Gill & Chamas Injury Firm

If you or a loved one has been injured by a falling tree or limb in Perth Amboy, it’s important to understand your legal rights. Property owners — whether private citizens, businesses, or the municipality — may be held responsible for failing to inspect, maintain, or remove hazardous trees.

At Gill & Chamas, our tree accident lawyers fight for injury victims across Middlesex County. Our main office in Woodbridge is just minutes from downtown Perth Amboy, and we’ve represented countless clients from the area.

Whether your injury occurred near the waterfront, at a park like Washington Park or Rudyk Park, or on a residential street like Smith Street or State Street, we know the local landscape — and how to build your case.

Tree Accident Risk in Perth Amboy

Perth Amboy is known for its historic streets, mature tree-lined neighborhoods, and proximity to the Raritan Bay. But heavy trees and storm-prone weather can pose a real hazard — especially when trees aren’t regularly maintained.

High-risk areas in town include:

• Public walkways and sidewalks in the historic waterfront district
• Older neighborhoods with aging trees and limited drainage
• School zones near Perth Amboy High School and Wilentz Elementary
• Municipal parks and green spaces with high foot traffic

A decaying tree or loose branch can cause catastrophic injuries — especially when falling onto pedestrians, parked cars, or property.

Do You Have a Case?

Liability depends on several factors — who owned the tree, whether there was prior knowledge of the hazard, and whether proper maintenance was conducted.

Gill & Chamas investigate every detail, including:

• Property ownership and responsibility
• Prior complaints, trimming history, or known defects
• Weather and wind conditions at the time of the accident
• Police, EMS, and eyewitness reports

If you’re not sure whether you have a case, we’ll give you honest feedback during a free consultation.
