Unconventional Vehicle Accidents in Sussex County
Accidents involving golf carts and other small recreational vehicles are becoming increasingly common in both residential and rural communities, including in areas like Laurel. These vehicles, while useful for transportation on private property or within neighborhoods, often lack the safety features of full-sized vehicles and pose heightened risk during rollovers or sudden stops.
When someone is pinned under a golf cart, injuries can include crush trauma, broken limbs, and internal damage—particularly if the vehicle lands on the chest or abdomen. Quick action by first responders is essential to prevent further injury and stabilize the victim for transport.
For victims and families, the aftermath can be emotionally and financially overwhelming. Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and possible legal follow-up often follow such incidents, especially if negligence or unsafe conditions played a role.
