Holden Beach Golf Cart Accident Lawyer

Holden beach and its community are home to a multitude of golf carts and their drivers. Golf carts are considered a recreational vehicle by some, but legally they are very similar to cars and are classified as low speed vehicles (LSVs). As they are road-legal in North Carolina and many of its beaches, like automobiles, they require a high level of care and attentiveness while driving. Golf cart drivers should be especially careful though, as golf cart crashes can result in serious injuries during collisions with cars and trucks due to both the differences of speeds and masses of the vehicles.

At Auger & Auger Accident and Injury Lawyers, we have experience in representing golf cart accident victims who have been injured while driving a golf cart or as a result of golf cart drivers’ negligence. We can help you receive compensation for your injuries and damages.

Golf Cart Crashes

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), there are around 15,000 emergency room visits that can be attributed to golf cart accidents, and 40% of accidents involve people being thrown from their golf carts. This can be attributed to the lack of seat belts in a golf cart and the lack of doors or a protective airbag system. Adding to that, only 50% of golf cart crashes occur on golf courses, meaning that a great deal of these incidents involve car-to-cart collisions. Common types of injuries resulting from such collisions and persons being ejected include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Brain damage
  • Broken limbs
  • Internal bleeding
  • Road rash (Lacerations received when sliding across pavement)
  • Dental damage
  • Death
