Portland Oregon Golfer Permanently Injured by Golf Cart Driver

Portland, Oregon - April 2006 - A Portland area golfer has resolved a
personal injury claim she asserted after a golf cart driver ran her
over. The golfer has recovered money from the driver's insurance company
in a confidential settlement.

After teeing off at a Portland, Oregon area golf course, the golfer was hit
from behind by a golf cart. The injured golfer suffered broken ribs, severe
abrasions and a broken wrist. The injuries to the wrist were permanent.

The injured golfer retained Portland personal injury attorney Richard
Vangelisti. "The golfer in this accident was fortunate that she was not
killed as other golfers outside of Oregon have been," said Vangelisti.

The most common golf course injuries involve a golf ball hitting other
golfers, including their back, head and eyes. Injuries involving golf
balls can occur on the golf course or the driving range.

Golfers who have been injured in an accident have strict deadlines for
bringing personal injury claims relating to the accident. It is critical
that golfers and other injured persons contact a Washington or Oregon
accident attorney if he or she may have a claim. A personal injury
attorney at Vangelisti Kocher LLP can provide a free consultation to
discuss injuries, options and legal rights.
