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.

Doctors Amputate Wrong Foot | Florida Medical Malpractice Lawyer
What: Medical Malpractice law suit
Source: ABC News
This past week a team of doctors from Peru made international news but for all the wrong reasons. They made the horrific mistake - they amputated the wrong foot of an 86-year-old Peruvian man. Unfortunately they had no other choice but to amputate the other foot, as well.
The elderly man had been suffering from an ulcer that had developed on his right foot. Doctors ordered the ill-fated emergency surgery when the infection grew. Upon realization of the terrible error, doctors performed a second operation the following day, cutting off the infected foot.
The Sabogal Hospital in Lima issued a statement saying that the doctors involved in the operation were being suspended while an investigation began. The patient’s daughter told Peru Radio that her family plans to file a lawsuit.
If you believe you may have a Florida Medical Malpractice claim, you should contact an experienced Florida Medical Malpractice lawyer promptly, in order to comply with Florida's presuit investigation requirements, and the time limits imposed on bringing a Medical Malpractice claim.
