Edison NJ Tree Accident Lawyers

Edison, NJ, is one of the most populous and diverse townships in Middlesex County, known for its sprawling neighborhoods, extensive roadways, and green public spaces. With tree-lined streets, wooded areas near the Raritan River, and high traffic corridors like Route 1, Route 27, and the Garden State Parkway, Edison is no stranger to the risks posed by falling trees and hazardous limbs.

Our personal injury lawyers have decades of experience handling tree accident claims throughout Middlesex County. Based nearby in Woodbridge, we understand the local landscape and legal systems involved in holding negligent parties accountable.

Where Tree Accidents Happen in Edison

Edison has a wide variety of high-risk areas where tree accidents can and do occur. Some of the most common places include:

• Roosevelt Park and Papaianni Park
• Edison State Park and the Raritan River Greenway
• Wooded neighborhoods near Stelton Road, Inman Avenue, and Tingley Lane
• School zones near Edison High School, John P. Stevens High School, and Herbert Hoover Middle School
• Heavily trafficked commercial areas like Oak Tree Road, Menlo Park Mall, and Route 1 retail corridors

Hazards range from falling limbs and trees that collapse in storms to cracked sidewalks caused by growing roots. If a hazardous tree wasn’t properly maintained by the township, a utility company, or a private landowner, you may have a case.

Determining Liability in Edison Tree Accidents

Liability for tree accidents often depends on where the tree is located and whether there was knowledge—or negligence—regarding its condition. Possible responsible parties in Edison include:

• Homeowners or landlords
• Business owners and property managers
• Public utility companies that failed to trim trees near power lines
• The Township of Edison or Middlesex County if the tree was on public property

At Gill & Chamas, we gather evidence to show who was responsible for maintaining the tree and whether that party failed to act before the accident occurred.

Types of Injuries in Tree Accidents

Falling branches and uprooted trees can cause devastating injuries, especially in densely populated areas like Edison. Common injuries include:

• Head trauma and brain injuries
• Back and spinal cord injuries
• Fractures, sprains, and torn ligaments
• Facial injuries and scarring
• Severe bruises and internal injuries

We help clients seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future care needs, and pain and suffering.
