Wounded? World-class Los Angeles accident lawyer Michael Ehline stands ready to take your important call to get you maximum compensation for your injuries or a death in your family.
Things could be far worse for John Dodson, so he let everyone know, reminded them how precious life was, and related how luck played a role in keeping John Dodson alive. So even though he mised his South Carolina fight card, he will live to see another day!
John Dodson’s manager, Ricky Kottenstette announced the news and even started a GoFundMe campaign to help the family with healthcare and other expenditures. Fighter, John Dodson received much support after the tragic auto accident from his fans through the GoFundMe page.
He said: “Life is short, and you don’t know when it’s gonna end,” … “So enjoy it while you can.”
He went on to talk about liability and fault, stating:
“The car we hit was left in the middle of the highway after that person hit an 18 wheel and another car crashed into it as well. He had no hazzards light [sic.], no flares, and no other warning to let us know. I hit the car, and we rolled. I don’t know how many times, but luckily the cables in the median stopped us from rolling onto traffic going the other direction. The guy fled on foot after he saw my vehicle rolled…”
But they will still have medical bills to rule out whether no one is seriously injured and need financial assistance to cover hospital and other recovery expenses from the devastating rollover. At least we know John Dodson will live to see another day based on the information so far!
MMA champion, Jogn Dodson also indicated that the guy fled on foot after seeing Dodson’s vehicle rolled en route to Texas for a vacation with his wife and kids.
“Just letting everyone know we’re all alive and no one is seriously injured. The car we hit was left in the middle of the highway after that person hit an 18 wheel, and another car crashed into it as well. He had no hazard lights, no flares, and no other warning to let us know. I hit the car, and we rolled. I don’t know how many times, but luckily the cables in the median stopped us from rolling onto traffic going the other direction. The guy fled on foot after he saw my vehicle roll. I gotta thank infinite for the design of the SUV cuz it protected my family and me from dying. We’re just lucky no one died, and we can live to see another day and be reminded of how lucky we are. Life is short, and you don’t know when it’s gonna end, so enjoy it while you can.
