FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Truck accident questions

Truck claim FAQs

What evidence matters in wide-turn and squeeze-play crashes?

A truck turning across adjacent space can trap a vehicle between the trailer and curb. The approach, turn signals, lanes and trailer path help explain the collision. Preserve turning path, signal timing and curbside photographs.

What should I record about this crash?

Where were you relative to the cab and trailer during the turn? Mark uncertain facts as unknown.

Should I call before all records are available?

Yes. Share the location, carrier identity and records you have. Electronic evidence can change or be overwritten; an attorney can discuss preservation. Calling does not itself create representation or guarantee a letter.

Does the firm handle cases along I-95 and statewide?

Yes. Josef Timlichman handles 18-wheeler and commercial truck cases throughout Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. Based in Hollywood, Florida. Serving clients throughout Florida. Meetings by appointment only.
