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."

The Real Way to Reduce Fatal Traffic Accidents in Florida

What: fatal traffic accident | traffic fatalities
Where: Florida
Source: Fatal Accident Lawyer in Clearwater Florida

The number of Florida drivers who died in fatal accidents was at a record low in 2009. Highway officials suggest the decline in the number of fatal traffic accidents may be due to the new seat belt law, stricter enforcement of DUI laws and increased safety campaigns targeted at teen drivers and motorcyclists. 

 A St. Petersburg Times editorial this week stated the number of Florida drivers who died in  traffic accidents would be even lower if our legislature had not killed the ban on texting and driving this past session.

While nearly 2 dozen other states have passed laws prohibiting texting while driving, Florida lawmakers continue to allow this deadly distraction, eventhough research shows texting and driving is more dangerous and causes more fatal accidents than driving under the influence (DUI.)

More motorists are on the road 4th of July weekend and during the summer months. 
Drive safely and defensively!

If you are injured in an accident caused by a driver who was texting and driving or driving wrecklessly, contact a good attorney who represents clients in serious or fatal injury cases to advise you of your legal rights and learn what  to do to receive fair and just compensation.
