IMPORTED GOLF CARTS CAUSE CRASHES
At www.GolfCartAttorney.com we are seeing an increase in crashes involving imported golf carts from China. In the last few days we have signed up clients injured in Chinese-made golf carts which overturned. In one of those cases the brakes failed after the new golf cart had been checked and then sold at the local Florida dealership. In the second Florida case the steering on the new golf cart failed under normal operating conditions. These two golf cart injury cases are examples of foreign made golf carts, imported into the U.S., and sold by local golf cart dealers in Florida, which failed and caused significant injuries to the golf cart passengers.
How does a person injured by an imported golf cart recover to pay their medical bills, time missed from work, and for their physical injuries? In Florida, a person injured as a result of a failed or defective golf cart can make a claim against three entities: the local dealer who sold the golf cart, the importer who imported the golf cart into the United States, and against the manufacturer.
HOW TO PURSUE THE CASE AND PROTECT YOURSELF
You need to document everything related to the crash and the failure of the golf cart. This is what we at www.GolfCartAttorney.com do when an injured client signs up with us. Second, there is a need to preserve the golf cart in an undisturbed state. If the golf cart is altered after the crash you face an uphill battle proving why the golf cart failed. Third, it is important that an experienced golf cart expert—one who has been to court and testified about such issues—is working on your case immediately. A golf cart expert immediately documents and identifies possible causes of the golf cart failure. This is critical to your defective golf cart injury case. When the golf cart is the cause of the golf cart injuries, the manufacturer is not going to concede their golf cart was defective.
HIRE A LAW FIRM THAT SPECIALIZES IN GOLF CART INJURY CASES
Your case is too important to leave to a law firm that does not regularly handle golf cart injury cases. At www.GolfCartAttorney.com we have been handling cart golf injury cases for more than 25 years. We know the process. We have a proven record of recoveries for our clients. Here is one bit of advice: do not post your golf cart injury incident on social media if you are claiming a defective golf cart caused your injuries. Why? No company wants their product to be publicized as defective. If you post the name of the golf cart, or the dealer’s name who sold you the golf cart you are taking away some of the leverage in getting compensated for your injuries. These companies want confidentiality. If you take away the ability of the manufacturer and dealer to achieve confidentiality about the issue, then you are foreclosing a negotiating avenue toward your recovery. This is also why it is important to hire an experienced golf cart attorney and not just a car accident or dogbite attorney. For your important golf cart injury case you definitely should hire the experienced attorneys at www.GolfCartAttorney.com.
