I Take On Trucking Companies and Their Insurers for Injured Victims
Truck accidents are not like ordinary car crashes. When an 18-wheeler or commercial truck causes a serious collision, the injuries are often catastrophic—and the insurance companies respond immediately with teams of lawyers working to protect the trucking company, not you.
I’m W.F. “Casey” Ebsary Jr., a Tampa truck accident lawyer. I represent injured people, not corporations, and I fight to hold trucking companies fully accountable when their negligence causes harm.
📞 Call me now at (813) 222-2220 for a free consultation.
There are no upfront fees, and you pay nothing unless I recover compensation for you.
Why Truck Accident Cases Require an Experienced Lawyer
Truck accident claims are far more complex than standard auto accident cases. They often involve:
- Multiple insurance policies
- Federal trucking regulations
- Corporate defendants
- Rapid evidence destruction
- Severe or permanent injuries
Trucking companies and their insurers begin building their defense immediately after a crash. If you wait too long to get legal help, key evidence—such as driver logs, black box data, or maintenance records—can disappear.
I step in early to protect your rights, preserve evidence, and level the playing field.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents I Investigate
Truck crashes are rarely “just accidents.” In many cases, they are the result of preventable negligence. I thoroughly investigate claims involving:
Driver Negligence
- Fatigued or over-hours drivers
- Distracted driving
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Impaired driving
Trucking Company Negligence
- Improper hiring or training
- Failure to supervise drivers
- Unsafe scheduling and delivery demands
- Inadequate safety policies
Equipment & Maintenance Failures
- Brake failures
- Tire blowouts
- Defective parts
- Poor vehicle maintenance

- Dump trucks
- Flatbed trucks
- Garbage trucks
- Construction vehicles
- Commercial fleet vehicles
Whether the truck was operated by a large national company or a local business, I pursue full accountability.
Injuries Commonly Caused by Truck Accidents
Due to their size and weight, commercial trucks often cause life-changing injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and crush injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Severe burns
- Amputations
- Wrongful death
These injuries require long-term medical care and can permanently affect your ability to work and enjoy life. I make sure your claim reflects the true long-term impact of your injuries.
Compensation I Pursue in Truck Accident Cases
Depending on your case, I may seek compensation for:
Economic Damages
- Medical bills and future treatment

Non-Economic Damages

Insurance companies often try to minimize truck accident claims by shifting blame or offering early settlements. I push back aggressively to pursue full and fair compensation.

Truck Accident Frequently Asked Questions
Why Are Truck Accident Cases More Complicated Than Car Accident Cases?
Truck accident cases often involve multiple defendants, layered insurance policies, and federal safety regulations. Evidence such as driver logs, black box data, and maintenance records can be critical and may disappear quickly. I step in early to preserve this evidence and protect your claim. You can learn more about how I handle serious injury cases at go2attorney.com.
Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Truck Accident?
Responsibility may extend beyond the truck driver. Depending on the facts, the trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo loader, or vehicle manufacturer may also be liable. I investigate every possible source of negligence to ensure accountability. This approach often makes a significant difference in the compensation available.
What if the Trucking Company Claims the Driver Was an Independent Contractor?
Trucking companies often use this argument to avoid responsibility, but it does not always hold up legally. I examine contracts, control over the driver, and company practices to determine true liability. Courts often look beyond labels to the reality of the working relationship. This is a common defense tactic I know how to challenge.
How Quickly Should I Contact a Lawyer After a Truck Accident?
Immediately, if possible. Trucking companies and insurers begin their defense almost as soon as a crash occurs. Delaying can result in lost evidence and weaker claims. You can reach me directly through my contact page for a free consultation.
What Is Black Box Data, and Why Does It Matter?
Many commercial trucks are equipped with electronic data recorders that capture speed, braking, and driving behavior. This data can be crucial in proving fault. Unfortunately, it may be overwritten or lost if not preserved quickly. I act fast to secure this evidence when handling truck accident cases.
What Types of Injuries Are Common in Truck Accidents?
Truck accidents frequently cause catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. These include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and severe internal injuries. Such injuries often require lifelong care. I make sure the claim reflects the full, long-term impact of these injuries.
What if the Insurance Company Is Blaming Me for the Crash?
This is a common tactic in truck accident cases. Insurers often try to shift blame to reduce or deny claims. I investigate the crash independently and challenge unfair fault allegations. Strong evidence and early action are key to pushing back.
How Long Does a Truck Accident Case Usually Take?
Truck accident cases often take longer than standard auto cases due to their complexity. Serious injuries may require time to understand future medical needs and financial losses. I focus on building the case properly rather than rushing into an inadequate settlement. You are kept informed throughout the process.
Will My Truck Accident Case Go to Trial?
Many cases settle, but trucking companies are more likely to fight aggressively. I prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which strengthens your negotiating position. If trial becomes necessary, I am ready. The decision to settle is always yours.
Why Should I Hire You to Handle My Truck Accident Case?
I represent injured people only — never trucking companies or insurers. I stay personally involved in every case and am not intimidated by large corporate defendants. My experience and approach matter when the stakes are high. You can learn more about my background on my bio page.
