It is the principle city of the Dothan-Metropolitan Area and the county seat of Houston County. Nearly a quarter of the country's peanut crop is produced nearby and processed in Dothan.

The top employers in Dothan are Southeast Alabama Medical Center, Dothan City Schools, and Houston County Schools. A majority of students in the area attend either Dothan City or Houston County Schools. According to the FBI, crime in Dothan is well below the national average.

Do not Wait to Hire an AttorneyOnce an injury occurs, it is extremely important to act quickly. This includes seeking medical attention should you need it as well as contacting an attorney. It's important to get immediate medical treatment and to follow-up with your doctors routinely thereafter regarding your injuries. Getting immediate medical attention is also important so that documentation will exist pertaining to your injuries, the severity of the injuries and the treatment you received. Without documenting your injuries at a medical facility, your Dothan personal injury lawyer will have a difficult time proving your case and securing the compensation you deserve.
Additionally, the longer you wait to act, the less information any witnesses to the incident will recall or be able to provide. This will place you and your accident attorney at a disadvantage while working on your case. Statute of limitations laws come into play as well, limiting the time frame during which as case can even be filed. If you are outside the statute of limitations, the case will likely be rejected by the court and dismissed.
