Our construction defect attorney, Gene Brooks, has practiced law since 1982. A Certified Trial Specialist, his reputation as an effective litigator was largely built on claims involving toxic mold and synthetic stucco. Based in Savannah, he represents clients throughout Chatham County and Coastal Georgia, as well as homeowners in the Atlanta area and statewide.
Brooks Law Firm has achieved substantial settlements for clients in:
- Construction defects cases — Holding general contractors and subcontractors responsible for structural defects, substandard work, and use of inferior materials, leading to water intrusion, toxic mold, structural failure, roof leaks, or other damage.
- Product liability cases — suing manufacturers of exterior insulation, siding, and finish systems (EIFS, or "synthetic stucco") for the inherent moisture retention problems that can lead to rotting of the underlying house frame.
Toxic Mold
A growing number of people have reported chronic injury from toxic mold exposure in their homes or at work. A common culprit is water leaks caused by defective construction—when absorbed by drywall or other wallboard, the chronically moist surface becomes a perfect breeding ground for mold. Aspergillum, penicillium, and fusarium are common but potentially harmful molds. Stachybotrys, also called black mold, is one of the most toxic. Once they spread, these organisms can cause a range of illnesses (including respiratory problems and even death) in the high percentage of people who are sensitive to molds. If you attribute your ill health to mold, we can have your home inspected by experts who can identify the type of mold and the conditions that allowed it to spread.
Fixing this problem usually involves removing and replacing large sections of walls and repairing the source of the leak. We will pursue compensation from the builder for your property damage, medical expenses, lost wages, and physical pain and suffering.
Knowledgeable, Aggressive Representation in Construction Litigation
Tort reforms in Georgia have made it more difficult to collect damages. Despite these roadblocks for the plaintiff, Brooks Law Firm has a record of success in holding builders and manufacturers accountable. We have even prevailed in suits against the city for sewage backup from improperly installed sewers and the Georgia Department of Transportation for road construction that caused ruinous flooding to a client's property.
