I Protect Cyclists Injured by Negligent Drivers
Riding a bike should be safe—but when a driver is careless, distracted, or reckless, a bicycle accident can result in serious injuries. Even minor crashes can lead to broken bones, road rash, head injuries, or long-term disability.
I’m W.F. “Casey” Ebsary Jr., a Tampa personal injury lawyer. I represent bicyclists injured in traffic accidents and fight insurance companies to recover the full compensation my clients deserve.
📞 Call me today at (813) 222-2220 for a free consultation.
There are no upfront fees, and you pay nothing unless I recover compensation for you.
Why You Need a Lawyer After a Bicycle Accident
Cyclists are vulnerable on the road. When a car, truck, or motorcycle collides with a bicycle, the injuries can be catastrophic. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, blaming the cyclist whenever possible.
I step in to protect you, gather evidence, and hold negligent drivers accountable so that you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents I Handle
Bicycle accidents often happen due to driver negligence or unsafe road conditions. I handle cases including:
Driver Negligence
- Distracted driving (texting, phone use)
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Failure to yield or stop at intersections
- Drunk or impaired driving
Road & Property Hazards
- Poorly maintained bike lanes or roads
- Unsafe construction zones
- Obstructions or debris on streets
📞 Call (813) 222-2220 to discuss how your bicycle accident happened and your options.
Injuries Commonly Caused by Bicycle Accidents
Even low-speed collisions can cause serious injuries. I handle cases involving:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Road rash and lacerations
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal injuries and paralysis
- Internal injuries
- Permanent disability or long-term impairment
I make sure your claim accounts for both immediate medical care and long-term rehabilitation needs.
Compensation I Pursue for Bicycle Accident Victims
Depending on your case, I seek compensation for:
Economic Damages
- Medical bills and future treatment
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage to your bicycle and gear
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Permanent injury or disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Insurance companies often rush to settle bicycle accident claims quickly. I fight to make sure you receive compensation that reflects the true impact of your injuries.

A Message From Me

Bicycle Accident Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Have a Bicycle Accident Case if a Car Hit Me?
If a motor vehicle struck you while you were lawfully riding, you may have a strong injury claim. Drivers have a duty to watch for cyclists and share the road safely. I review the crash details, fault, and your injuries to determine liability. You can learn more about how I protect injured people at go2attorney.com.
What if the Driver Says I Was at Fault for the Bicycle Accident?
Insurance companies often try to blame cyclists to reduce payouts. Fault disputes are common, especially at intersections or when bike lanes are involved. I investigate the crash, review traffic laws, and gather evidence to challenge unfair blame. Cyclists have rights, and I make sure they are enforced.
What if I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet at the Time of the Crash?
Not wearing a helmet does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation. Insurance companies may try to use this against you, especially in head injury cases. I focus on what caused the crash and who was responsible. Helmet use is just one factor, not a bar to recovery.
Can I Recover Compensation Even if the Driver Fled the Scene?
Yes, hit-and-run bicycle accidents may still be covered through uninsured motorist insurance or other available policies. These cases require careful investigation and prompt action. I help identify all potential sources of recovery. Do not assume you have no options just because the driver was never found.
What Types of Injuries Are Common in Bicycle Accidents?
Bicycle crashes frequently cause broken bones, road rash, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal damage. Even low-speed impacts can result in serious or permanent harm. Many cyclists also experience emotional trauma after a crash. I make sure both physical and psychological injuries are properly addressed.
What if Poor Road Conditions Caused My Bicycle Accident?
Hazards like potholes, debris, or unsafe construction zones can contribute to serious crashes. In some cases, a city, contractor, or property owner may be responsible. These claims have unique rules and deadlines. I investigate whether unsafe road conditions played a role in your accident.
How Long Do I Have to File a Bicycle Accident Claim in Florida?
Florida law imposes strict deadlines for filing injury claims. Waiting too long can result in losing your right to compensation entirely. Evidence also becomes harder to gather over time. You can contact me through my contact page to discuss timing and next steps.
Will My Bicycle Accident Case Go to Court?
Most bicycle accident cases resolve through settlement, but not all should. Insurance companies take cases more seriously when they know the lawyer is prepared to litigate if necessary. I prepare every case thoroughly from the start. The decision to settle is always yours.
What Does It Cost to Hire You for a Bicycle Accident Case?
There are no upfront fees. I handle bicycle accident cases on a contingency basis, meaning I only get paid if I recover compensation for you. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney’s fee. This allows injured cyclists to pursue justice without financial risk.
Why Should I Hire You to Handle My Bicycle Accident Case?
I represent injured people only — never insurance companies. I stay personally involved in every case and understand the unique challenges cyclists face after serious crashes. When insurers try to minimize injuries or shift blame, experience matters. You can learn more about my background on my bio page.
