Phoenix Golf Cart Accident Attorney

On and off the greens, golf carts are a common means of transportation in Phoenix, Arizona. Under state law, golf carts are considered motor vehicles and are seen riding alongside other vehicles on the road. This has led to a greater risk of golf cart accidents than the national average.

In many cases, incidents involving golf carts may be traced back to driver negligence. You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and property damage if you can show that the other party’s carelessness was to blame for your accident. 

Contact a Phoenix golf cart accident lawyer from Zanes Law who will help you get deserved compensation for your injuries.

Determining Liability in a Golf Cart Accident in Phoenix

In a golf cart accident resulting in significant injuries, the injured person may be entitled to compensation. Suppose you’ve been injured in an accident and want compensation for your losses. In that case, you’ll generally file an insurance claim or lawsuit against the responsible party. The negligent party may be held responsible for compensating you. 

Our Phoenix golf cart accident attorneys can help determine liability in your case. The following entities can be held liable for your injuries in a golf cart accident:

• Golf cart operator: Golf cart mishaps are often the result of careless driving. Due to the misperception that golf cart passengers cannot experience as severe injuries as motor vehicle passengers, impaired driving is widespread.
• Owner of the golf cart: The golf cart’s owner might be held accountable for the vehicle’s failure to work properly due to a defective component. It is the responsibility of the cart’s owner to examine, repair, and appropriately maintain the golf cart.
• The manufacturing company: In certain cases, golf cart mishaps result from a manufacturer’s flaw. It might lead to dangerous situations like tire blowouts or rollovers while driving the golf cart.
• The golf course: Golf course owners may be held responsible for driving accidents due to a property condition. When an accident occurs on the course, a damaged cart route or absence of warning signs regarding a danger might indicate that the golf course is responsible.

In Arizona, third parties may also be held accountable for a golf cart accident. Depending on the circumstances, a golf cart accident may be the responsibility of many parties, including the driver(s), the landowner(s), and the manufacturing company.

Since the laws are similar to that of other vehicles, you can get legal advice from a car accident lawyer who has experience in dealing with golf cart accident cases. After we’ve located the responsible party, we’ll submit a claim and take care of legal proceedings on your behalf.
