General Info

When you have been hurt in a car accident, pedestrian accident, bike accident, slip and fall, or have suffered health problems as a result of medical error, you probably have many questions about what you should do next. The place to get answers is Jim Dodson Law. Jim has more than 25 years of experience helping Floridians who have suffered serious injuries and families of people who died because of another person’s error or deliberate harmful act. After many years as a partner in a large personal injury law firm, Jim felt he had to make a change. He had a vision of a different way to practice law—a more personal, client-centered approach. He wanted to be able to know his clients and to be personally involved in every case. He wanted to run a law practice where clients could feel comfortable about calling, where every client’s questions would be answered, where calls would be returned, and where the practice of law was about the needs of the client. In 2001, Jim made his vision a reality by opening his own practice. Unlike the many high volume firms that advertise on TV and billboards and so often depend on quickly settling a large number of cases, rather than working to maximize the recovery for each individual client, Jim is selective of the cases he accepts. Clients are never passed from one person to another. Rather, Jim and his staff work closely with each client and their needs in a relationship based on trust. Jim has honed his skills and knowledge over his long career by taking only personal injury and wrongful death cases. He has never allowed himself to be distracted by getting involved in other areas of law. He practices personal injury law day in and day out and he’s seen it all. He keeps his negotiating skills sharp by continually battling it out with the insurance companies to get the best possible results for his clients. That’s why the Tampa Bay Times listed him as one of the area’s top attorneys and why Martindale-Hubbell gives him the highest rating a lawyer can earn. Jim offers a free consultation to anyone who has been injured in a serious accident of any kind, caused entirely or partly by another person. You may not even be sure you have a viable case, but you have questions you’d like to have answered. Jim will answer your questions and discuss your options with you to help you make a decision on how to proceed, and you are under no obligation to hire him. At Jim Dodson Law, we accept cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you never have any out of pocket expenses and only pay if we win money for you—and we put our no-fee promise in writing for you. Call 727-446-0840 for your free consultation or send Jim a private email telling him about your accident at jim@jimdodsonlaw.com. Your privacy is our priority, and we never share your information with anyone.
