Let Big Chad Law Determine Who Is Liable for Your Construction Accident in Arizona
It is important to note that liability can be complex and often involves multiple parties when it comes to construction accidents. Determining who is at fault requires a thorough investigation and understanding of the laws and regulations governing Arizona’s construction industry.
There are typically multiple parties involved in a construction project, possibly including:
- Contractors
- Subcontractors
- Architects
- Engineers
- Property owners
Each of these parties may have responsibilities and obligations regarding safety and compliance with building codes and regulations. There are also insurance companies to consider when evaluating financial liability for your construction accident.
To determine liability, it’s important to assess factors such as negligence, breach of duty, and causation. These are legal concepts that our Arizona construction accident lawyers understand well. Allow Big Chad Law to investigate your construction accident, weigh the facts, and determine who owes you compensation.
Reasons to Let an Arizona Construction Accident Lawyer Represent You
Navigating the aftermath of a construction accident can be overwhelming, to put it mildly. Hiring a construction accident lawyer is vital to protect yourself, prioritize your health, and also put your case in a position for success.
Representing yourself in a construction accident case may seem like a cost-effective option. After all, why pay for a lawyer when you can handle it on your own, right? However, it’s important to understand the potential risks and consequences of going solo when it comes to legal matters. Here’s why you shouldn’t represent yourself in a construction accident case:
- Lack of Legal Experience: Construction accident cases can be complex and involve various legal aspects that require spe knowledge. As a non-legal professional, you may not have the necessary experience to navigate the intricacies of the law and ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.
- Limited Understanding of the Law: Laws governing construction accidents are specific and can vary from state to state. Without the guidance of a seasoned attorney, you may struggle to grasp the legal principles, deadlines, and procedures necessary to build a strong case. This lack of understanding can ultimately weaken your chances of a successful outcome.
- Inadequate Resources: Building a solid construction accident case requires access to resources such as expert witnesses, accident reconstruction specialists, and medical professionals. Without the support of a dedicated law firm like Big Chad Law, you may be ill-equipped to gather the necessary evidence and present a compelling argument.
- Little (If Any) Negotiating Experience: An experienced construction accident attorney will have honed negotiation and advocacy skills that can significantly impact the outcome of your case. They can communicate effectively with insurance companies, negotiate settlements, and compellingly present your case. Attempting to negotiate on your own may result in accepting a settlement that falls short of fair compensation.
- Emotional Objectivity: Going through a construction accident can be emotionally taxing. Representing yourself may make it difficult to maintain objectivity and make rational decisions. A lawyer can provide the necessary emotional distance and professional guidance to ensure your interests are protected.
Your only priority right now should be to rest and heal from accident-related injuries. Big Chad Law has everything you and your construction accident case will require. Let us be your advocates. We will not let you down.

Rely on Our Arizona Construction Accident Attorneys at Every Step of Your Case
Our attorneys need to get to know you. Only then can we craft a case strategy that’s perfect for you. That being said, we typically assist construction accident survivors by:
Collecting Evidence
We will gather evidence from the construction accident, and the investigation may involve:
- Taking photos and videos of the hazardous conditions, your injuries, and any damaged equipment
- Getting witness contact information, as their statements can support your case
- Keep a record of any safety violations or lack of protective equipment that may have contributed to the accident.
Evidence of how your construction accident happened will be pivotal pieces within our case.
Establishing an Instance or Pattern of Negligence
We will investigate why your construction accident happened, and we may uncover a pattern of negligence by the at-fault party by:
- Reviewing accident reports and OSHA safety violations
- Gathering medical records, surveillance footage, and witness statements
- Picking the brains of industry experts, such as engineers or safety specialists, to get their opinions about the accident
We will gather all relevant information about your construction accident, including who is responsible for it.
Filing Your Case
Once liability is determined, your lawyer will file the appropriate claim based on your circumstances. Two of the courses we often pursue after construction accidents are:
- Personal injury lawsuits: If negligence by a third party contributed to your accident, you can file a lawsuit to seek damages.
- Wrongful death claims: If the accident resulted in a fatality, surviving family members can pursue compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering.
Our team will explain your options and help identify the right path for your case.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, but your lawyer will negotiate aggressively. Your attorney from Big Chad Law will:
- Prevent insurers from using your words against you.
- Fight for fair compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering
- Be ready to represent you in court if liable parties do not negotiate in good faith
