STEVE GORDON:
If you or a family member has been injured in the state of Iowa in a truck accident case or some type of commercial vehicle accident and you've made your way to our webpage and you're actually watching this video, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Steve Gordon of the law firm of Gordon and Elias. And we do truck accident litigation. We do it on a nationwide basis.
Just because your truck accident case happened in Iowa doesn't mean it has to be filed in Iowa. It can be filed in Iowa. And if it is filed in Iowa, we have worked out agreements with other truck accident lawyers to assist us in the state of Iowa.
So the point I'm trying to make is--when you make that call and it is answered by a lawyer and not an answering machine, not an answering service, and that lawyer can work with you and talk to you about all aspects of your case, that right there is a major difference from any other truck accident firm on the internet.
Number one, we're a national firm. We have lawyers, relationships with lawyers in every state in the United States. And so we look at things on a national perspective. In almost every truck accident, there involves one or more states. So you need lawyers that are going to look at things from a national perspective and not be pigeonholed into where that particular lawyer's office is or where he or she lives.
We determine the cause of the accident early. The cause is very important. And we want to make sure that we lock it down. It could be brakes. It could be fatigue. It could be driver negligence, recklessness. It could be drug usage on the part of the truck driver or alcohol usage. It could be company negligence. It could be improper loads. There are many different factors. And one of the things we do early on is to lock that down.
Because we have a national orientation, we make sure that where your lawsuit is filed is the best place. You've all heard of some places being better than others for jury verdicts. Our goal is to get you in the best spot possible. It's imperative that you get the right doctor for the right medical care.
And so Gordon & Elias makes sure if you have an orthopedic problem that you get an orthopedic or neurosurgeon to treat you, not just some general practitioner. So getting the right medical care is imperative.
And finally and I think most importantly, it has nothing to do with lawyering. It has to do with being people and persons. This is your family and your family's livelihood. And we are literally like your family. At the end, I can assure you we'll maybe be invited over to your house for dinner and vice versa because for some time period, we're going to be very close together. And those are the reasons why I would pick Gordon & Elias.
