"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.

Florida Traffic Accident Statistics Overall Improved

For the 2009 year overall the numbers across the board have revealed a nearly complete decrease in traffic accident incidents. This is the 4^th consecutive year that traffic fatalities have shown a decrease, a testament to Florida's ongoing efforts to increase traffic safety.

Other outside factors include economic conditions, increased vehicle safety standards and features, and fewer vehicles on the road. Efforts by both government and local communities have also aided in traffic safety awareness, drug and substance abuse program assistance, and other helpful programs and efforts.

Continued Florida Safety Efforts

The state of Florida is home to over 12,000 miles of highway, countless rural roads, and runs three of the largest interstate highways. With highways being some of the deadliest roads due to high traffic volume and greater speeds, improvements in highway safety have been a priority for Florida officials.

Florida Highway Patrol logged over 2.3 million activity hours between 2008-2009 in preventative patrol, officer training and traffic investigations. Construction efforts can be seen on many Florida highways to widen roadways, create new route options, and improve current safety features.

Many local counties have been routinely promoting their Click it or Ticket campaigns designed to decrease serious injury traffic accidents and fatalities by cracking down on improper safety restraint use. Local community events for child safety seat installation and pedestrian/bicycle safety have also proven effective in reducing traffic accidents.
