Attorneys from Morgan & Morgan filed the lawsuit on behalf of Laurinda Beaver against Rosemary and Steven Ray Pratt in the fifth judicial circuit court for Sumter County on Oct. 12.
According to the complaint, Beaver, who lives at 5853 Julian Loop, was standing outside of a golf cart that was parked at or near a location along Marsh Bend Trail on Sept. 11, 2022.
Beaver says that Steven Pratt was “negligently” driving a golf cart registered in his wife’s name when he “collided with another golf cart.”
The alleged collision caused the stationary golf cart to strike Beaver.
As a result of the strike, Beaver claims she suffered “bodily injury and resulting pain and suffering.” Her attorneys claim she has incurred expenses from “hospitalization” and “medical and nursing care,” as well as a loss of earnings, loss of “ability to earn money,” and the “aggravation of a previously existing condition,” according to the complaint.
Beaver is seeking damages “in excess of $50,000” and is requesting a “trial by jury,” according to the complaint.
According to the court docket, summons have been issued to both Steven and Rosemary Pratt. No additional filings have been made in the case as of Oct. 13.

Insurance agents are very good at scare tactics & isolated worse case scenarios.
The insurance industry is synonymous with the gambling industry.
Here's how this works:
The insurance company makes a bet with you that you
will not have an incident with your golf cart within the next year. You give them your money to hold while betting them that you
will have an incident within a year. Then at the end of that year you make the same bet again...and again...and again...and so on.
Just as in the gambling industry, the house (or insurance company) will always consistently win. Golf cart insurance...it's a sucker's bet!
