Hit on the Strip? Vacation Shouldn’t End in the ER.
From drunk drivers on A1A to rideshares blocking crosswalks on Las Olas, we hold negligent drivers accountable.
Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach (A1A) are the crown jewels of our city, attracting millions of visitors. But this density creates danger. You have distracted tourists looking for parking, locals rushing home, and party-goers leaving bars—all sharing the same road with pedestrians.
When a car hits a pedestrian, the driver often claims, “They came out of nowhere.” At Fenstersheib Law Group, we prove otherwise. We know that in a high-foot-traffic area like Las Olas, drivers have a heightened duty of care to look out for you.
The Danger: The “Elbo Room” corner. Thousands of pedestrians cross here daily. Drivers turning right on red often look left for traffic and never check the crosswalk for people.
The Danger: Uber and Lyft drivers frequently stop in the middle of Las Olas Blvd to let passengers out. This forces pedestrians to walk between cars, leading to impacts.
The Danger: This confusing one-way loop catches tourists off guard. Pedestrians often look the wrong way before stepping off the curb because the traffic flow is non-intuitive.
Many accidents on the strip happen late at night. If the driver who hit you was drunk, we don’t just stop at their insurance policy. We investigate where they were coming from.
Under Florida’s Dram Shop Law, if a bar or restaurant served alcohol to a person known to be addicted to alcohol (or a minor), the establishment may be liable for your injuries. This can significantly increase the compensation available to you.

Rental car cases can be complex. Typically, we pursue the driver’s personal insurance first. However, if they purchased supplemental liability coverage from the rental agency (like Hertz or Enterprise), that policy may also cover your injuries.
Yes. Drivers in tourist areas must expect pedestrians to be present. If the driver was speeding, distracted, or intoxicated, they share the fault. Florida’s comparative negligence laws allow you to recover partial damages even if you weren’t in a crosswalk.
