Golf Car Accidents in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge Injury Lawyer
Golfing is one of Louisiana's favorite pastimes, and many enthusiasts flock to courses around the state to enjoy the sport and scenery. Golf carts are a popular accessory for many golfers, especially those with disabilities or conditions that limit their walking endurance. While the golf cart may seem like a safe vehicle, it is surprisingly dangerous and can cause injuries for passengers, drivers or others.
There are a variety of reasons why a driver golf cart accident may occur. Some of those reasons involve inadequate maintenance of the machine, or defective parts that do not function properly. Driver error is responsible for the majority of golf cart accidents. Other drivers that are drunk or negligently operating the golf cart can lead to dangerous and deadly injuries to innocent people. Consulting with an experienced Baton Rouge injury attorney from The Layfield Law Firm, LLC is vital after a golf cart accident.
Golf Cart Injury Claims in Baton Rouge
The speed of a factory golf cart will generally not exceed 15 miles per hour, but privately owned, customized golf cart can have parts upgraded or modified for much faster travel. Given the fact that golf carts are not intended for movement at high speeds, they are not equipped with as much protection and have resulted in very serious or even catastrophic injuries. Passengers of golf cart accidents can be thrown from the vehicle in a sharp turn, or crushed by the vehicle itself in a roll. For pedestrians, the impact of a golf cart moving at top speeds can result in broken bones, internal injuries, concussion or other serious personal injuries. Compensation in such cases can be recovered with the help of an experienced Baton Rouge injury attorney from The Layfield Law Firm.

Should I take a settlement offer?
It is never a good idea to settle an insurance claim before speaking with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney that has experience with injury accident cases. Insurance companies have tactics they use to deny claims, redirect fault, and withhold available compensation. An insurance claim can be a complicated process and insurance adjusters can be intimidating to accident victims. An insurance company may assert that the injuries are not as serious as claimed, and attempt to settle quickly for a low amount.

How do I know if I have a personal injury claim?
A personal injury accident is the result of the negligent, reckless or careless action of another. An accident that occurs from the use of a dangerous or defective product is an example of a personal injury accident.

In the case of negligence, the victim may be eligible for monetary compensation that can include lost income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Beau Layfield and The Layfield Law Firm, LLC can represent a client in court and negotiate with insurance companies to pursue the maximum possible compensation.

Do I have to go to court in order to obtain a divorce?
Filing divorce papers with a court is the only way you will obtain a legal separation from your spouse. This applies to any other form of legal separation, including a marriage annulment.
