What Types of Golf Cart Accidents Warrant Legal Action?
You may bring a lawsuit for a golf cart accident if the following events happen:
A Motor Vehicle Struck the Golf Cart That You Were Driving or Riding in
Golf carts can operate in close proximity to motor vehicles. If a motor vehicle operator strikes a golf cart you were driving or riding in, then that motorist may be liable for your damages.
A Golf Cart Driver Injured You Through Negligent Actions
A golf cart driver can be liable if their reckless actions injured you as a passenger. Dangerous driving practices or illegal operation of a golf cart can lead to passenger injuries.
A Defective Golf Cart Caused Your Accident
A golf cart manufacturer or seller can be liable for damages caused by a defect. Findings from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) show that specific golf carts contain dangerous design flaws.
A Golf Cart Driver Struck You
Golf carts can cause significant injuries when they strike pedestrians, bicyclists, or scooter riders. You could receive compensation if a golf cart driver struck you or a loved one.
A lawyer from our firm can get to work on your golf cart accident case. They will gather all the facts of your accident, determine liability, and pursue fair awards.
We Can Diagnose Liability for Your Golf Cart Accident
When a golf cart accident happens, at least one party has responsibility. Per Florida Statute § 316.212, golf cart drivers must only operate their cart on permitted roadways. Drivers must be alert and sober and are generally responsible when they overturn the cart or cause a collision.
Golf cart manufacturers and sellers are responsible for the safety of their products. They can be liable when their defective golf cart causes an accident.
Motor vehicle operators are also responsible for their own actions. Distraction, intoxication, and carelessness can make them responsible for your golf cart accident. Our team will determine who has responsibility – known as liability – for your golf cart accident.
