Tampa Truck Accidents
Tampa truck accident lawyer for crashes with semis and commercial trucks
A collision with an 80,000-pound truck is not a bigger car crash. There is a company, a driver, and an insurer who move quickly to limit what they pay. Alanah McGuire works to level that fight.

01 — The reality
Why a truck case is different, and harder
Trucking companies often send an investigator to the scene within hours. Their job is to build the company’s defense before you have even left the hospital.
Key evidence — the driver’s logbook, the truck’s electronic data, maintenance records — can be overwritten or lost unless someone demands it be preserved fast.
More than one party may be responsible: the driver, the company that employs them, a maintenance contractor, or a cargo loader. Sorting that out is what makes a truck claim worth pursuing correctly.

02 — Don’t wait
There is a deadline on your claim
Florida’s two-year deadline for most negligence claims (2023 reform, HB 837) applies, and truck cases especially reward acting early — the truck’s data and the driver’s logs can be lost within weeks if no one demands they be preserved.
