Do I Really Need to File a Lawsuit to Get Proper Compensation?
The first thing you should do after a serious golf cart accident is to seek medical treatment. This is because it can be hard to notice all of your symptoms right after the accident. Being screened by a physician and being asked important questions can help to rule out more serious internal injuries or head trauma. You may begin to experience different symptoms in the hours and days after the accident happens, and it is equally important that you share these with your physician as well.
All of this starts to build a medical record of how your life has been changed by this accident, and this information will become important down the road. When you first go to your doctor to get treated, you will use your own health insurance, or if involved in a vehicle accident, your personal injury protection coverage in Florida.
You may assume that your injuries are too small to file a personal injury lawsuit, but the truth is that many people are caught off guard by the extensive costs associated with recovery from an accident. You will continue to need medical care until you reach maximum medical improvement, which is the point at which your doctor does not believe you will recover any further than your current state.
Maximum medical recovery and fully recovered are not necessarily the same thing and you may still continue to use things such as physical therapy, devices to assist you throughout your home, and other treatments to help you cope with the symptoms of your accident for months or even years after the initial crash. These costs can begin to add up and can put you in a difficult financial situation even if you had good health insurance. Recognizing this, Florida's personal injury laws enable you to recover compensation after a golf car crash if you can show that someone else is responsible for your injuries.
What Are the Common Problems I Should Know About Golf Cart Accident Lawsuits?
If you were renting a golf cart or using it on a property, there may be other parties involved in the lawsuit as well, such as the owner or manager of the golf cart. Your personal injury lawyer may also determine that there were defective or poorly maintained parts on the golf cart itself generating further questions around liability. Your lawsuit may involve claims against multiple parties, such as the person operating the golf cart or vehicle at the time of the accident, the manager or owner of that vehicle who was responsible for maintaining it, or the manufacture of parts that were ultimately determined to be defective.
With these complicated issues involved, you need to remain focused on your medical care and not worried about the best way to protect your legal rights. Only by retaining an experienced golf cart accident attorney in St. Petersburg will you understand all that is at stake and be put in the best possible position to receive compensation for your injuries.

What Does Settling Outside of Court Mean?
Many personal injury cases in Florida do not go all the way to trial. Although it is very important to work with attorneys like those at Morgan & Morgan, who have the necessary trial experience if that is required. Settlement refers to conversations back and forth between legal representatives on all sides of the case presenting various offers. For example, your personal injury lawyer may submit a demand for recovery of compensation based on your past and future medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses in the accident, or the other side may come to you with an estimated amount in an initial settlement offer.
It is often the case that when the other side comes to you as the victim with an offer that is far too low for what you could accept. They may be counting on you wanting to receive a lump sum and exiting the court system quickly, but you need to carefully weigh this out with the help of your St. Petersburg golf cart accident lawyer to determine whether or not the settlement is fair. The attorneys at Morgan & Morgan are highly experienced in handling both settlement negotiations and court cases. We'll be there to help advise you about possible damage claims and what you can expect as you move through the legal process. We know how challenging it can be to recover from a golf cart accident and we work as hard as possible to maximize your rights and your goals during a lawsuit.
