    Golf carts are easily maneuverable, small vehicles that often appear on the green spaces of a golf course. You may also find golf carts in closed communities, where residents use them to travel from one location to another easily. The four-wheeled vehicles are highly convenient for short trips of less than ten miles. 

    However, there has been a rise in golf cart accidents over the past decade. According to the Journal of Safety Research, over 156K people received treatment in hospital emergency rooms for injuries relating to golf cart accidents between 2007 and 2017. Approximately 15K people sustain injuries from golf cart accidents each year.

    If you’ve suffered injuries in a golf cart accident, you may need assistance recovering compensation for your medical expenses and lost wages. Golf cart lawyers in Bradenton can help you with your claim for remuneration. Contact Morgan & Morgan to schedule your free consultation today.

    Causes of Golf Cart Accidents

    Golf cart accidents can occur anywhere the vehicle is driven, including golf courses, neighborhoods, city roads, and sidewalks. Golf carts are especially popular in Bradenton, where there are numerous country clubs, like Bradenton Country Club and Tara Golf & Country Club. Several gated communities in Bradenton also permit residential travel via golf carts.

    A golf cart accident can occur for many different reasons. Drivers can make errors, or the vehicle may have a defect that causes an accident. In the worst cases, motor vehicles like cars or trucks fail to see a golf cart and collide with them directly. 

    Some causes of golf cart accidents include:

    • Reckless driving by the golf cart operator
    • Driving the golf cart while under the influence of alcohol
    • Overloading the cart with excess weight
    • Failure to safely park the golf cart 
    • Inattentive or distracted driving
    • Driving the golf cart offroad through dirt paths or steep inclines
    • Malfunction of the golf cart due to a defect
    • Poor maintenance, like failure to maintain brakes or tires
    • Heavier motor vehicles (i.e., cars or trucks) colliding with the golf cart

    Golf carts may have limited speeds, but an accident can result in severe injuries since passengers have little protection between themselves and the ground or other objects. 

    Types of Injuries From Golf Carts

    An injury from a golf cart accident can be devastating. Depending on the cause of the accident, the operator and passengers may face injuries like:

    • Broken bones and fractures
    • Traumatic brain injuries, like a concussion
    • Cuts and lacerations
    • Sprains and strains
    • Burns
    • Injuries to the face or neck
    • Whiplash
    • Damage to the spinal cord
    • Back injuries
    • Death

    Even the most cautious golf cart drivers may be in an accident. Seeking medical attention is essential to begin your recovery and document your injuries.

    I was previously dealing with another attorney and a month passed by and NOTHING got done. I googled attorneys and Morgan&Morgan appeared first and I signed with them and the very next day my car was scheduled to get picked up and repaired and my rental car was provided. My case isn’t huge and they were very informative and provided excellent communication and assurance.
