Two sides to every coin as the attorneys will now litigate.
There won't be any "litigation". It's a simple case of failure to yield, there are no facts in dispute. Cart driver admits to never seeing cyclist. There is no defense for her actions. Golf carts insurance carrier will offer the policy limits. Hopefully there is enough coverage to protect the golf cart driver from additional personal exposure.
