Are Saying About Us

I recommend the Law Office of James Dodson. They were always able and available

James is a first class attorney who, with his powerful demeanor and knowledge of the law, maximized a fair settlement for me.

If you have been injured in a car accident, this has probably never happened to you before. You are, no doubt, concerned about all the unexpected problems a car accident can cause you and your family. Worries can frequently include having your car repaired or replaced, getting a rental car, replacing lost income, finding the best doctor for your medical needs, and how you can best get fairly compensated for your injury claim.

Truck Accidents

Truck collisions are frequently caused by driver fatigue, speeding, improper lane changing, defective equipment, or lack of proper training and experience. Truck accident cases require a prompt and thorough investigation of the crash, as well as careful examination of the insurance coverages that may be involved.

Wrongful Death

Losing someone you love is the most traumatic and devastating experience imaginable. Often, when the death is caused by another person’s negligent behavior, you may experience a sense of injustice and helplessness. The wrongful death of your loved one occurred needlessly. James W. Dodson, a Clearwater, Tampa, and St Petersburg based Attorney at Law, has successfully handled wrongful death cases for over 20 years in Pinellas County, Pasco County, Manatee County, and throughout Florida. Many of our clients come from Pinellas Park, Seminole, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Largo, Tampa, and St. Petersburg.

Child Injuries

Because of the emotion involved, child injury cases are some of the most difficult to handle. Some of the injury types are the same as adults, such as auto accidents, falls, and defective products. But many injuries are unique to children. For example, burns, child abuse, shaken baby syndrome, school injuries, daycare injuries, bicycle injuries, animal attacks, and playground injuries are just a few of the cases unique to children. No matter what the nature of the traumatic injury to your child, the dynamics of handling the case will be different from that of a standard lawsuit. There are many factors to consider. You need an attorney experienced in handling child injury cases, and who has a genuine interest in protecting our children. As responsible adults we all are tasked with the responsibility of protecting our children from harm. When our children are harmed or injured, especially by the negligence of another, you want attorneys who can empathize with the family and who you know will advocate on behalf of your child and your family.

Unsafe Premises

Unsafe premises cases come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you slipped on a puddle in the grocery store, were hit by falling rolls of carpet in a department store, or were attacked by a dog or other animal, The Law Office of James W. Dodson, P.A., can represent you and recover money for your injuries.

Slip and Fall

There are building codes and safety standards that set minimum requirements for the protection of the public. Our law firm has successfully recovered damages for our clients in cases involving Florida’s building and accessibility codes, engineering standards, and the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), and the Life Safety Code.

Products Liability

Everyday, we hear of people being injured because of defective products. The news has been filled with allegations of adulterated and dangerous products manufactured in China. While you may know that you have been injured due to a faulty product, you need an experienced product liability lawyer to investigate and prove your personal injury claim. Manufacturers, retailers, and distributors can be held responsible to pay for costs incurred by injuries that are a result of a product defect.

Motorcycle Accidents

Injuries from a motorcycle accident are frequently severe and can include brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, burns, road rash, scratches, bruises, other physical injuries, and death. Recovery from a motorcycle collision can take a very long time. Multiple surgeries, extensive therapy, and long-term care might be required. The emotional and psychological trauma from a motorcycle crash can be permanently scarring.
