One family in Vista was on the receiving end of a 2 million dollar judgment awarded by jury in a wrongful death case. The widow of a man who died when his golf cart fell into a cliff sued for wrongful death and finally received the aforementioned verdict, over 2 years after the accident took place in May 2007. Although it was determined that the golfer was partially responsible, the family will still receive a sizable reward for the wrongful death accident. Two years ago, on May 22 2007, Edwin Pay, 65, lost control of his golf cart and fell down a cliff, landing into Old Highway 395. According to the claims made in Payne’s offense, the golf resort was improperly maintained in terms of its structure, negligence which resulted in Payne’s death.
