of this is based only upon the most casual of conversations with attorneys.
But, what if...what if the building of the course and the development of the adjacent properties were all done under one authority. Perhaps that authority would be exposed to a negligence suit.
And wondering some more, what if the ultimate authority was one person, but the golf course and the real estate were developed under two separate LLCs...
and my 3rd thought...can jury verdicts in civil cases be reversed by a judge on appeal...I have no idea. I'll ask one of my attorney friends.
