Introduction
Seventeen years of personal injury trial experience and a stated willingness to take calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week define the operational posture that Robert Anderson has built into Anderson Trial Group. The firm is based in Ocala, Florida, at 603 E Fort King Street, Ocala, FL 34471, and can be reached at 352-619-0995.

The firm handles cases on a contingency fee basis, with free case evaluations available to prospective clients.

Practice Areas
Car Accidents
Vehicle accident cases form a significant part of Anderson Trial Group’s caseload. Florida’s no-fault insurance system requires that drivers carry Personal Injury Protection coverage, which provides initial medical and wage benefits regardless of fault. For injuries exceeding the no-fault threshold, specifically permanent injuries or significant medical costs, a claimant can step outside the no-fault system and bring a third-party liability claim against the at-fault driver. Anderson Trial Group handles Florida car accident claims through this full process.
Motorcycle Accidents
Florida has one of the highest motorcycle fatality rates in the country, and the injuries sustained in motorcycle crashes are among the most severe in the personal injury caseload. The absence of structural protection means riders absorb the full force of any collision. Anderson Trial Group handles motorcycle accident cases with attention to the specific injury patterns these crashes produce.
Premise Liability and Slip and Fall
Florida property owners have duties to maintain safe conditions for visitors. Premises liability cases include slip and fall injuries in retail stores, restaurants, parking lots, and other commercial properties, as well as injuries caused by inadequate security, pool accidents, and other property-related hazards. Florida’s premises liability law requires establishing the property owner’s knowledge of the dangerous condition, whether actual or constructive.
Boating Accidents
Florida leads the nation in registered recreational watercraft, and boating accidents are a consistent category of serious injury claims in the state. Boating accidents can involve operator negligence, equipment failure, intoxicated operation, and collisions between vessels. Anderson Trial Group handles boating accident cases, including those involving serious injuries on Florida’s coastal and inland waterways.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries are among the most consequential injuries in the personal injury caseload because their effects often are not immediately apparent and can evolve over time. Cognitive deficits, personality changes, memory problems, and physical symptoms may not be fully apparent in the days or weeks following the injury event. Anderson Trial Group handles TBI cases with attention to securing the expert documentation needed to fully capture the scope and permanence of the injury.
Wrongful Death
Florida’s Wrongful Death Act provides a cause of action for the survivors of those killed through another’s negligence. Survivors can recover for their own grief and loss of companionship, and the estate can recover for the deceased’s pain and suffering prior to death and economic losses. Anderson Trial Group handles wrongful death cases throughout Florida.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucking cases in Florida involve federal regulatory compliance, multiple potentially liable parties, and typically higher available insurance limits than passenger vehicle cases. Anderson Trial Group handles truck accident claims, including cases requiring early action to preserve electronic logging device data and other evidence specific to commercial vehicles.
Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Mesothelioma is a cancer caused by asbestos exposure, typically from occupational settings in construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, and other industries where asbestos was historically used. The latency period between exposure and diagnosis can span decades. Anderson Trial Group handles mesothelioma and asbestos exposure claims, which require identifying the source of exposure, often from employment that occurred many years ago, and connecting that exposure to the current diagnosis.

Client Focus
Anderson Trial Group’s 24/7 availability and free case evaluation policy address a practical reality of personal injury cases: accidents do not happen during business hours, and the period immediately following an injury is often when critical decisions about how to respond must be made. The contingency fee structure means clients do not pay attorney fees unless there is a recovery, removing the financial barrier that might otherwise prevent an injured person from securing legal representation.
The firm’s statewide reach through its virtual capabilities and geographic service area means that Florida residents are not limited to the Ocala area when seeking representation from Anderson Trial Group. The firm’s handling of cases from investigation through trial reflects a commitment to full representation rather than referral out once a case becomes complex.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contingency fee arrangement at Anderson Trial Group?
Anderson Trial Group handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means the firm’s attorney fees are calculated as a percentage of the recovery and are owed only if there is a recovery. If the case does not result in a settlement or verdict, the client does not owe attorney fees. This arrangement aligns the firm’s financial interest with the client’s interest in obtaining the maximum possible recovery and makes legal representation accessible to injury victims regardless of their ability to pay upfront legal costs.
Does the firm handle cases only in Ocala or throughout Florida?
Anderson Trial Group handles cases throughout Florida. While the firm’s headquarters is in Ocala, the firm serves clients in Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Lakeland, and other Florida communities. Virtual meetings and virtual document signing allow the firm to maintain full client communication and case management without requiring clients to travel to the Ocala office. Cases that require court appearances or meetings in other Florida cities are handled through the firm’s statewide practice.
What is the process for a free case evaluation?
Prospective clients can contact Anderson Trial Group at 352-619-0995 or through the firm’s website at https://andersontrialgroup.com. The firm is available 24/7 for initial contact. A case evaluation involves reviewing the facts of the incident, the nature of the injuries, and the applicable insurance coverage to assess whether a viable personal injury claim exists and what the potential value of the claim might be. There is no charge for this initial evaluation.
How does Florida’s no-fault insurance system affect a car accident claim?
Florida requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection insurance, which pays for medical expenses and a portion of lost wages after an accident regardless of who caused the collision. PIP coverage is capped at $10,000 and applies first. To bring a claim against the at-fault driver’s liability insurance, Florida law requires the injured person to meet a threshold of serious injury, generally defined as a significant or permanent loss of an important bodily function, permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability, significant scarring, or death. For injuries meeting this threshold, the third-party liability claim allows recovery beyond the PIP limits.
What makes mesothelioma cases different from other personal injury cases the firm handles?
Mesothelioma cases are distinguished by the long period between asbestos exposure and diagnosis, often 20 to 50 years, and by the need to identify the source or sources of exposure from employment that may have occurred decades in the past. The defendants in these cases are often the manufacturers and distributors of asbestos-containing products rather than the employer directly, and many of these companies have established bankruptcy trusts to resolve asbestos claims. Mesothelioma cases require legal and investigative work focused on exposure history, product identification, and the applicable claims processes, which differ from standard personal injury litigation.
