Bicyclists have a right to share the road with motor vehicle drivers. Actually, they warrant even more attention and care from drivers—bike riders are far more susceptible to injury than those in motor vehicles. Yet, bicycle riders in Chandler are routinely injured and too often killed because of traffic accidents caused by drivers and other negligent parties.
If you or a loved one suffered an injury in a Chandler bike accident, call Big Chad Law today at (602) 833-2406 for your free consultation. We will talk about how a Chandler bicycle accident lawyer will pursue the compensation you deserve and why Big Chad Law may be the ideal law firm for you.
When a Bicyclist Gets Hit (and They Need a Lawyer), You Want Big Chad Law
Like attorney Chad Schaub, who stands six feet and seven inches tall, the Big Chad Law team strives to rise above our competition. We strive to be the most effective firm for injured riders in Chandler, and we work to achieve this goal by:
Relying on Our Extensive Experience with Bicycle Accidents
We have helped many cyclists. We have a soft spot for these clients, who are often injured seriously through no fault of their own.
Our experience with bicycle accident cases (in Chandler and elsewhere) means:
- We know the kinds of serious injuries riders can suffer (including brain injuries, which can happen whether or not a cyclist is wearing a helmet)
- We know a range of general approaches and legal strategies that can work in bike accident cases
- Our lawyers are familiar with challenges that can arise during bicycle accident cases
Our lawyers’ experience representing injured riders, and those affected by fatal bicycle accidents, also makes us confident as we represent clients like you.
Partnering Clients with the Best Lawyer for Their Unique Case
Each of our clients brings a unique personality and set of preferences to our firm. Similarly, our attorneys have unique communication styles, personalities, and traits—though each of them is highly competent and committed to clients’ success.
We will partner you with a Chandler bicycle accident lawyer who meshes well with you. Their case experience is one of many factors we will weigh when pairing you with your attorney.
Requiring No Upfront Fee or Payment from You
Not all of our clients are familiar with the contingency fee agreement. This is a fairly common type of fee for personal injury attorneys, and we use it because it benefits our clients.
From a financial perspective, it is easy to hire a Chandler bike accident attorney from our team because:
- We pay for all case-related costs
- We don’t receive any upfront fee or payment from you
- Our lawyers are paid based on results—if you receive a settlement or judgment, we receive a percentage
Big Chad Law is willing to put our necks out when it comes to the cost of your case. If we don’t achieve the financial outcome we strive for, we will bear the cost.
Communicating Proactively
A client needs many things from their legal team, and active communication is near the top of the list.
Our communication style includes:
- Reaching out regularly, whether or not there has been a major development or change in your case
- Contacting you immediately when we receive a settlement offer, or there is another significant update in your case
- Being available 24/7 for you—even if your lawyer cannot answer their phone immediately, we have a robust team that you can speak with
We use phones, email, texting, and other means to communicate with clients. You will never be in the dark when you choose your attorney from Big Chad Law.
Hiring a Team of Experts (When It’s Right for the Case)
Experts are often critical pieces of our case strategies.
In a bicycle accident case, experts can:
- Help us prove who is at fault for the collision
- Reconstruct the collision
- Document your damages (for example, a mental health professional may diagnose conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder)
- Help us calculate the cost of accident-related damages
These services aren’t free. We will pay for all expert fees, which is another reason why Big Chad Law has achieved the many life-changing results we have.
Using Our Connection to Chandler to Benefit Our Clients
Big Chad Law has an office in Chandler.
This enables us to:
- Truly connect with the clients we serve, whether or not they are Chandler residents
- Efficiently investigate and document bicycle accidents
- Navigate Chandler’s civil justice system with ease
We are local attorneys, but we offer the kind of resources and high-caliber representation that you might associate with larger, out-of-state firms. We bring the best of both worlds to your case.
We Know the Many Reasons Why Bicyclists Get Hit—It’s Usually Someone Else’s Negligence
Your attorney will not enter your case with any preconceived notions about who is at fault.
That being said, we do know that bicycle collisions can result from:
- Negligence by vehicle drivers: Motor vehicle drivers are clearly the greatest threat to bike riders. Intoxication, distraction, and a general lack of care and caution can all lead to a bike rider being injured or killed.
- Shortcomings by municipalities: More than half of bicyclist deaths happen when the sun is down or on its way down. This begs a conversation about how municipalities can fail bike riders. For instance, a lack of lighting along roadways and at intersections could contribute to a bicycle accident. This is just one of many ways that failures at the municipal level might endanger a rider.
- Defects in bikes and motor vehicles: If the equipment drivers and bike riders use is unsafe, an obvious potential exists for an accident.
