    Tavares is known as one of the top golf cart-friendly cities in Florida. Under local law, anyone over 16 can drive a golf cart along the town’s roads. You can drive one after sundown if the golf cart is adequately equipped with lights and turn signals.

    While Tavares has many residents who drive golf carts on and off the golf course, the vehicles aren’t as safe as other automobiles. There’s no protection between the passengers in the cart and whatever is outside. A collision can result in severe injuries.

    If you’ve been in a golf cart accident that was someone else’s fault, you may need help recovering damages to pay for your medical bills and lost wages. Golf cart accident lawyers in Tavares are ready to help you.

    The Dangers of Golf Carts

    While most people believe golf carts are relatively safe, they can be hazardous, especially when driven on the open road. 

    A golf cart is smaller than cars and trucks. Other drivers can easily overlook the golf cart, especially when they aren’t paying close attention to the road. Most golf carts travel at speeds less than 20 mph, so it’s difficult for them to maneuver through traffic. They may hold up other vehicles that aren’t supposed to pass them on two-way streets.

    Golf carts don’t have airbags, and most don’t come with seatbelts. Drivers or passengers in a collision with other vehicles may be thrown from the vehicle, resulting in severe injuries.

    State law doesn’t mandate regular inspections of golf carts, and their brakes and tires tend to wear out quickly. Owners who don’t properly maintain their carts may find them more susceptible to accidents.

    Florida distinguishes between golf carts and low-speed vehicles (LSVs). An LSV must have a speed exceeding 20 mph but no more than 25 mph. If the golf cart fits into the LSV category, the owner must have a driver’s license to operate it and also purchase insurance. 

    Golf cart owners whose vehicles do not exceed 20 mph are not required to have insurance. However, without insurance, you risk financial disaster, especially if you’re in a collision or experience serious injuries.

    According to a Journal of Safety Research study, approximately 15,000 accidents involving golf carts happen every year. Since Florida has favorable laws toward golf carts operating on golf courses and city roads, many golf cart accidents happen in the state.

    A golf cart accident can result in minor to severe injuries, including:

    • Burns
    • Whiplash
    • Neck injuries
    • Broken bones
    • Bumps and bruises
    • Muscle strains and sprains
    • Cuts and lacerations
    • Traumatic brain injuries
    • Spinal cord damage
    • Soft tissue damage

    Any individual involved in a golf cart accident should seek medical attention.
