Car Insurance Company Billings, Montana MT
Reader’s Question:
I live and work in Billings, Montana, and as most of you know, there are, give or take, 10 golf courses in Billings. My windshield has been smashed once, the hood dented once and God knows what else could happen in the future. On both instances, I tried to get the golf courses to cover the expenses but to no avail. How can I get them to pay for the damages?

Why, of course, you can definitely go after the golf courses and demand for payment. It’s your right, and not to mention, the golfer’s fault that the ball flew off the nets and hit your car. But whose golfer’s ball? Reality is, no one can tell. This will be perhaps the golf course management’s same line of reasoning. Did anybody see it when it happened? Can you come up with proof that what smashed your windshield or dented your hood was a ball coming from the golf course? You see, what you want to happen is very difficult, unless, of course, there is a new law in the United States of America that requires golf players to put a name on every golf ball that they use. Otherwise, no one can really tell whose ball that was, anyway. Plus, I think you should try considering looking for other routes to take when driving around. I suppose that’s not the only road that is convenient for you. I mean, I think you have to accept that you’re not very lucky when it comes to avoiding golf courses. Also, have you tried inquiring about this from your car insurance provider? Because maybe you’re barking up the wrong tree. The golf course may not take accountability but maybe your car insurance company will.
