What Are Some Common Snowbird Accidents?

Many of these accidents can occur in your hometown too, and many involve motor vehicle-related accidents, golf-related accidents or home accidents. Often, these accidents arise out of being in an unfamiliar location and therefore, having a lack of awareness of the surrounding environment and conditions. If you are in a car accident, for example, it may be because you are a snowbird who may not be confident in driving in a new place and could cause an accident as a result.

Alternatively, the usual reasons for accidents on the roads such as fatigue, distractions and driving under the influence are factors that influence poor driving all over the world.

Golf cart accidents are also a common cause of personal injury for snowbirds and in Arizona, you must have a driver's license, registration and insurance coverage. Golf carts are not permitted to drive as fast as cars, but they can still cause damage to individuals who are involved in accidents. If you’ve been struck by a golf cart or have sustained injuries due to a defective vehicle, there is a likelihood you are eligible to be compensated.

Rental properties are another location whereby snowbirds can be injured. There are laws in Arizona that instill rental home requirements and standards that make the home safe for families to live in. If someone is hurt as a result of the property not meeting these standards out of negligence, you could receive economic damages for your loss.

What Type of Injuries May Be Sustained in These Accidents?

Car accidents and golf cart accidents typically result in severe injuries such as broken bones, lacerations, bruising, or head injuries in serious cases.

Injuries related to rental properties may include broken bones due to substandard flooring, lack of fire safety equipment resulting in house fires, severe burns, or death, and anything else of danger in the home which results in personal injury.

You may also experience psychological trauma from these accidents, or poor mental health as a result of no longer being able to participate in life as you usually would.
