Golf Cart Accidents

When electric golf carts were first introduced in the early 1950s, they were primarily used on golf courses as a way to transport golfers around the course. Currently, however, golf carts are used not only on these courses but also in neighborhoods, at other sporting events, and even in public places like airports or shopping malls. As is the case with any motor vehicle, there are a number of potentially severe dangers associated with golf cart accidents.

If you have been injured in a golf cart accident that was the result of a manufacturer’s negligence or the recklessness of another person, you may be entitled to pursue financial compensation through a civil lawsuit.

Sources of Danger to Children

Golf cart accidents can be very dangerous and may cause life-threatening injuries or permanent disability. There are over 13,000 golf cart accidents annually in the United States and only half of these occur on golf courses. Children are particularly susceptible to severe harm because their frames tend to be more delicate and due to their lesser weight they may be more easily ejected from a golf cart in motion. This can create the following hazards:

• Traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord injuries due to forceful contact with pavement
• Fractured bones if one is struck by a golf cart or other motor vehicle
• Internal organ damage or bleeding due to blunt trauma
