- For Tim, the settlements are not what matters
- It’s being able to provide comfort and hope for the families of truck crash victims. “I have spent my entire legal career dealing with families who have lost loved ones, often days after it happened.” “When we first meet the families,” Becker says, “they are at the absolute lowest point of their lives
- As we figure out how and why the unthinkable occurred, we see them come around and have that hope and sense of purpose back, pursuing the case to prevent it from happening to another family.” He works alongside the other truck crash attorneys at Dollar, Burns, Becker & Hershewe to alter laws at the local, state and national level as well as truck company policies and procedures to ensure these types of accidents don’t happen again in the future
