When you are injured because of someone’s negligence…

When you have been injured because of the negligence of someone else, that person (or persons, company, etc.) may be legally obligated to compensate you for that injury.  Brooks Law firm represents clients who have been injured in serious auto and truck accidents, by unsafe pharmaceutical drugs, through exposure to industrial chemicals at the workplace and additional acts of negligence on the part of others.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Even when the other driver was clearly at fault, collecting full compensation for your losses in a car accident, motorcycle accident or tractor-trailer accident is not always simple.  In many cases, insurance companies — theirs and yours — will try to settle the case prematurely or for the lowest amount possible.   A motor vehicle accident lawsuit involving serious injuries may include hiring professional investigators and accident reconstructionists to determine exactly what happened at the scene of the accident, and should always include extensive work with medical experts and rehabilitation specialists to make sure any settlement proposal includes all necessary medical care.  Read More

Wrongful Death

The causes of wrongful death are wide-ranging and may include: medical malpractice, defective drugs, product liability, car and truck accidents, construction site and other fatal accidents, as well as toxic exposure and occupational disease.  In Georgia, damages in a wrongful death lawsuit are payable to the surviving spouse, children or to parents, and are based on the value of the life of the family member who died as determined by their lost earning capacity and loss of companionship and family contributions.   Read More

Premises Liability

Premises liability lawsuits include a variety of injuries including slip-and-fall accidents in a grocery store or department store, injuries suffered in a restaurant, hotel or cruise ship, as well as assaults on private or public property due to negligence or lack of adequate security measures.  When accidents happen on someone’s property and negligence or deliberate inaction on the part of the property owner contributed to an injury, the injured party may have the legal right to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Attorney Eugene C. Brooks is a certified trial specialist who has both lectured and written extensively on toxic exposures and other personal injury topics.  Mr. Brooks has practiced law in Georgia for more than 25 years and has represented clients in Savannah, throughout Chatham County and Coastal Georgia and around the state.