- Other hazards: Bicycle accidents can happen for many other reasons. Our Chandler bike accident attorneys will investigate your collision so we can identify exactly why the accident happened.
We want to start the investigation as soon as possible. It’s up to you to allow us to do so.
Call Big Chad Law today at (602) 833-2406 so we can get to know you better and start your case as soon as possible. The consultation is free, so there is no risk in calling.
Why Might I Hire a Bicycle Accident Attorney?
Because we have yet to meet you, we don’t know exactly why you might hire us. We can give you several possible reasons, though, which include:
- You don’t have the time needed to build a compelling insurance claim
- You don’t feel capable of leading a lawsuit on your own (should you need to sue liable parties for fair compensation)
- Your physical injuries, psychological trauma, or emotional difficulties make it difficult for you to confront the details of your accident
- You are generally unfamiliar with the process of completing an insurance claim or lawsuit
Our ability and willingness to support you and your case financially may also be appealing. Having Big Chad Law on your side comes with many benefits, and our clients rarely hire us for just one reason.

How a Chandler Bike Accident Lawyer from Big Chad Law Will Help You
Let Big Chad Law take the wheel when it comes to your case.
Your lawyer will:
- Listen to your account of the bicycle accident
- Gather all other information you want to share
- Ask you questions we believe are relevant to your case
- Take over all case-related responsibilities
Completing a bicycle accident case requires focus, drive, and a tireless work ethic. We will waste no time in resolving your case, which will require our team to:
Secure Evidence of At-Fault Parties’ Negligence
Your Chandler bike accident lawyer will urgently secure evidence.
We may prove how at-fault parties caused your accident with:
- Witnesses’ statements about the accident
- Video of the accident
- Any police report detailing the accident
- Experts’ testimony about why and how the collision occurred
- All other relevant evidence related to the accident
Proving fault is a key step in successful insurance claims and lawsuits. Arizona bases its insurance framework on fault for an accident, so your lawyer will pursue any evidence that points towards another party’s fault.
Communicate with Insurers
Insurance companies are not typically on our side, but we are more than familiar with them. This enables us to communicate effectively with insurance representatives during cases like yours.
From sharing proof of your losses to arranging settlement negotiations, let us handle insurance companies while you recover.
Document Your Post-Accident Damages
Your attorney will illustrate how the bicycle accident has affected you. Every client has different damages, so documentation is unique to each case.
Some documentation we often use in bicycle accident cases include:
- Medical records, which will include explicit diagnoses of injuries and descriptions of your symptoms
- Medical bills
- Financial statements show a dropoff in your earnings after the accident
- Invoices related to damaged property, such as a bill for a new bicycle
Experts can also help us document your accident-related damages. If necessary, we may arrange for you to see a mental health expert who can document symptoms like PTSD, depression, and emotional anguish.
Calculate the Total Cost of Your Case
We will determine the cost of your damages. This includes non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
Calculating the cost of a bicycle accident is a more complex undertaking than many accident victims assume. Let us handle this critical step in your case, as well as every other step your case will entail.
Potentially File a Lawsuit
We do not always need to file a lawsuit for bicycle accident victims. However, we are always ready to. If you and your lawyer determine that a lawsuit is the way to go, we will draft and file the suit for you.
Potentially Go to Trial
When we file lawsuits, we may then:
- Reach a settlement agreement that resolves the case
- Go to trial
- Go to trial but reach a settlement agreement before the trial concludes
Big Chad Law is a dynamic firm. We have trial-tested lawyers, so we will be ready to fight for you in court if we decide to.
Bicyclists Often Suffer Life-Altering Injuries and Trauma. Here Are the Damages That May Result.
Bikers have limited protection beyond a helmet.
Even when they wear a helmet, an injured rider may suffer:
- Medical expenses, which can include high-cost services like surgery, medical imaging, hospitalization, and rehabilitation
- Pain and suffering, which may include physical pain, PTSD, lost quality of life, and several other non-economic types of hardship
- Professional harm, such as lost income, diminished earning capacity and lost bonus opportunities
- Property expenses, including but not limited to the cost of repairing or replacing your bike
We know that bikers often face disabling injuries, and we are ready to account for that possibility in your case.
Some Bicyclists Tragically Die, Resulting in the Following Losses
Losing a loved one is indescribably difficult. This is the fate that countless individuals face each year when bike accidents are fatal.
Allow Big Chad Law to fight for justice if you have lost a loved one.
We are compassionate and experienced in wrongful death cases, which can involve many damages, including:
- Funeral costs
- Medical costs
- Pain and suffering (which can be especially severe and last for years)
- Loss of the deceased rider’s financial support
Pain and suffering damages stand out in wrongful death cases. We particularly account for grief when representing those affected by fatal traffic accidents.
