Golf Cart Accidents
Many communities in Florida have enacted laws that make it legal to operate golf carts on streets. Golf carts, however, are not equipped with the safety features that automobiles are, and oftentimes the drivers of golf carts do not take proper precautions in driving them.
Under Florida law, golf carts are categorized as dangerous instrumentality, meaning that drivers must exercise due caution because of the inherent dangers of the vehicle. This also means that golf cart owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by golf cart operators.
We represent people who have suffered serious injuries in accidents involving:
- Collisions between more than one golf cart
- Golf carts striking pedestrians
- Collisions between golf carts and automobiles
- Golf cart passenger injuries
Our lawyers are well versed in the laws pertaining to liability in golf cart accident cases and can help you pursue compensation for the losses you have suffered.
