Are Saying About Us

"The Five Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Florida Accident Case is a must read for anyone that has been injured in a accident in Florida!"

My case was handled courteously and professionally. All of my questions were answered promptly and I never felt anything I was concerned about was un-important. Judi always had answers and took the time to explain. She was always on top of my case when I called the office.

I really appreciated the fact that Mr. Dodson hired a professional expert to measure and make an evaluation about the place where I fell. The whole process was handled very well. Both Judi and Mr. Dodson were very nice and my experience working with them was professional.

I would recommend Jim Dodson to anyone I knew who was in need of a personal injury attorney. 


"I recommend the Law Office of James Dodson.  They were always able and available when I had questions.  They even got me more than I expected right when I needed it most.  I am exceedingly grateful to have had this wonderful group of people helping and getting what we deserve."

15 Passenger Roll-Over Accident | Florida Auto Accident Lawyer

Date: June 7, 2009
Location: I-95
Type: 15 Passenger Van Roll-over Accident

A 15 passenger van,  en route to North Carolina from Homestead, Florida, ran off I-95 and overturned injuring 10 people.

The driver of the van, 23-year-old Donato Flores may have fallen asleep at the wheel, investigators say. The crash occurred at 7:30 a.m.

Nine of the passengers were taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries - very fortunately. A supervisor at the hospital reported 3 of the passengers were admitted.

This crash could have, potentially, had disasterous consequences - simply due to the notorious design limitations of the 15 passenger vehicle - combined with a driver who may have fallen asleep while driving. Falling asleep while driving contributes to 100,000 car crashes, 71,000 injuries and 1550 fatal injuries every year.

Pulling over at a rest area along the highway is the best option when making those long distance drives, and share  the driving responsibilities with another passenger when fatigue sets in. Drive safely and responsibly. Your own life and the lives of countless other people on the roads depends upon it.
