Stroke of bad luck: NYC woman sues Hard Rock for $500K after falling out of golf cart
It was a stroke of bad luck.
A Brooklyn woman who was injured after falling out of a golf cart is now suing the Hard Rock Cafe & Hotel in the Dominican Republic for $500,000.
The seat of Taylor O’Leary’s golf cart was slippery and wet when she tumbled out of the buggy in July 2022 and suffered multiple unspecified injuries, she said in the Brooklyn Federal Court filing.
The incident played out at the nearby Hard Rock Golf club in Punta Cana.
The 27-year-old Brooklyn woman was a guest at the hotel when she was hurt, she said in the legal papers filed against the hotel and its corporate owner Hard Rock Cafe International.
The five-star luxury resort, set along picturesque Macao Beach, is reportedly a favorite of celebs, including Justin Bieber, Shakira and Mariah Carey.
The 18-hole golf course was designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus.
The green fee is listed at $300.
O’Leary did not return messages and her attorney declined comment.
Hard Rock reps declined comment.
