Arizona personal injury & accident law
Standing tall for injured Arizonans, statewide.
An unexpected accident creates problems that reach far past physical pain — medical bills arrive, missed work strains the household budget, and insurance adjusters may ask for a statement before you understand the full scope of your injury.
Guero Gigante is the Arizona legal brand associated with Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers and attorney Chad Schaub — a sixth-generation Arizonan known for standing 6 feet 7 inches tall. The firm communicates with English- and Spanish-speaking communities across Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Tucson, Kingman, Glendale, and beyond, helping people who were hurt by another party's careless or reckless conduct understand their options.
Why "gigante"
The nickname is literal: attorney Chad Schaub stands 6'7", and the brand carries that same presence into every client's corner.

How the legal team helps
What happens after you call
The early stage of a claim is often the most confusing — an adjuster may request a recorded statement or float a quick payment before the full cost of an injury is known.
| Area of assistance | What the legal team may do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Case evaluation | Review the accident, injuries, and available evidence. | Helps determine whether a valid claim may exist. |
| Accident investigation | Gather reports, photographs, records, and witness statements. | Supports the argument about responsibility. |
| Insurance communication | Handle adjusters, documents, and settlement discussions. | Reduces pressure on the injured person. |
| Damage calculation | Examine medical costs, income loss, and personal harm. | Helps prevent important losses from being overlooked. |
| Settlement negotiation | Present evidence and respond to disputed offers. | Seeks an appropriate out-of-court resolution. |
| Litigation support | Prepare pleadings, discovery, experts, and trial arguments. | Protects the claim when settlement isn't reached. |
What may be recoverable
Compensation depends on evidence, not a formula
The value of a claim depends on documented facts rather than a fixed online calculator. A lawyer typically weighs both the financial and the personal toll of an accident — emergency treatment and future care, lost wages and reduced earning ability, property damage, and the pain, emotional suffering, and lost enjoyment of life an injury can cause. In qualifying wrongful-death cases, funeral costs and lost family support may also factor in.
Before any of that gets calculated, it helps to talk it through with someone who can look at the specifics of your situation — you can schedule a free consultation to walk through what happened and what it may be worth.
- Emergency treatment, hospital bills, rehabilitation, medication, and anticipated care
- Wages lost during recovery and reduced future earning ability
- Vehicle repairs, replacement expenses, and other damaged property
- Physical pain, emotional suffering, and loss of normal enjoyment of life
Arizona comparative fault
Sharing some blame doesn't end your case
Arizona law doesn't automatically bar a claim when comparative negligence applies. Instead, recoverable damages are reduced according to the claimant's percentage of fault — liability among defendants is generally allocated the same way, subject to statutory exceptions.
Act promptly
Evidence and deadlines don't wait
Video gets deleted, vehicles get repaired, and witnesses forget details. Deadlines depend on the parties involved, so treat the timeline below as general guidance, not a calculated due date.
Preserve evidence
Photos, records, and witness details are easiest to gather right after the accident.
Public-entity notice
Claims involving a government entity or employee generally require notice within 180 days.
General filing limit
Most Arizona personal injury and wrongful-death actions fall under a two-year limitation period, with exceptions.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Who is Guero Gigante?
Guero Gigante is the nickname associated with Arizona attorney Chad Schaub and the Spanish-language branding connected with Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers.
What cases does Guero Gigante handle?
Published practice areas include car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, rideshare, dog-bite, premises-liability, and wrongful-death cases. Representation depends on an individual case review.
Does Guero Gigante offer free consultations?
The firm's official website advertises consultations without an initial charge for accident and injury matters. Confirm current terms directly with the firm.
Will I pay legal fees before my case ends?
The firm promotes contingency-based representation — commonly described as paying fees only if compensation is recovered. Read the written contract for percentages, expenses, and obligations.
Can I recover compensation if I was partly responsible?
Possibly. Arizona's comparative-negligence statute reduces damages according to the claimant's relative fault rather than automatically barring the claim.
How long do I have to file an Arizona injury claim?
Many claims fall under a two-year limitation period, but shorter deadlines and special notice rules can apply, particularly against government entities. A lawyer should calculate the exact deadline.
Does hiring Guero Gigante guarantee a settlement?
No attorney can ethically guarantee an outcome. Results depend on liability, evidence, injuries, damages, insurance coverage, and the decisions made during negotiation or litigation.
