Golf Cart Accidents Can Lead to Serious Injuries – and You Can Get Compensation
Golf cart injuries can be just as serious or even more severe than passenger vehicle accidents, as there is no frame surrounding the driver or any airbag protection. Depending on your situation, you could experience:
- Head trauma: This includes concussion, skull fracture, or brain injury.
- Broken bones: This may mean a broken wrist, leg, or arm.
- Internal injuries: This includes chest trauma or herniated discs in the spine. These injuries are often caused by violent ejections from your vehicle.
- Spinal cord injuries: These injuries range in severity and could entail incomplete or complete paralysis of the lower, middle, and upper spine.
If you require ongoing or long-term medical care to treat serious injuries like these, our team will help you seek compensation to cover those costs.

Georgia Laws That May Affect Your Golf Cart Accident Case
Several laws at the state and local level could affect your case, as Georgia and the city of Atlanta have laws governing where and how golf carts can be driven.
Requirements for Golf Carts on the Road in Georgia
According to the Georgia Department of Public Safety, golf carts are defined as low-speed vehicles that move at no more than 15mph. Per O.C.G.A § 40-6-331, local ordinances may determine regulations for golf cart inspection, operation, registration, and more.
O.C.G.A § 40-6-330 further explains that motorized cart drivers may only drive during daylight hours unless they are safely equipped for nighttime driving.
The Georgia Department of Revenue details additional requirements for low-speed vehicle owners and operators. Golf carts must:
- Be registered
- Be equipped with an amber light to alert other drivers of their presence
- Only be driven on roads marked 35mph or lower
Golf Cart Driver Negligence Can Be Used as Evidence for Your Case
If a golf cart driver neglected to comply with these or other local laws governing golf cart use in Atlanta, our lawyers can use this as evidence to build your case.
Additionally, if a golf cart driver displayed these common forms of negligence or carelessness, this can also be used as evidence for your compensation:
- Speeding
- Drunk driving
- Reckless driving
- Distracted driving
- Failure to obey signage
- Illegal driving maneuvers
- Failure to yield to bike or pedestrian traffic
We can build evidence of negligence from sources such as police reports, local traffic or business camera footage, witness statements, and more.
