Default Golf Cart Lending
Sorry to hear about this accident. Regarding this accident are you all aware that anytime a neighbor or friend borrows your golf cart with your permission in florida the owner is 100% percent liable for any property damage or personal injury and if the plaintiff's atty chooses (which they will) you will be sued. I checked this out with our agent. It is even possible that your insurance will not cover if the driver was breaking the law i.e. DUI or speeding. Sorry to side track this thread but we have had to tell many of our neighbors who have asked to borrow our cart while we are out of town... "Sorry we can not risk everything we worked for our entire lives to save you the cost of renting a cart for your guest".
