Re: ran over by a golf cart at work

As your workers' compensation attorney may have told you, negligence--even gross negligence--by a co-worker does not overcome the "exclusive remedy" rule. Workers' comp is probably all you're entitled to, even if you could prove that the co-worker intended to hit you (which as you said, you can't), because the law requires that she specifically intended to injure you. That's an almost impossible standard to meet.
