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."

Will Medical Malpractice Claims be Reduced With New Hospital Procedure? | Florida Medical Malpractice Lawyer
What: medical malpractice | medical negligenceWho: doctors | nurses | medical care providers
A recent news article reminded readers that errors by doctors, nurses and other medical care providers cause 44,000 to 98,000 deaths a year. In addition, preventable hospital infections kill 100,000 people per year. The Food and Drug administration further reports, medication errors injure 1.3 million patients annually in the United States.
Some hospitals are undertaking a new approach to improve safety and reduce medical malpractice claims against hospitals. It is called the Care of the Caregiver standard and involves the hospital providing care for the nurse or other employee who has made a medication error. Under this standard, the nurse or other employee who has made a medication error is actually involved in the investigation to determine what went wrong.
This procedure hopes to find a middle ground between doing nothing to hold the employee accountable and being overly punitive, blaming the employee for every mistake. Many medication mistakes involve a combination of a human error as well as a failure of the system designed by the medical community to eliminate the human suffering caused by needless medication errors.
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.
