Did you sustain injuries in a Savannah golf cart accident? Did this accident leave you facing doctor bills you can’t afford? Maybe that’s because you can’t return to work and earn the income your family depends on. However, you don’t have to suffer through this alone. If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, a Savannah personal injury lawyer with Kaine Law could demand compensation for your damages.
A day out golfing should allow you to re-energize and disconnect from the stresses of everyday life. Unfortunately, golf cart accidents are not uncommon, and they can result in severe—even life-changing—injuries. However, Georgia law allows people who sustain injuries in golf cart accidents can hold negligent golf cart operators financially accountable.
What Can a Golf Cart Accident Lawyer Do for You?
Under Georgia law, you could demand compensation if you suffer damages or injuries because of someone else’s negligence. However, it’s not as simple as just going to whoever drove the golf cart in your accident and asking them for money. To demand damages, you must prove the four elements of negligence:
- Duty of care: Golf cart operators must drive their cart responsibly to minimize the chances of injury.
- Breach of duty: A golf cart operator who drove at high speeds or while under the influence of alcohol violates their duty of care.
- Causation: You must also establish that the negligent party’s failure to live up to Georgia’s “duty of care” standard led to your injuries. So, it’s not enough to prove they operated a golf cart unsafely—you must show their unsafe operation of the cart led to your injuries.
- Damages: You must be able to demonstrate that you suffered monetary or psychological damages because of the accident.
Kaine Law has an experienced group of attorneys who can gather evidence in your case and help you meet Georgia’s legal standard for negligence. We can interview witnesses and prepare affidavits that detail their recollections of your accident.
In addition, we’ll negotiate with the negligent party in your case (or their insurer), which frees you to focus on healing from your injuries. Finally, we can represent you in court if necessary.

Who Is Liable in a Golf Cart Accident?
Establishing liability in a golf cart accident is an essential aspect of your case. Although the negligent operation is the proximate cause of many golf cart accidents, that is not always the case. Many golfers rent carts for their afternoon rounds, which means the golf course operator is responsible for ensuring their carts are in good working order. Examples of failure to maintain golf carts in proper order include:
- Not inspecting or maintaining a golf cart’s braking system
- Not replacing golf cart tires that have worn down from overuse
- Not maintaining the steering and suspension systems of the golf cart
Any of those faults can cause a golf cart accident. They can also contribute to a golf cart accident along with negligent use by a golf cart driver. So, your golf cart accident may be the fault of a negligent operator and a golf course or country club operator who failed to keep their carts in a safe condition.
During the evidence-gathering process in your case, a golf cart accident attorney from our firm may discover negligence by multiple parties that caused your accident. If that’s the case, we’ll pursue any liable parties for damages that pay your medical bills and maintain your financial health. The important thing is that we’ll follow the facts wherever they lead and hold all negligent parties financially accountable for your damages.

What Are the Damages in a Golf Cart Accident?
Although golf cart accidents don’t typically happen at the speeds of on-the-road car accidents, they can still be incredibly dangerous. That’s because most golf carts don’t have safety features like anti-lock brakes, seatbelts, or airbags. In addition, most golf carts don’t have doors.
These golf cart accidents often lead to severe injuries that result in substantial economic and noneconomic damages such as:
- Medical bills
- Ambulance transport
- Lost income
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Reduced earning capacity
- Temporary or permanent disability
