What to do After a Golf Cart Accident
For avid golfers and those who live in a community like The Villages, the use of golf carts is sometimes more common than using a car. The vehicles are small, quiet, convenient, and make a day on the course or around town a breeze.
Florida’s sunny weather and scenery make using golf carts even more appealing. Despite the convenience though, they have been involved in numerous injuries and deaths.
Knowing what to do after a golf cart accident can be overwhelming. Even your rights and legal obligations can be unclear. It is important to speak with an experienced golf cart accident attorney as soon as possible – and the team here at the BCN Law Firm is here to help.
Golf Cart Accidents in Florida
Golf carts are not restricted to golf courses and cart paths in Florida. In many communities, especially The Villages, golf carts have replaced cars as the preferred mode of transportation. Florida’s laws surrounding golf carts and other low-speed vehicles (LSVs) can be confusing, however.
Our team of attorneys thoroughly understand the laws surrounding LSVs in Florida, and how they relate to golf cart accidents.
