More Common Than You Think — and More Serious
Golf carts have no seatbelts, no airbags, and no structural protection. Passengers can be ejected at low speeds. Rollovers on inclines or uneven terrain happen regularly. Pedestrians are struck in communities where carts and foot traffic mix. I grew up in Florida — I've spent time on golf courses and at the beach, and I understand exactly the environments where these accidents happen and who bears responsibility when they do. This isn't abstract legal theory. It's the world I live in.
Who Is Liable Depends on Where and How It Happened
Golf cart accident liability varies significantly based on the circumstances. A golf course may be liable for a poorly maintained path. A resort or HOA may be liable for allowing unsafe operation on their property. A cart owner may be liable for entrusting the vehicle to an inexperienced or underage operator — a more common scenario than most people realize. A manufacturer may be liable for a defective braking or steering system. Identifying the right target and the right legal theory is where experience matters.
Florida Law on Golf Carts Is Specific
Florida has particular statutes governing where golf carts can legally operate, who can drive them, and what safety equipment is required. Understanding how those regulations interact with your specific accident — and how to use violations of those rules to establish liability — requires an attorney who knows Florida law inside and out. I do.
You Pay Nothing Unless We Win
No upfront costs, no hourly fees. I only get paid when I recover compensation for you. If you've been hurt in a golf cart accident in Florida, let's talk about what happened and what you're owed.
