STEVE GORDON: If you or a family member have been involved in a truck accident or a serious motor vehicle accident in the State of Tennessee and you've made your way to this web page with all the web sites out there and all the different videos and you're watching this video, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Steve Gordon with the law firm of Gordon and Elias and we are truck accident lawyers.
We know how to handle a truck accident case from the beginning to the end. And let me tell you, truck accident litigation is somewhat specialized in that there are many different causes in going into a truck accident, fatigue, brakes, load shifts, all sorts of things. And so you need lawyers that are--have some experience in this area to be able to assess that.

STEVE GORDON: Number one, we are a national firm.

STEVE GORDON: We have lawyers, relationships with lawyers in every state in the United States, and so we look at things on a national perspective.

STEVE GORDON: In almost every truck accident there involves one or more states.

STEVE GORDON: 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.
[GRAPHIC: Causation]
STEVE GORDON: We determine the cause of the accident early.

STEVE GORDON: The cause is very important.

STEVE GORDON: And we want to make sure that we lock it down.
[GRAPHIC: Brakes]
STEVE GORDON: It could be brakes.

STEVE GORDON: It could be fatigue. It could be driver negligence, recklessness.

STEVE GORDON: It could be drug usage on the part of the truck driver, or alcohol usage.

STEVE GORDON: It could be company negligence.
[GRAPHIC: Truck with over-sized load]
STEVE GORDON: It could be improper loads. There are many different factors and one of the things we do early on is to lock that down.
[GRAPHIC: Venue]
[GRAPHIC: Court]
STEVE GORDON: Because we have a national orientation, we make sure that where your lawsuit is filed is the best place.

STEVE GORDON: You've all heard of some places being better than others for jury verdicts.

STEVE GORDON: Our goal is to get you in the best spot possible.
[GRAPHIC: Medical Care]

STEVE GORDON: And so Gordon and Elias makes sure if you have an orthopedic problem that you get an orthopedic or neurosurgeon to treat you, not just some general practitioner.
[GRAPHIC: Doctor]
STEVE GORDON: So getting the right medical care is imperative.

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.
[GRAPHIC: Couple and child]
[GRAPHIC: Group at table]
STEVE GORDON: This is your family and your family's livelihood, and we are literally like your family.

STEVE GORDON: 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 and Elias.
