How Dangerous are Golf Carts?
Golf cart injuries can range from mild bruises to traumatic brain injuries, crush injuries and in extreme cases, death.
Studies show that as golf carts are increasingly taken on public roads, more accidents and therefore, more injuries are occurring.
Who is Responsible for Golf Cart Accidents?
It varies from case to case, but it is important to remember that golf cart drivers are not always at fault in accidents. However, if the operator is driving too fast or swerves, passengers may be thrown out of the golf cart. Regardless of who is at fault, the lack of safety features in a golf cart makes the drive and passenger more vulnerable to injuries.
Some of the most common causes behind golf cart injuries are failure to abide by safety instructions. However, that does not mean that all golf cart accidents are the driver or passengers fault.
Questions to Ask Include
- Was the golf cart being driven recklessly?
- Did the driver underestimate the golf cart’s power?
- Was the driver distracted or not paying attention?
- Did the driver overestimate the golf cart’s abilities?
- Was the driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
