The Robertson Law Firm
When Negligence Takes a Life, We Help Families Seek Justice
Losing a loved one unexpectedly is devastating — and when their death was caused by someone else’s negligence, the pain is compounded by anger and unanswered questions. At The Robertson Law Firm, we stand with grieving families in Sarasota, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and throughout Southwest Florida to pursue justice, closure, and compensation through wrongful death claims.
With over 36 years of experience, Attorney Bill Robertson brings not only legal strength, but deep empathy to every family he serves.
We can’t undo what happened — but we can help you hold the responsible party accountable and find a way forward.
What We Handle: Types of Wrongful Death Cases
Wrongful death cases arise when someone’s life is lost due to another’s careless, reckless, or intentional actions. We handle a wide range of claims involving:
- Fatal car or truck accidents
- Motorcycle crashes resulting in death
- Drunk or distracted driving incidents
- Defective product injuries
- Dangerous premises or unsafe property conditions
- Fatal workplace accidents
- Medical negligence and catastrophic failure to treat
No matter the circumstances, we treat your loved one’s case with the seriousness it deserves — and fight to hold those at fault accountable.
What to Do If You’ve Lost a Loved One in Southwest Florida
The days and weeks after a tragic loss can feel like a blur. If you believe your loved one’s death was preventable, here are the most important steps to take:
Document everything you can
Save medical records, accident reports, and any communication with insurers.
Request a copy of the death certificate
This will be important for legal proceedings.
Avoid speaking with the other party’s insurance company
Let your lawyer handle those calls.
Speak with an experienced wrongful death attorney early
We can help preserve evidence and begin building your claim.
Know that you’re not alone
We’ve helped countless families through this process, and we’re here for you too.
In Florida, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the deceased’s personal representative — typically a spouse, parent, or adult child. We’ll guide you through every step.
What Compensation May Include
No amount of money can bring your loved one back. But financial compensation can help ease the burdens caused by their loss and support your family’s future. A wrongful death claim may include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills related to the final injury or illness
- Loss of income and future financial support
- Loss of companionship, guidance, and protection
- Mental anguish and emotional distress
- Punitive damages, in certain cases of gross negligence
We’ll help you understand what your family may be entitled to and fight for every dollar.

No recovery, no fee. Just strength, experience, and a legal partner who truly cares.
I was in an accident in and suffered injuries that upset my life. I incurred medical bills that I was not sure I could pay. Mr. Robertson secured me a settlement for more than I was expecting that paid all my bills and left me a nice sum for my pain and suffering from the accident. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has had an accident and wants someone to aggressively represent them and secure the settlement you need.

Bill, his staff, and associates did a masterful job of getting my son a healthy settlement. I don't wish a personal injury case on anyone but should that happen, I don't think you could have a better representative fighting for your well being than the Robertson Law Firm, P.A.
