With over 70 golf courses located in the city and its surrounding communities, it’s no wonder that Naples is often dubbed the “Golf Capital of the World.” Set on the shores of Southwest Florida, avid golfers are drawn to the Royal Poinciana Club, The Naples Grande Golf Club, and the Country Club of Naples for their crisp greens, lush landscaping, and challenging courses.
As relaxing as the game can be, golfers do need to be wary of their surroundings. Players who are driving their golf carts too fast may injure others. With the high prevalence of alcohol on the course, they may drive erratically or not paying attention. While golf carts are designed to travel at lower speeds and are weighed down to prevent tipping, people can get hurt if they fall out or are hit by a golf cart. Statistics show that 70.3% of golf cart accidents between 1990 and 2006 occurred in sport-related facilities throughout the nation.

Golf Carts and Head InjuriesSerious injuries can occur if a person hits their head when falling out or being knocked over by a golf cart. While concussions may take a few days to recover from, serious brain injuries such as blood clots, contusions, and bleeding around the brain can have long-term, and potentially life-altering, consequences. They can impact a person’s mobility, motor skills, and cognitive thinking. This can result in weeks, months, or even years of medical treatment and physical rehabilitation for a victim. They may also require continuing or in-home care. Not only is treatment for the injury expensive, but victims often experience a loss in wages if they are unable to work.
