When a Truck Crash Changes Everything, We’re Ready to Help
Accidents involving large commercial trucks often lead to catastrophic injuries — and complex legal cases. At The Robertson Law Firm, we help victims of trucking accidents across Sarasota, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and all of Southwest Florida recover the compensation they deserve.
Attorney Bill Robertson has more than 36 years of experience navigating the high-stakes world of trucking litigation — from liability disputes to federal regulation violations.
If you’ve been hurt in a trucking accident, we’re here to take on the fight — so you can focus on recovery.
What We Handle: Trucking Accident Cases We Take On
Accidents involving large trucks often stem from negligence — not only from the driver, but also the companies responsible for hiring, training, or maintaining these massive vehicles. We handle a wide range of trucking-related cases, including:
- Rear-end collisions involving 18-wheelers
- Underride crashes
- Jackknife or rollover accidents
- Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
- Poor maintenance or mechanical failure
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Negligent hiring and training practices by trucking companies
No matter where or how your crash occurred, we’ll work quickly to investigate the cause, preserve key evidence, and identify all potentially liable parties.
What to Do After a Trucking Accident in Southwest Florida
If you’ve been involved in a trucking accident, the steps you take next can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. Here’s what we recommend:
Seek medical attention immediately
Even if you feel okay, truck crash injuries can worsen over time.
Call law enforcement
A police report can be a critical part of your claim.
Document the scene
Take photos of the vehicles, your injuries, and any road conditions if it’s safe to do so.
Don’t speak with the trucking company’s insurance rep
These companies often aim to limit their liability right away.

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.
