Florida does not have any legal requirement that the operator of a car must maintain any insurance to pay for your physical injury, pain and suffering or lost wages, even if they are at fault in an accident. On top of that, as our economy has worsened, more people are dropping their auto insurance coverage to save money. The only way to protect yourself and your loved ones is to carry uninsured motorist coverage (UM) on your auto policy. This coverage pays for your injuries, damages and losses if the at-fault driver had no bodily injury insurance on his car or if their coverage was not enough to pay for all of your losses. This valuable coverage is one of the most important on your policy.   Click here to ger your free books!

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."

Q: What If I Am Injured by an Uninsured Driver?

A: Florida does not have any legal requirement that the operator of a car must maintain any insurance to pay for your physical injury, pain and suffering or lost wages, even if they are at fault in an accident. On top of that, as our economy has worsened, more people are dropping their auto insurance coverage to save money.
