STEVE GORDON: If you or a family member have been involved in a truck accident in the state of Ohio and you've made your way to this web page, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Steve Gordon from the law firm of Gordon and Elias and we do truck accident litigation.
Truck accident cases, though there's not really a specialty offered by the Bar Association in truck accident litigation, come within an area that you should hired experienced truck accident litigators. There are many issues involving truck accident causes. Fatigue of the driver is a huge one, 40% of most accidents are caused by driver fatigue. Brakes. Loads. A normal lawyer that handles cases other than truck accident cases doesnít really understand that.
So it behooves you to hire somebody experienced in truck accident litigation. But there are many, many fine truck accident lawyers in these United States. Why you should choose Gordon and Elias, we believe, is because of the special difference with us.

STEVE GORDON: And finally, and I think most importantly, it has nothing to do with lawyering; it has to do with being people and persons.
