Common Accidents

Golf Carts Are Not Toys

In Aventura, golf carts are a primary mode of transportation. Residents use them to travel between **Williams Island**, the **JW Marriott Turnberry**, and local synagogues. However, these vehicles often lack basic safety features like seatbelts, airbags, and doors.

When a golf cart is hit by a car—or flips over due to a sharp turn—the occupants are often ejected onto the pavement. The resulting injuries (traumatic brain injuries, road rash, broken bones) are severe. At Fenstersheib Law Group, we understand the specific laws regarding “Low Speed Vehicles” (LSVs) versus standard golf carts in Florida.

Where Golf Cart Accidents Happen

Country Club Drive (The Circle)

The Hazard: Carts sharing the road with speeding SUVs. Drivers often try to cross the circle illegally or make U-turns, leading to T-bone collisions.

Rollovers on the Course

The Hazard: Sharp turns on steep cart paths at Turnberry. If the path was poorly maintained (potholes/tree roots) or the brakes failed, the Country Club may be liable.

Ejection Accidents

The Hazard: Passengers (often children) falling out because the driver took a turn too fast. Without seatbelts, the passenger hits the asphalt with full force.

Finding Coverage: The “Insurance Maze”

The biggest challenge in golf cart cases is insurance. Standard auto insurance policies often exclude golf carts unless a specific rider was purchased.

However, we know where else to look. We often find coverage through:

  • Homeowners’ Insurance: Many policies cover the driver’s negligence if the accident happens within their residential community.
  • Commercial Liability: If the cart was rented or owned by a Country Club/HOA, their business policy is the primary target.
  • Vicarious Liability: If a parent allowed an underage unlicensed child to drive, the parents are fully liable for the damage caused.

Golf Cart Injury FAQs

Can I get a DUI on a golf cart in Aventura?
Yes. In Florida, you can be arrested for DUI on a golf cart or bicycle. If a drunk driver hit you with their cart, we can sue for punitive damages in addition to your medical bills.
My child was injured while riding in a friend’s cart. Who pays?
The parents of the child who was driving (or the owner of the cart) are typically liable. We pursue their Homeowners’ Insurance policy to cover your child’s medical treatment.
Do golf carts have to follow traffic laws?
Yes. Carts on public roads like Country Club Drive must obey all stop signs and traffic signals. Failure to yield right-of-way is the leading cause of cart accidents.
