Birth Injury Representation for New Smyrna Beach Families
Pregnancy care in New Smyrna Beach can be local; delivery usually is not. Families see their obstetricians and midwives close to home, then travel to the larger regional hospitals — in Daytona Beach, DeLand, and beyond — when labor begins. That split matters legally, because a birth injury case must reconstruct the entire arc of care: the prenatal visits where warning signs should have been caught, the monitoring decisions made hour by hour during labor, the delivery itself, and the newborn’s first days, which for the most fragile babies may mean a NICU far from home. We gather and connect the records from every link in that chain.
The medicine in these cases is unforgiving, and so is the law. Florida routes certain catastrophic neurological birth injuries into NICA, a no-fault administrative program, and the question of whether a child’s injury falls inside or outside that system can determine everything about the family’s remedy. Beyond NICA, the claim must survive Florida’s presuit screening statute, with expert corroboration and formal notice, before any lawsuit is possible. And although the law protects many minors’ claims from expiring before a child’s eighth birthday, the practical evidence — fetal monitoring strips, staffing records, witness memories — erodes far faster than the legal deadline.
What should prompt a family to ask questions? A labor that went on too long with readings the nurses seemed worried about. A rushed emergency C-section. A baby who needed resuscitation, cooling treatment, or an unexplained transfer. A later diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral palsy, or a brachial plexus injury. These children often face years of therapy, equipment, and specialized care, and Florida law allows a properly proven case to account for that entire future — not just the first year’s bills.
Adam Clark approaches this work with a perspective few plaintiff’s lawyers carry: he spent years on the defense side of medical litigation, representing hospital systems and physician groups, and his firm has screened hundreds of potential birth injury claims across the Southeast. From the Canal Street office, he serves families throughout Volusia County, and every case the firm accepts is handled on contingency, with no fee unless compensation is recovered.
If your child’s delivery left you with questions no one at the hospital would answer, we will help you find out what actually happened.
