Trusted Advocates for Tree Injury Victims

Tree accidents are unpredictable — and often devastating. Whether caused by neglected city trees, poorly maintained private landscaping, or sudden storm damage, falling limbs or uprooted trees can lead to serious injury or even wrongful death.

At Gill & Chamas, our dedicated New Brunswick tree accident lawyers have over 20 years of experience representing victims of personal injury throughout Middlesex County. We know New Brunswick — from the tree-lined streets near Rutgers University to the busy residential areas around Buccleuch Park and Boyd Park — and we understand the hazards trees can pose when property owners or municipalities fail in their duties.

If you or a loved one were injured by a falling tree, limb, or branch, our legal team is ready to help you secure compensation for medical bills, lost income, and long-term pain.

Why Tree Accidents Happen in New Brunswick

With a high density of pedestrians, students, and commuters, tree hazards in New Brunswick often go overlooked — until it's too late. Accidents commonly occur in areas like:

• Sidewalks and curbs near Rutgers University and downtown apartments
• Heavily wooded parks such as Buccleuch Park or Rutgers Gardens
• Residential neighborhoods along Livingston Avenue or Somerset Street
• Commercial properties that neglect routine tree inspections

New Brunswick’s mix of public, private, and university-owned property makes it especially important to determine liability in a tree accident — and our attorneys know how to navigate that complexity.

What to Do After a Tree Injury

If you or someone close to you was struck by a falling tree or branch:

1. Seek immediate medical attention — even if injuries seem minor.
2. Take photos of the scene, including the tree or debris.
3. Collect contact information of any witnesses.
4. Contact a qualified tree accident lawyer as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation if your injuries were caused by a property owner’s negligence, ignored complaints, or poor maintenance practices.
