How We Gather Evidence and Build Strong Injury Cases for Chandler Clients

At Thompson Law we build strong injury cases for our Chandler clients with a proactive, detail-oriented approach to evidence gathering. We immediately get police and incident reports and thoroughly check them for errors or omissions. We get medical records and bills to document your diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care needs. We also get video footage from traffic cameras and ADOT highway cams if available to get every angle of the event.

Our team works with top experts, including accident reconstructionists, economists, and medical specialists, to get strong supportive testimony for your case. We also photograph property damage, injuries, and the accident scene to preserve critical visual evidence and do prompt witness interviews so no valuable information is lost over time.

Beyond gathering the evidence, we track down and review insurance policies and aggressively challenge any unfair claim denials or lowball offers. This process builds a solid foundation for your personal injury claim, showing what happened, how it affected you, and why you’re entitled to be compensated.

What Happens If You’re Partially at Fault?

Understanding Arizona’s Comparative Negligence Rule

Arizona is a pure comparative negligence state. That means even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still get compensation for your injuries, but the amount you get is just reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you could still get $80,000. Even if you’re 90% at fault, you’re still entitled to 10% of your damages – there is no cutoff.

Insurance companies will try to shift the blame to you to minimize their payout. That’s why having a lawyer by your side is crucial. Our experienced Chandler injury attorneys work hard to get clear evidence that shows the other party was negligent. We push back against any unfair accusations from insurers to make sure you get the full compensation you deserve.

High-Risk Intersections and Accident Hotspots in Chandler

Certain intersections and corridors in Chandler have become well-known for frequent accidents. The intersection of Price Road and Queen Creek Road consistently ranks among the most dangerous. Ray Road, in particular, has multiple high-risk spots, including Ray Road & Dobson Road and Ray Road & Arrowhead Drive. Other busy corridors, such as West Chandler Boulevard and North Arizona Avenue, and East Chandler Boulevard and North McQueen Road, often experience heavy traffic and complex driving conditions that contribute to serious collisions.

Understanding where accidents happen most frequently isn’t just helpful for drivers, it’s also valuable in legal cases. At Thompson Law, we use this local knowledge to support accident reconstruction, identify patterns, and strengthen the claims we build for injured clients.

Proving Negligence and Establishing Fault in Your Personal Injury Case

To get compensation in a personal injury case, you must show another party’s negligence caused your injuries. This means proving key elements:

• The defendant had a legal responsibility to act with reasonable care to prevent harm to others. ​
• The defendant failed to meet this responsibility through their negligent actions or omissions, like texting and driving. ​
• A direct link exists between the defendant’s breach of duty and your injuries, meaning their actions were the proximate cause of the harm. ​
• You suffered actual losses like medical bills or lost wages as a result of the injury. ​

At Thompson Law, we collect and analyze police reports, photos, video footage, medical records, expert testimony, and witness statements to build your case. We make sure all responsible parties are identified and held accountable. ​

FAQs About Personal Injury Lawsuits in Chandler

How long do I have to report an injury after an accident in Chandler?

In Arizona, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the injury. That means you have 2 years to file a lawsuit; if you don’t, you may be barred from getting compensation. But it’s recommended you report your injury and talk to an attorney as soon as possible because delays can complicate evidence gathering and witness recall. ​

Can I sue the city of Chandler if poor road design or signal timing caused my accident?

Yes, you can file a claim against a governmental entity like the city of Chandler if their negligence, such as poor road design or bad traffic signals, caused your accident. But Arizona law has specific notice requirements and shorter time limits for suing government entities. Typically you must file a notice of claim within 180 days of the incident and a lawsuit within 1 year. It’s important to talk to an attorney ASAP to make sure you comply with these deadlines. ​

What if my injury happened on private property, like a store or parking lot?

If you were injured on private property due to the owner’s negligence, for example, a slip and fall in a store or parking lot, you may have a premises liability claim. Arizona law requires property owners to keep their property safe for lawful visitors. To win such a claim, you must prove the property owner owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach caused your injury. It’s recommended you talk to an attorney to see if you have a claim. ​

Can I recover damages if I didn’t go to the hospital right after the accident?

While seeking medical attention right after an accident is important for your health and your legal claim, not doing so doesn’t automatically bar you from getting damages. But delays in medical treatment can be used by the defense to argue your injuries weren’t serious or were caused by something else. It’s important to document your injuries and any medical care you receive even if treatment isn’t immediate. Talking to an attorney can help you navigate these complexities. ​

What if the person who hurt me doesn’t have enough insurance?

If the at-fault party doesn’t have enough insurance, you may still have options to recover damages: ​

• Your Own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage:  If you have this coverage on your policy, it can cover costs when the at-fault party’s insurance is insufficient.
• ​Personal:  In some cases you can go after the at-fault person’s personal assets.
• Third Party:  If someone else (like an employer) is responsible for your injury.
