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.

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.
