The Hidden Dangers of Golf Carts
Golf carts may look harmless, but they pack a punch when it comes to potential hazards. These nimble vehicles can reach up to 25 mph speeds, and their open design leaves occupants vulnerable to ejection or impact. Add in factors like inexperienced drivers, uneven terrain, or crowded paths, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Common causes of golf cart accidents include:
- Sudden stops or starts
- Sharp turns
- Collisions with obstacles or other vehicles
- Rollovers on steep inclines
- Mechanical failures
- Distracted driving
- Impaired operation
When these accidents take place, the results can be devastating. Victims may suffer from broken bones, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, or even fatal injuries. The physical pain is just the beginning – emotional trauma and financial strain often follow close behind.
The Legal Landscape
Florida’s laws regarding golf carts can be as tricky as a sand trap. These vehicles occupy a unique space between pedestrian and automotive traffic, which can complicate liability and insurance coverage matters.
In West Palm Beach, golf carts are allowed on certain designated streets with 30 mph or less speed limits. However, they must be equipped with specific safety features, and operators must follow traffic laws. When accidents occur, determining fault can become a complex process involving multiple parties:
- Golf cart operators
- Other drivers
- Golf course or property owners
- Golf cart manufacturers or rental companies
This is where Schuler, Weisser, Zoeller, Overbeck & Baxter P.A. steps in. We know the ins and outs of Florida’s golf cart laws and work tirelessly to untangle the web of liability in your case.
