"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.

July 8, 2010 - A man was killed in Clearwater on Sunday night when he was hit by a cyclist. According to reports at 10Connects.com, the 39-year-old man was walking on the Memorial Causeway Bridge in Clearwater when he was hit by a cyclist riding in the opposite direction.

Police say the operator of the bicycle had another person riding on the handlebars, which may have prevented him from seeing the victim before the collision. The Clearwater Police Department also believes speed may have been a factor in the accident. The victim was knocked to the ground and later died from serious head injuries.

The bicycle operator and his passenger were also injured, although their personal injuries are considered minor. The Clearwater Police Department is still investigating this incident, which occurred late on Sunday night. They have not said if any charges will be filed in this fatal pedestrian accident, and there's no word on whether or not the bicycle's operator was under the influence at the time of the collision.
