After a car accident, you should always take these four steps:

  1. Call for help: Dial 911 if you, a passenger, or someone has been hurt, or if damage to your vehicle has left pieces of it in the road, where others could crash into it.
  2. Collect evidence: Photograph the scene and all injuries thoroughly with your smartphone. Get insurance and identifying information from the other driver. Take notes of the contact information of anyone who stops and offers an eyewitness testimony.
  3. See a doctor: Do not hesitate to see a medical professional the same day as your accident. Even if you feel fine there on the scene of the incident, you may not over time as adrenaline wears off, and otherwise, you should still see a doctor. A checkup can serve to bookmark the date of your accident in an official medical record, not to mention it helps ensure there aren’t underlying injuries you haven’t noticed.
  4. Talk to an attorney: Go ahead and text or dial (386) 264-4495, to connect with Adam Clark Law directly. The sooner we hear about your case, the sooner we can help gather the necessary evidence and build your claim if it is a suitable case for our firm. Contact me and enable me to get to the battlefield as early as possible, to enable us every opportunity to win the war and optimize the value of your claim.

Car Crashes in New Smyrna Beach

Anyone who drives this town daily knows its choke points. State Road 44 delivers a steady stream of beachgoers from Interstate 95 and points west, and on a summer Saturday the corridor from the interstate to the South Causeway can crawl bumper to bumper. U.S. 1 — the Dixie Freeway — carries commuters, work trucks, and snowbird traffic straight through the middle of town, past dozens of driveways and cross streets where a single misjudged left turn ends in a collision. On the beachside, Atlantic Avenue and the blocks around Flagler Avenue mix slow cruising, parallel parking, and pedestrians in flip-flops paying attention to everything except traffic. And because just two causeways connect the mainland to the beach, congestion concentrates exactly where drivers are most impatient.

Vacationers add another layer. Rental cars navigate unfamiliar roads, out-of-state plates brake unexpectedly at the bridges, and event weekends push Volusia County’s road volume far beyond what these corridors were designed for. When a crash happens, the at-fault driver may live a thousand miles away — which makes prompt evidence work and a firm hand with distant insurers essential.

Florida law shapes these cases in ways many injured drivers learn too late. Personal injury protection pays first regardless of fault, but only for those who get medical care within 14 days. Recovering fully from the at-fault driver requires proving a serious or permanent injury, and the state’s modified comparative fault rule means an insurer that pins most of the blame on you can erase your claim altogether. These are not reasons to despair; they are reasons to involve a lawyer before the insurance narrative hardens.

From our office on Canal Street, we investigate crashes across Southeast Volusia — photographing scenes while the marks are still on the pavement, pulling camera footage from nearby businesses before it cycles out, and gathering the police report and witness accounts that anchor a claim. When negotiation fails, suit is filed in the Circuit Court for Volusia County, part of the Seventh Judicial Circuit, and we litigate there regularly.

You focus on healing; we will deal with the adjusters. The consultation costs nothing, the representation is contingency-based, and you will always be talking to your attorney rather than a call center.

Frequently asked questions

Your Questions Answered: Guidance on Automobile Crashes

Where do car crashes happen most around New Smyrna Beach?
The trouble spots track the traffic. State Road 44 funnels beach visitors in from Interstate 95 and DeLand, and its signalized intersections stack up rear-end and left-turn collisions, especially on summer weekends. U.S. 1 — the Dixie Freeway through town — mixes local commuters, commercial vehicles, and drivers hunting for cross streets. The North and South Causeways compress everything headed to the beachside into two bridges, and Atlantic Avenue adds slow-moving beach traffic, pedestrians, and distracted sightseers to the equation.
What does Florida's no-fault system mean for my claim?
Florida requires drivers to carry personal injury protection, which pays a portion of your initial medical bills and lost income regardless of who caused the wreck — but only if you seek medical care within 14 days of the crash. Missing that window can forfeit the benefits entirely. For injuries that are permanent or otherwise serious under the statute, you can step outside the no-fault system and pursue the at-fault driver for the full measure of your damages, which is where our work concentrates.
The driver who hit me was visiting from out of state. Does that complicate things?
It changes logistics more than outcomes. New Smyrna Beach crashes regularly involve vacationers, seasonal residents, and rental cars, which can mean out-of-state insurers, unfamiliar policy structures, and defendants who are gone by the following week. Florida law still governs a crash on Florida roads, and we know how to secure the evidence and pursue the coverage even when the driver has long since flown home.
What if there isn't enough insurance to cover my injuries?
We map every policy before drawing conclusions: the at-fault driver's bodily injury coverage, any employer or vehicle-owner liability, umbrella policies, and — often most important — the uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy. Serious injuries frequently exceed a single policy's limits, and stacking the available coverages correctly can transform what a case is worth.
Where would a lawsuit over my crash be filed?
Crashes in New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, and the surrounding communities belong to the courts of Volusia County, within Florida's Seventh Judicial Circuit. Most serious injury suits proceed in circuit court at the DeLand courthouse, and we prepare each one for the local jury that would ultimately hear it.
What will this cost me?
Nothing out of pocket at any stage. Car crash cases here are handled on contingency — your consultation is free, and the fee comes only from a recovery we obtain for you.
