Hall vs. Bussjager

Case Background

Plaintiff Elizabeth Hall, individually and as the next of kin and natural parent of Suzanne Hall, a minor, filed the Golf Cart accident lawsuit on May 20, 2020, in the State Court of Cobb County, Georgia State (Case number: 20-A-1696). Judge Diana M. Simmons presided over the case.

Cause

In 2018, a tragic golf cart rollover accident occurred in a Marietta neighborhood, severely injuring a young girl named Libby Hall. The incident took place on Indian Hills Parkway near Fairgreen Drive when Libby's father, Brooks Hall, drove a 2013 Yamaha G29 Drive golf cart. A car in front of them, driven by Christopher Bussjager, suddenly braked heavily to turn into his driveway. Unable to stop in time, Mr. Hall slammed on the brakes and swerved sharply to the right. This caused the golf cart to slide, rotate, and ultimately roll over onto its left side. Before Mr. Hall purchased the golf cart, it had undergone significant modifications. These alterations included a 6-inch lift kit, enlarged tires and wheels that increased the cart's speed, a rear-facing seat, a windshield, a rearview mirror, and lights. Colton Isyk of Superior Motorsports LLC performed these modifications.

Injuries

Libby Hall sustained severe, life-threatening injuries in the golf cart rollover. When the cart rolled over, Libby was trapped underneath and pinned against the road. The weight of the golf cart rested on her body as it dragged her along the pavement, causing horrific injuries to her head, shoulder, arm, back, and liver. Paramedics quickly responded to the scene and immediately transported Libby to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Upo
