Boating Accidents in Arizona
Arizona’s year-round sunshine and warm weather make boating a favorite activity across the state. From summer getaways on Lake Pleasant to relaxing weekends on Saguaro Lake, our waterways see hundreds of boaters enjoying the outdoors. But with this activity comes risk—more than 200 boating accidents occur in Arizona annually, many resulting in severe injuries or even death.
Because Arizona has specific boating laws and safety regulations, you need legal representation from attorneys who know them inside and out. At Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, our Phoenix boating accident lawyers have extensive experience handling these cases. We fight to recover compensation for injury victims while guiding them through each stage of their legal journey

Frequently Asked Questions
What Makes Big Chad Law Different?
We’ve spent decades fighting for injury victims across Arizona. Our focus is on helping real people—not big corporations—get justice and financial relief. You’ll never feel like “just another case” with us.
Why Should I Hire an Attorney?
Insurance companies don’t make it easy. They may deny claims, downplay injuries, or shift blame. With our experienced legal team on your side, you’ll have someone to protect your rights and push for the outcome you deserve.
How Much Does It Cost?
We don’t charge upfront. You only pay if we win. Our fee is a percentage of your final settlement or court award.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?
Arizona law gives you two years from the date of the accident—or the discovery of injuries—to file a claim. This is known as the statute of limitations. Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to compensation.
