Abstract

The article presents a court case in which a Miami-Dade County trial court ruled that golf cart owners are liable for damages if they lend their golf carts and their drivers negligently cause injuries. In the case Gonzales v. Chiong, the court held that cart owners are liable and awarded over 50 million dollars in damages to the victim. Other topics include the Florida laws governing the use of golf carts.
