Helping Victims of Falling Tree Injuries Recover

North Brunswick’s tree-lined neighborhoods, scenic parks, and busy roads create a charming suburban atmosphere, but when trees are not properly maintained, they can also pose serious dangers. Falling trees or branches can cause catastrophic injuries, property damage, or even wrongful death. If you or a loved one has been hurt in a tree-related accident, the North Brunswick tree accident lawyers at Gill & Chamas are here to help you seek justice and full financial recovery.

Why Tree Accidents Happen in North Brunswick

Tree accidents are often preventable. Many result from property owners, landlords, or local authorities neglecting obvious warning signs. Common causes include:

• Failing to remove dead or rotting trees
• Poor maintenance near sidewalks, parking lots, or homes
• Overgrown limbs obstructing roads or power lines
• Tree root instability from flooding or erosion
• Improper pruning or negligent landscaping practices

Tree accidents can occur anywhere in North Brunswick, from Bicentennial Park to residential neighborhoods off Route 27 or commercial areas along Route 1.

• Homeowners associations (HOAs) responsible for shared green spaces.
• Municipalities or Middlesex County if the tree was on public property or a right-of-way.
• Utility companies that failed to maintain trees near power lines.
