ANTONIO Sablan has filed a complaint in Superior Court against Kingfisher Corporation, doing business as Kingfisher Golf Links, saying he sustained injuries after the golf cart he was driving flipped.
Sablan, represented by Torres Brothers LLC, is suing the Talafofo golf course for negligence.
Sablan wants the court to award him no less than $300,000 in “non-economic damages for “pain and suffering, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life….”
He also wants the court to issue a judgment against the defendant for past, present and future economic and non-economic damages in an amount to be proven at trial.
He is likewise seeking legal fees and other relief.
According to the lawsuit, on or about June 9, 2021, Sablan played golf at Kingfisher as a customer.
