Understanding Golf Cart Accidents in Orlando
Golf carts are classified as low-speed vehicles under Florida law, but that doesn’t mean they’re harmless. Collisions involving golf carts can cause significant injuries, especially when drivers fail to follow safety guidelines. Spencer Morgan Law represents both residents and visitors injured in golf cart accidents across Central Florida, including cases that occur on resort properties, retirement communities, and private roads.
Common Causes of Golf Cart Accidents
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Overloading the vehicle with passengers
- Sharp turns or excessive speed
- Defective brakes, tires, or steering
- Lack of proper maintenance
- Unsafe pathways or poor lighting
Our firm investigates every angle of your case to determine fault, reviewing property records, maintenance logs, and any applicable safety violations.
Steps to Take After a Golf Cart Accident
- Seek medical care immediately, even for minor injuries.
- Report the accident to local authorities or property management.
- Photograph the accident scene, the cart, and your injuries.
- Collect witness information and driver details.
- Avoid making statements to insurance adjusters without an attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue if the golf cart driver was negligent?
Yes. If another person’s careless or reckless driving caused your injuries, you can file a personal injury claim to recover compensation.
Are golf carts covered by auto insurance?
Sometimes. Coverage depends on where the accident occurred and whether the cart was street legal. Our firm reviews all available insurance policies to identify coverage options.
What if the accident happened on a resort or golf course?
The property owner or management company may be liable if unsafe conditions or negligent employees contributed to the accident.
What should I do if I was a passenger in the cart?
You can still pursue a claim if the driver’s negligence or mechanical failure caused your injuries.
How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?
You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
