Manatee County Car Accidents:

In Manatee County, busy streets with a large volume of traffic often results in car accidents and motor vehicle collisions when you least expect it. Serious car accidents can be avoided by driving defensively and by obeying posted speed limits. Many Manatee car crashes result from drivers taking their eyes off the road while driving and texting and talking on cell phones and as a result, run a red light. Serious car wrecks often happen because drivers engage in aggressive driving behaviors such as speeding, changing lanes and not yielding the right of way to other motor vehicles. Driving a car or any motor vehicle is a responsibility requiring full attention to the highway. Tragically, aggressive or distracted driving is responsible for many fatal accidents. In 2009, 37 people died in fatal crashes in Manatee County.

If you were seriously injured or someone you know died in an automobile accident caused by a careless driver in Bradenton, Bradenton Beach, Longboat Key, Holmes Beach, Palmetto, Anna Maria Island, Ellenton, Lakewood Ranch or any other neighboring city, Manatee County car accident attorney James Dodson can help. Attorney Dodson represents the rights of injured victims in accident cases and will work to help you get fair compensation for your damages.




Manatee County Slip and Fall Accidents:





Manatee County Pedestrian Accidents:

Pedestrians are injured in accidents in Manatee County either while crossing the street in a crosswalk, in a parking lot or a school zone or while walking along a road. In fact, 13 pedestrians died and 146 were injured in pedestrian car collisions in Manatee County in 2009.

The sad truth is Florida has been listed among the top 3 states in the U.S. for fatal pedestrian and bicycle accidents every year since 2001. Why? There are many reasons including: a growing population, cars traveling at higher speeds and a road use culture created for cars rather than pedestrians/bicyclists, and driver/walker behaviors.

A pedestrian is often seriously injured or killed in an accident when a driver making a right turn does not yield to the walker crossing the street, or when a car hits a walker while making a right turn on red. A pedestrian or someone on foot may also be struck by a car when crossing a road at the middle of a block or while in a crosswalk where they think it is safe to cross. Yet the driver of a car does not stop and runs into them.

If you have been seriously hurt in a Manatee County accident, you may have suffered a head injury, back injury or broken bones including a fractured hip or pelvis. You need answers to questions about what to do now and what your legal rights are.
