During his nearly 30-year legal career, Tim Becker has become known and revered as one of this nation’s leading truck crash attorneys. Through his work at Dollar, Burns, Becker & Hershewe, Tim has tried truck crashes in 33 of the 50 states and won millions of dollars in settlements for his clients.
Tim knows, without exception, truck crashes are not accidents. There is a reason the crash happened, and he works tirelessly to find out why. Tim knows the patterns, what to look for, what documents the trucking companies should have and what its drivers should be doing. This is why Tim is so effective, and what makes Dollar, Burns, Becker & Hershewe one of the most sought-after truck crash law firms in the country. For Tim, the settlements are not what matters. It’s being able to provide comfort and hope for the families of truck crash victims, and being their voice for change so this doesn’t happen again.
Two of his most noteworthy cases includes the Breedlove vs. S&H Express, Inc.; Jeffery Rice; Losif Ghimbasan: MODA Transport, Inc., that was settled for $4.09 million, and Holdeman v. Stratman where a jury awarded a verdict of $37.5 million.
