Need a Golf Cart Wreck Lawyer in South Carolina?

As the South Carolina summer unfolds, golf carts are increasingly popular for transportation in South Carolina, and surrounding areas. Once confined to golf courses, these vehicles are now common sights in residential communities and vacation spots. However, this surge in golf cart use correlates with a significant rise in golf cart accidents and subsequent injuries, particularly affecting vulnerable populations like children and those without proper training. Alarmingly, statistics reveal that over 55% of golf cart injuries happen during the summer months (May to September), with weekends and holidays posing the highest risk. Many incidents occur on private land or low-speed roads, potentially leading to a dangerous underestimation of the risks involved. Tragically, in some cases, these accidents can even be fatal, as was recently highlighted by the tragic passing of Jeff Sperbeck, bringing golf cart safety in the spotlight after tragic incident.

As Worker Safety Agency Faces Cuts, the Need for Workers’ Compensation Advocacy Grows

Recent reports from CBS News reveal that the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has laid off the majority of its remaining staff. This development is raising serious concerns among worker safety advocates. NIOSH, long regarded as a cornerstone in workplace health research and safety standards, plays a vital role in protecting workers from job-related injuries and illnesses. As federal support for workplace safety infrastructure dwindles, the risk to American workers increases—especially in industries like construction, manufacturing, and healthcare. Without proactive oversight and up-to-date safety research, workers may face heightened exposure to preventable hazards. This underscores the critical importance of a robust workers’ compensation system. At Bluestein Attorneys, we believe every injured worker deserves access to proper medical care, income protection, and legal advocacy. South Carolina’s workers’ compensation laws are designed to support individuals hurt on the job, but navigating claims can be complex. Insurance companies may delay or deny benefits, […]
