There is something uniquely difficult about the pain of wrongful death. In addition to the unexpected loss of a loved one, you may also be experiencing anger at the senselessness of it all. You may also be worried about how you will cover medical and funeral expenses, perhaps with less income if your loved one worked.

I am attorney Bill Robertson, and, as a family man, I understand how devastating it can be to lose a family member. I have firsthand experience in dealing with tremendous grief after losing my brother due to medical negligence, which is why I fight so hard for my clients when they are going through a wrongful death suit. I am not just a lawyer but also a counselor to guide you through this challenging process. My goal is to try to take the burden off of your shoulders as much as I can. I tell my clients that their only job after leaving my office is to heal and that their legal worries are now my responsibility to deal with on their behalf.

Over my 36 years of practicing law, I have handled dozens of wrongful death claims in Florida, including those that involve vehicle accidents. Due to the especially serious nature of drunk driving accidents and truck and commercial vehicle accidents, I have handled many of these types of cases. I know how to prove negligence by investigating the accident, sometimes working with accident reconstruction experts, medical experts and others. Whether the driver was distracted, drunk, speeding or otherwise negligent, I can build a strong case for you to receive compensation.

My clients commonly need rely on financial compensation to cover losses such as:

• Medical bills from the accident
• Lost income and benefits of the deceased
• Pain and suffering of the deceased
• Emotional trauma of the surviving family members
• Funeral and burial expenses
• The personal loss of a loved one (guidance, companionship and protection)
• The loss of support and contributions to the household from the deceased

Each case is different, so it is best to talk to a lawyer about what you may recover based on your specific circumstances.
