The small-town charm of Maywood’s historic homes and tree-lined streets, as well as its proximity to Garden State Plaza and other shopping malls, grocery stores, the Hackensack UMC Fitness and Wellness Center, and other conveniences, make it an ideal place to live, work and shop.
Even so, the large number of cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians on the roads and sidewalks leads to many accidents each year. The large number of commuters and delivery trucks in and out of town each day contribute to the car and truck accidents that occur regularly. The heavy traffic on Spring Valley Road, Maywood Avenue, and East Spring Valley Avenue, especially in the area of The Outlets at Bergen Town Center, results in several car truck and motorcycle accidents each week.
For over 30 years, Maywood personal injury lawyer Douglas Standriff of Bergen Law has successfully handled thousands of personal injury cases for his clients, collecting tens of thousands of dollars in compensation on their behalf. As one of only approximately three percent of all attorneys who have been named certified civil trial attorneys by the New Jersey Supreme Court Committee on Civil Certification, Doug has proven, through both extensive trial experience and written examination, that he is uniquely qualified to handle personal injury cases successfully. If you were injured in a car, motorcycle or truck crash or a slip-and-fall accident, or were bitten by a dog, Doug and his associate, Marissa Messinger, Esq., will help you get the compensation you deserve by developing the most effective legal strategy for winning your case.
Car accidents can result in significant injuries and high medical bills. We handle a variety of car accident cases. These include rear-end collisions, head-on crashes, and accidents caused by speeding or drunk driving.
Slip and fall accidents can occur due to unsafe conditions in stores, sidewalks, or work. If you are injured in a slip and fall accident, the property owner may be responsible for your injuries. We handle cases involving dangerous conditions like wet floors, icy sidewalks, and faulty equipment.
Dog bites can cause serious physical and emotional injuries. If a dog bites you, the owner may be held responsible. We help clients recover compensation for medical bills, pain, and suffering from dog bite injuries.
Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries, including fractures, brain injuries, and spinal cord damage. We handle all motorcycle accident cases, including those caused by distracted or intoxicated drivers.
Truck accidents can lead to severe injuries because of the size and weight of the vehicles involved. We handle truck accident cases caused by driver negligence, equipment failure, and unsafe road conditions.
Civil litigation includes a wide range of disputes that require legal action. Our team handles cases involving wrongful death, business disputes, and property damage. We also deal with contract disputes, construction accidents, and legal malpractice.

Our Maywood personal injury attorneys at Bergen Law can fight for the compensation you deserve from the party or parties whose negligence harmed you. In a personal injury claim, the injured individual must prove negligence by a preponderance of the evidence (meaning it is more likely than not that the defendant is liable). We can help you establish the four elements required to demonstrate negligence:
In a successful personal injury claim, compensation is primarily intended to return the victim to the financial and physical state they were in before the injury. Recoverable compensation for economic damages can include quantifiable, out-of-pocket financial losses, supported by bills and receipts, such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.
You can also recover non-economic compensation for the subjective, intangible impact the accident had on your life, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost life enjoyment, and more.
Punitive damages may also be included in some personal injury settlements or court awards. These damages are not intended to compensate the victim but rather to punish the defendant and deter others from similar conduct.
If a truck, car, motorcycle, dog bite attack, or slip and fall accident caused your injury, or if someone else’s dog bit you, you could be entitled to significant compensation. It is crucial to secure the representation of an attorney who is certified in civil trial law so that you can get the best possible outcome for your case.
