Hit in the Circle? We Know It Wasn’t Your Fault.
Confusing lanes, aggressive drivers, and traffic lights inside the loop make Young Circle a nightmare. We know how to prove liability when the other driver says “you cut me off.”
Young Circle (ArtsPark) isn’t a normal roundabout. It handles massive traffic from US-1 (Federal Highway) and Hollywood Boulevard simultaneously. Unlike modern roundabouts, Young Circle has traffic lights inside the flow, stopping cars abruptly while others try to change lanes.
This confusion leads to frequent sideswipes and rear-end collisions. Insurance adjusters often get lazy with these claims, marking them as “mutual negligence” because they don’t understand the specific lane rules of the Circle. At Fenstersheib Law Group, we drive this circle every day. We know exactly how to show the other driver made the illegal move.
The Danger: Drivers in the inner lane suddenly realize their exit is coming up and cut across two lanes of traffic to get to US-1 North or South.
Result: Side-impact damage & fault disputes.
The Danger: Drivers unfamiliar with the Circle don’t expect a red light inside a roundabout. They slam on their brakes, causing a chain reaction behind them.
Result: Whiplash & Spinal Injuries.
The Danger: People trying to cross from the shops to ArtsPark. Drivers looking left for traffic often fail to look right for pedestrians in the crosswalk.
Result: Severe Pedestrian Trauma.
The hardest part of a Young Circle case is proving who had the right of way. Without evidence, it becomes your word against theirs. We use three specific tools to win these cases:
Hollywood has cameras monitoring ArtsPark. We move quickly to request this footage before it is overwritten.
The angle of the scratch or dent tells a physics story. We can prove if the other car turned into you.
Because ArtsPark is busy, there are often pedestrians who saw exactly what happened. We track them down.
Local Tip: Always call the Hollywood Police Department (954-967-4357) immediately. Do not just exchange info and leave. A police report is critical for establishing the lane position of both cars.
Generally, vehicles already *inside* the circle have the right of way over those entering. However, traffic lights within the circle override this. If a driver ran a red light inside the loop, they are at fault regardless of position.
We inspect the “point of impact.” If the damage is on your rear quarter panel and their front bumper, it usually proves they hit you from behind or while merging unsafe. We also check for traffic camera footage.
Yes. Accidents involving city trolleys or buses are claims against the government (Sovereign Immunity). These have stricter notice deadlines than regular car accidents, so contact us immediately.
