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."

Tampa Police Investigate Post Football Game Crash that Kills One

An SUV leaving the Sunday night Tampa Bay Buccaneers game collided with a semi-trailer at the intersection of Hillsborough Avenue and Himes Avenue in Tampa, leaving one passenger dead, according to local media outlets.  Initial investigation by the Tampa Police Department indicates the SUV ran a red light.

 

27 year old Dustin Alderman of Hillsborough County was pronounced dead at the scene.  Five other people were injured.  Following a Tampa Police Department investigation at the scene, the driver of the SUV, Justin  Jones, was arrested and charged  with DUI Manslaughter.

The driver of the semi-trailer, Felipe Passos, was taken to Tampa General Hospital, where he was treated and released.  The other passengers in Jones’ vehicle were taken to St. Joseph’s hospital.

This unfortunate accident comes just weeks after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Over the Limit, Under Arrest” campaign which lasted from August 15 through September 1, 2008 was launched in an attempt to educate people and curb impaired driving.

 

Our condolences go out to the Alderman family, and the families of all those involved.  Although this office does not practice criminal law, we understand that Mr. Jones is entitled to his day in court and is innocent until proven guilty of the charges he is accused, but often when alcohol is involved, it raises the issue of punitive damages in any subsequent civil suit.
