A tragic incident at a golf course has led to a significant legal battle, with the plaintiff seeking justice for severe injuries sustained. Minh Vo filed a complaint against Fore Golf Operations, LLC in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida on July 29, 2024.
The lawsuit centers around an incident that occurred on November 17, 2023, at Bardmoor Golf and Tennis Club in Seminole, FL. According to the complaint, Minh Vo was struck by a golf cart operated by an employee of Fore Golf Operations while he was near the front entrance of the premises. The plaintiff alleges that Fore Golf Operations failed in their duty of care towards patrons and customers lawfully on their property. Vo's attorney argues that the defendant's negligence in managing and controlling their premises and employees directly led to his client's injuries.
The complaint details how Vo was lawfully occupying a golf cart when he was hit by another cart driven by an employee of Fore Golf Operations. The suit claims that this accident resulted from negligent actions including improper training and lack of attention from the employee operating the golf cart. The plaintiff asserts that there was no contributory negligence on his part; rather, it was entirely due to the defendant's failure to ensure safe operations on their property.
As a result of this incident, Minh Vo has suffered extensive physical injuries leading to permanent disability and impairment. He has incurred substantial medical expenses and is expected to continue facing these costs in the future. The injuries have also caused significant pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and diminished earning capacity. Vo's attorney emphasizes that these damages are either permanent or ongoing, necessitating continuous medical treatment and impacting his ability to perform daily tasks and enjoy life as he did before.
In light of these grievances, Minh Vo is seeking judgment against Fore Golf Operations for damages exceeding $50,001 exclusive of interest, costs, and attorney fees. He demands compensation for medical expenses (both past and future), pain and suffering (both physical and mental), loss of income, loss of earning capacity, disfigurement, inconvenience, aggravation of pre-existing conditions, and overall diminished quality of life.
Representing Minh Vo is Jon Lambe from the Law Office of Jon Lambe based in Longwood, FL. The case is being overseen by Judge Ken Burke under Case Number 24-003342-CI.
