Caddie sues over cart accident

A fractured skull, torn rotator cuff and cervical and lumbar damage are among the injuries professional caddie Alicia McFadden sustained in August 2015 as the result of the golf cart accident at Gozzer Ranch Golf and Lake Club.

The 39-year-old woman is claiming the club, its owner, Discovery Land Co., and cart driver David Harbour were negligent and she is seeking punitive damages.

Working as an independent contractor at the course’s Bull Rush Tournament, McFadden was riding on the back of a cart driven by Harbour, a member and tournament participant. Nick Mickelson, then the head golf coach at Arizona State University and the brother of PGA golf great Phil Mickelson was also aboard.

According to McFadden’s lawyer, Michael Verbillis, the men were inebriated and shirtless as Harbour drove the cart recklessly/ Ryan Collingwood , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
