Golf Cart Injury

I love to golf and this case was very interesting. According to court records, plaintiff Michael Guerrero claimed to have been injured when the golf cart he was riding in with his mother and owend by defendants Debbie and Barry Fielding flipped over. This occurred at Hidden Valley Golf Course in Norco, California. No negligence issues were disclosed at this time but a settlement was ageed upon by all parties. The minor child was paid $25,000.00. What do you think happened that caused the defendants to pay $25,000?
