Clearwater Florida Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Lawyer | Medical Malpractice

Welcome to the Law firm of James W. Dodson, P.A. 
We understand the burdens and the challenges you face following a serious injury.  We are committed to helping you recover from your injuries, rebuild your life, and obtain the maximum compensation for your losses. Our personal injury law firm only represents people who have been injured or hurt in an accident,  as well as,  those who have lost a loved one due to a wrongful death.  Having years of experience working with clients who have suffered as the result of  the negligence of others, Mr. Dodson has written three important consumer guides:  Five Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Florida Accident Case and  Dangerous Trips to Avoid in Your Fall Case and Survivor's Guide to Florida Wrongful Death Claims and When Kids Suffer Big Injuries: A Parent's Guide to Child Injury in Florida. He has also authored, Buying Car Insurance: The Ultimate Guide to Your Protection From Irresponsible Drivers in Florida to educate consumers of their need for uninsured motorist coverage in the state of Florida.

Trust:  We are not a large impersonal advertising firm. We pride ourselves on the relationships we have built with our clients. As a result, our  practice has been built on the confidence our clients have placed in us through their referrals, as well as, on the referrals we receive from other lawyers and professionals.  

Personal attention: Rather than create a high volume law practice based on mass advertising, we limit the cases we accept  to provide you with the personal attention you deserve. You will not be passed off to  case managers or  file processors, a common practice in large advertising firms. We understand sustaining a traumatic injury is life changing and  can be emotionally devastating. We are committed to listening to your concerns and  to insuring the person responsible for your injury fully compensates you for your losses. We are dedicated to protecting your interests while handling your case in a professional manner with compassion and aggressive advocacy.

Experience: Choosing an experienced Florida Personal Injury lawyer is the most important decision you will make. For more than 25 years Mr. Dodson, the founder of the Dodson Law Firm, and his staff  have been successfully representing clients like you.  We are proud of the fact that by limiting our practice to representation of injury victims only,  we have obtained millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for our clients.  Mr. Dodson has received the highest possible rating  for legal ethics and abilities, rating him AV®, Peer Review Rated.*  In addition, he is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a prestigious group of trial lawyers in the U.S., whose membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi- million dollar verdicts and settlements. Fewer than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members.
