Carteret NJ Tree Accident Lawyers

Tree accidents may seem rare, but in a densely populated and green town like Carteret, NJ, falling branches, uprooted trees, and poorly maintained public landscaping can lead to serious injuries or property damage. Whether it’s a parkway tree that crashes onto your car during a storm or a private tree that collapses onto a sidewalk, knowing your legal rights matters.

At Gill & Chamas, our experienced Carteret tree accident lawyers have handled numerous cases involving tree-related injuries across Middlesex County. Based in nearby Woodbridge, we are your neighbors—trusted, local advocates who understand the town’s layout, liability laws, and the urgency that follows a traumatic accident.

Tree Hazards in Carteret

Carteret is home to several neighborhoods, municipal parks, and busy roads lined with mature trees that add charm—but also risk during storms or periods of neglect.

Key areas where tree-related accidents might occur include:

• Carteret Park and Waterfront Park
• Washington Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue
• Chrome Waterfront Area and NJ Turnpike Exit 12 ramps
• Residential zones with aging or overgrown trees

Storm damage, utility company neglect, municipal oversight, and private property issues can all lead to unsafe tree conditions. If a limb fell onto your vehicle while driving near Carteret Middle School or a tree root caused a trip-and-fall near Noe Street, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Who’s Liable in a Tree Accident?

Determining liability in a tree accident can be complex. Gill & Chamas investigates each case thoroughly to determine whether the tree was under the care of:

• A private homeowner
• A business or landlord
• A utility provider (e.g., PSE&G)
• The Borough of Carteret or another government entity

We help identify liable parties and pursue claims for damages, whether through municipal notice-of-claim procedures or direct litigation.
