How Golf Cart Accidents Can Lead to Pedestrian Injuries
Golf carts are commonly used in neighborhoods, parks, and private properties. While they travel at lower speeds than standard vehicles, they can still cause serious injuries when pedestrians are involved.
Many golf cart incidents occur in areas where people are walking nearby, such as driveways, parking areas, or residential roads. Limited safety features, smaller size, and reduced visibility can make it harder for drivers to react quickly when someone steps into their path.
Children are especially vulnerable in these situations because they may be harder to see or may move unpredictably near vehicles. Injuries from golf cart crashes can include head trauma, fractures, and other serious harm, particularly when the person struck falls onto pavement or other hard surfaces.
