ATTORNEYS FOR GOLF CART INJURY CASES
Why should you choose an attorney who has handled golf cart injury cases in the past? It’s the same question as to whether you want a doctor performing surgery on you who has never performed an operation prior to yours, or do you want a doctor who has successfully handled that type of surgery for years. The truth is the law that governs golf carts is different than that for automobiles. What law applies to your golf cart injury case depends upon, in part, what type of golf cart was involved in your incident. For instance, was the golf cart involved in your incident one with a top speed of 20 mph? Was it a golf cart known as a “Low Speed Vehicle”, whose top legal speed is 25 mph? If the golf cart involved in your injury incident was a Low Speed Vehicle, did it have all of the mandatory equipment required by law?
Was the driver of the golf cart negligent in causing injury to you? Was the driver operating the golf cart in a place that was approved for golf cart travel? These are several questions that a dog-bite or auto accident attorney are probably not going to know. Here at www.GolfCartAttorney.com (The Law Offices of Frank D. Butler, PA) we have been handling golf cart injury cases for more than 20 years.
HERE ARE THE TYPICAL TYPES OF GOLF CART INJURY CASES WE SEE
At www.GolfCartAttorney.com here are some of the usual types of golf cart injury cases we see:
- Golf carts being stuck by motor vehicles. This can be a combination of fault on the part of the golf cart driver and upon the driver of the vehicle. Each case depends on its specific facts.
- Golf cart rollovers. Unfortunately, this particular type of golf cart injury case often produces severe injury cases, and we have handled even death cases that arise from a golf cart rollover.
- Golf Cart ejection cases. The emergency rooms know this one, most people don’t. First, many golf carts are not equipped with seatbelts. Second, even when seatbelts are available, some people do not use them. Third, Golf Cart ejection cases most often happen when the driver takes an unexpected sharp left turn; the centrifugal force causes the right-side passenger to be ejected over the right arm rest—which acts as a fulcrum and ejects the passenger, often onto pavement.
- Golf cart versus Golf cart crashes. This one is self-explanatory.
- Golf carts striking pedestrians or bicyclists. In Florida the use of multi-modal paths, especially in locations like The Villages, places many types of transportation and people in one small space.
- Runners-up include: steering failure of the golf cart, lift kits which raise the center of gravity and accessories which make the golf cart less safe, and we see malfunctioning of the golf cart attributable to the product liability on the manufacturer.
