EVAC Ambulance Service has been found at fault for alleged injuries which occurred seven years ago to a Volusia County boy.
The morning of September 21, 2003, a woman experiencing premature labor pains went to Bert Fish Medical Center in New Smyrna Beach. Doctors there conferred and decided to have her treated at Halifax Medical Center. The ambulance however, transported the woman to Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando. Her infant, weighing 1.7 lbs. was born prematurely, 15 minutes into the trip. The newborn allegedly suffered a lack of oxygen to the brain, leaving him with cerebral palsy.
A spokesman for EVAC, was quoted saying, “EVAC paramedics have to care for the tragic consequences of illness and injury every day. We stand behind our paramedics and intend to appeal this verdict.”
