Why Golf Cart Accidents Are Becoming More Common in Nevada

Nevada’s combination of tourism + golf + resort transportation has created a rise in golf cart–related injuries. Factors include:

  • High-speed modified golf carts used at hotels and large attractions

  • Inexperienced or intoxicated drivers (common in Vegas tourist zones)

  • Poorly maintained carts with worn brakes or steering issues

  • Overloaded carts at golf courses and resorts

  • Unsafe terrain such as steep slopes, gravel paths, or uneven pavement

  • Lack of seatbelts or safety restraints

These types of accidents frequently occur in:

  • Las Vegas Strip resorts & casinos

  • Golf courses across Henderson, Summerlin, and Boulder City

  • HOA communities with golf cart–friendly roads

  • Downtown Vegas event venues

  • Retirement communities in Mesquite, Pahrump, and Laughlin

  • Recreational rental locations near Lake Las Vegas & Lake Mead

If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may have a claim under Nevada personal injury and premises liability law.

  • Common Golf Cart Accident Injuries

Golf carts may seem slow, but many reach 25–35 mph and lack the structural protection of cars. When a crash or rollover happens, injuries can be severe:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)

  • Concussions

  • Broken bones (wrists, arms, ribs, hips)

  • Dislocated shoulders

  • Whiplash & neck injuries

  • Spinal cord injuries

  • Cuts and deep lacerations from falls

  • Knee, ankle, and foot injuries

  • Severe bruising or road rash

  • Internal injuries

Many victims are thrown from the cart due to the lack of doors and restraints.

How Golf Cart Accidents Happen

Lach Injury Law investigates the exact cause to prove negligence. Common scenarios include:

Driver Negligence

  • Speeding or reckless driving

  • Distracted driving

  • Driving under the influence

  • Taking sharp turns causing rollovers

Property Owner or Resort Negligence

  • Poor maintenance of carts

  • Broken brakes or steering mechanisms

  • Unsafe pathways or lack of proper signage

  • Failure to protect guests from dangerous areas

Golf Course Negligence

  • Allowing overcrowded paths

  • Not addressing dangerous terrain

  • Poorly marked slopes or water hazards

Rental Company Negligence

  • Renting defective or unsafe carts

  • Failing to provide safety instructions

If any of these factors contributed to your accident, the responsible parties can be held accountable.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Depending on the situation, liability may fall on:

  • The golf course

  • A Las Vegas resort, hotel, or casino

  • A private homeowner or HOA

  • A rental company

  • A negligent driver

  • An event venue

  • A manufacturer (in defective cart cases)

Golf cart accidents often involve multiple liable parties, which is why victims benefit from the strategy of an experienced injury firm.

What To Do After a Golf Cart Accident in Nevada

If you’re able, take these steps:

  1. Report the incident to staff, management, or security

  2. Get medical care immediately

  3. Take photos/videos of the cart, injuries, and path conditions

  4. Collect witness information

  5. Save receipts, passes, or rental agreements

  6. Do NOT talk to insurance or resort investigators before an attorney

Don’t Wait — Nevada Has Deadlines

In most Nevada personal injury cases, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Evidence like surveillance footage from hotels and golf courses can disappear fast, so acting quickly protects your case.
