Yes, I handle dog bites. Unfortunately, dog bites are the second leading cause of injuries among children. The vast majority of bites to children occur on the face. Most people in a situation such as yours, would think that because it happened on their property their homeowner's insurance company would handle the claim. However, the claim is actually against the dog owner's insurance company because in Florida the dog owner is held to be strictly liable when their dog bites someone. So the claim is against your visitor's homeowner's insurance. Click here to ger your free books!

"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."
