For retirement communities and recreational golfers, golf carts make a day outside reliable and easy. Golf carts may be used to sightsee at parks, feed birds, and other activities. The use of golf carts are enjoyable for those who want to bask in sunny weather and relaxing scenery. However, these compact vehicles could be potentially dangerous, leaving people with serious injuries that require medical attention. Our Largo, FL golf cart injury lawyer can meet with you to explain all of your legal options and which route is right for you. Ultimately, the goal would be to get you compensation for your injuries and losses that resulted from the accident. If you would like to know more, contact us at Mickey Keenan P.A. for a consultation.
Why Golf Cart Accidents Happen
There are many reasons why a golf cart accident or malfunction may happen. These motor carts are used on golf courses, roadways, and public paths. Primarily, golf cart crashes tend to affect the elderly and children. But anyone of any age can get injured. Unlike automobiles, golf carts do not have airbags, seatbelts, or turn signals which means they lack common safety features. As our Largo golf cart injury lawyer explains, contributing factors for these incidents may include:
- Overcrowding (too many people on the cart)
- Collisions between two golf carts
- Sharp turns and reversals
- Golf carts being struck by cars while crossing
- Wet, slippery, or icy roads
- Pedestrians getting hit by golf cart drivers
- Passengers tossed from carts or pinned when tipped over
- Distractions while driving (drinking, eating, texting, etc.)
- The golf cart was defectively designed/manufactured
- The golf cart was not properly maintained (negligence)
- The property owner failed to fix dangerous condition on-site
