Big Chad Law is a full-service personal injury law firm representing people who have been seriously hurt due to the negligence of others. Our practice covers a wide range of injury claims including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, boating accidents, dog bites, nursing home abuse, slip and fall cases, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death claims. We have built a reputation across Arizona for aggressively pursuing justice on behalf of accident victims and their families.
Not every accident automatically qualifies as a personal injury case. To bring a successful claim, you need to show that another party’s negligence directly caused your injuries and damages. The best way to know for sure is to schedule a free consultation with Big Chad Law. We’ll review the details, look at police and medical reports, and explain whether you have grounds to move forward.
Hiring Big Chad Law comes with no upfront cost. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay any attorney fees unless we secure compensation for you. Our fee is simply a percentage of the settlement or verdict we win in your case. This arrangement allows everyone, regardless of financial situation, to access experienced legal representation.
In Arizona, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of the accident or injury. This time limit also applies to wrongful death cases. If you wait too long, your case could be dismissed no matter how strong the evidence may be. Some exceptions exist, such as cases involving minors or delayed discovery of injuries, but in general the clock starts ticking the day the accident happens. This is why it’s critical to contact an attorney at Big Chad Law as soon as possible.
Every case is different. Some injury claims resolve quickly, especially if liability is clear and the insurance company is cooperative. Others can take a year or more, particularly when there are disputes about fault, serious injuries requiring long-term treatment, or when a trial becomes necessary. While we can’t promise an exact timeline, Big Chad Law prioritizes moving cases forward efficiently while also ensuring we don’t settle for less than what you deserve.
