Being a once-in-a-while golfer, I was interested in an article I read recently concerning the rise in golf-cart accidents. Among the accidents the article highlighted: a woman in Indiana died in June when a golf cart being driven by someone who had been drinking crashed into a creek. From personal experience, I can say that a good friend had her shoulder shattered when she was hit by a golf cart while on the course.
Now, golf carts are supposed to be safe vehicles, even as we drive them without much concern all over the golf course (and off the golf path). But accidents and resulting injuries are going to occur, and the questions then arise: Who is responsible, and who is going to pay for the injury claims?
The driver will no doubt look to his Homeowners' policy or even his Personal Auto policy for protection.
