Request A Call HereWhat was supposed to be a fun night out with friends has quickly turned sour for several customers of Topgolf, a popular golf game chain with locations throughout the United States and in other countries. Several people have suffered serious injuries due to what our attorneys believe may have been negligence. Some of those injured have begun taking legal action by filing lawsuits against Topgolf, and we believe there will be more lawsuits as people continue to get injured at Topgolf locations throughout the country.
Drinking alcohol is a major part of the Topgolf experience for many customers, which can lead to dangerous situations and serious injuries.
In Dallas, Cooper Brown's life was changed forever after a night at TopGolf. During what began as a fun night, things went south suddenly after an allegedly drunk golfer hit a ball that struck Brown in the right eye. He lost his eye in this accident and has since replaced it with a prosthetic.
Another Dallas visitor to TopGolf lost an eye in 2013. Rebecca Brown was reportedly sitting at a table at TopGolf when another intoxicated customer his a ball backward, striking her in the eye. She also lost her eye and had to replace it with a prosthetic.
A third person suffered a lost eye after a friend she was golfing with struck her in the eye while swinging his club backward.

There are many other types of injuries that our attorneys believe TopGolf customers are vulnerable to, including:
Our personal injury lawyers believe that there are a few factors that have led to high injury rates among TopGolf customers.
We believe that TopGolf encourages excessive drinking by customers, and this is the main draw for many people who choose to patronize the various locations throughout the country. The company's branding encourages customers to come hit golf balls with groups of friends while enjoying food and alcoholic beverages.
Some of the TopGolf injuries that have been reported have involved drunk patrons. Alcohol can lead to clubs slipping out of people's hands and striking others, balls being shot off the mark and hitting customers, or customers falling due to an inability to maintain balance.
Our lawyers think there is reason to believe that TopGolf has failed to utilize adequate safety standards that could protect customers from suffering preventable injuries.
Notably, TopGolf does not have vertical nets in place, which could block balls and flying clubs from striking customers. A netting system similar to what you'd see at the lower levels of a baseball stadium could prevent many injuries.
Businesses have a legal obligation to make sure their customers are reasonably safe from preventable dangers. With several serious injury cases occurring at TopGolf, our attorneys believe that this company has shown a negligent disregard for the safety of their customers.
An isolated injury case might be excusable if an appropriate response is made to prevent similar injuries in the future. However, TopGolf has failed to meaningfully address the causes of the serious injuries their customers have suffered. Our personal injury lawyers believe this is inexcusable.
If you've been seriously injured at a TopGolf location in the United States, you may have grounds for a lawsuit against the company. Your legal options will depend on the circumstances of your injury. We advise discussing your case with an experienced personal injury lawyer to determine if your injuries were preventable and caused by negligence.
