Unfortunately, golf carts offer few safety features for riders, and accidents can leave victims facing severe and often life-altering injuries.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Filing a Florida Golf Cart Accident Claim?
If you intend to pursue a golf cart accident claim in Florida, you must abide by the state’s legal time limit, known as the statute of limitations. Typically, golf cart accident victims have two years from the date of their accident to file a claim for compensation. Also, In Florida, surviving family members only have two years to file a wrongful death claim if an individual lost their life as a result of a golf cart crash. Since legal timeframes depend on multiple factors, getting attorney advice is essential.
While two years may seem like plenty of time to pursue justice, acting quickly to protect your rights and interests is essential. If you miss these crucial filing deadlines, you may forfeit your right to compensation for your injuries and other losses. Additionally, critical evidence is often lost or destroyed over time, and key witnesses may move away or confuse important details about your accident.
