Economic and Non-Economic Damages You Can Recover for a Golf Cart Accident in Panama City
An important part of recovering damages is determining what damages are recoverable. A miscalculation or omission can lead to a smaller settlement than you are actually entitled to recover. Accordingly, we will request:
- Economic damages: Past and future medical bills, assistive medical devices, and in-home medical support. We also request past and future lost wages, loss of future earning potential, property damage, destruction, or diminished value.
- Non-economic damages: Physical disability and temporarily or permanently disfiguring injuries. We also request compensation for physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Wrongful death damages: Funeral and burial expenses, loss of your loved one’s income and household contributions, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship, guidance, and support.
Our golf cart accident lawyers will create a carefully detailed list of your recoverable damages to help you avoid having your case undervalued and underpaid. Contact our consultation team at Ged Lawyers to learn more about working with our Panama City golf cart accident lawyers.
Avoid Overstepping the Deadline for Your Panama City, Florida Lawsuit
Complying with Florida’s personal injury statute of limitations is an important part of your case. Failure to file before the deadline expires could mean you cannot file your lawsuit. While you can still negotiate a settlement, you won’t have any leverage. This means the insurer can offer you whatever it wants to pay, and you’ll likely need to accept it.
In general, the personal injury and wrongful death statute of limitations is two years, according to Florida Statute § 95.11. Since the allotted time can fluctuate, filing your lawsuit on time could be challenging. Our golf cart accident attorneys will take this challenge on for you and protect your right to compensation by filing your lawsuit on time.
Commonly Reported Locations and Causes of Golf Cart Accidents
Golf carts cannot be driven on Panama City roads with a speed limit above 25 miles per hour.
However, an accident, even at speeds below 25 miles per hour, can be catastrophic or even deadly. If another driver’s negligence caused your serious or catastrophic injuries, we can help you hold them liable.
Some common causes of golf cart accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Drunk driving
- Inexperienced drivers
- Failure to yield right-of-way
- Failure to share the road
- Speeding
Our personal injury attorneys will identify the cause of your accident and establish the other party’s negligence.
