How We Help: Our Premises Liability Practice Areas

We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We analyze every claim to target the specific type of property neglect that caused your accident.

Slips, Trips And Falls

Many injuries happen during everyday activities when property managers ignore basic maintenance. We help clients recover after:

• Slip-and-fall accidents on wet floors, soapy surfaces or cluttered walkways.
• Tripping hazards like broken sidewalks, torn carpeting or faulty steps.
• Escalator and elevator failures caused by mechanical defects or poor maintenance.

Whether you fell in a local grocery store, private home or a public office building, we gather the security footage and maintenance logs needed to prove who was at fault.

Retail, Commercial And Resort Injuries

Businesses have a strict legal duty to protect their customers. We hold negligent owners accountable in cases involving:

• Accidents at hotels, pools, resorts and vacation properties.
• Injuries at Phoenix-area casinos.
• Liquor liability claims against bars that over-served drunk drivers.
• Injuries at retail stores, grocery chains or restaurants.

We thoroughly investigate the business’s daily operations to show exactly where their safety protocols broke down.

Safety Violations And Severe Hazards

Some property failures lead to catastrophic harm because safety was completely disregarded. We handle high-stakes cases involving:

• Assault, robbery or violence stemming from a lack of security or lighting.
• Dog bites and other animal attacks caused by careless pet owners.
• Construction site accidents, including scaffold falls and falling tools.

We work alongside security and medical experts to show how these severe hazards directly caused your life-changing injuries.

Proving Liability Under Arizona Law: The “Open And Obvious” Defense

Property owners and their insurance adjusters often try to blame you. They often argue that the hazard was open and obvious, meaning you simply should have seen it and walked away.

However, the law is clear: a business’s duty to keep its premises safe does not disappear just because a hazard is visible. While the insurance company might try to use this defense to deny your claim upfront, our experienced legal team knows how to counter these arguments. We focus on showing that the property owner failed to act reasonably, protecting your right to pursue full damages regardless of how obvious the danger appeared.

What If You Share Blame? Arizona’s Comparative Negligence Rules.

Many people worry they cannot recover compensation if they were partially at fault – for example, if they were looking at a phone when they tripped. Fortunately, Arizona uses a pure comparative negligence system.

You can still collect compensation even if you played a role in the accident. Under this law, a jury determines the percentage of fault for everyone involved, and the court reduces your final payout by your percentage of blame. If you are 20% responsible for a fall, you can still recover 80% of your total damages. We know how to defeat these comparative fault claims so you keep the highest possible share of your settlement.

The Strict Deadlines For Filing A Claim In Arizona

Waiting too long to take action can permanently bar you from recovering money. Arizona enforces strict deadlines on these cases:

• Standard claims: Under Arizona law, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
• Government properties: If you were injured on public transit, in a state park or on public school property, you must file a formal notice of claim within 180 days of the injury.

If you miss these deadlines, you lose your right to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages and pain. Contact us as soon as possible so we can protect your claim.
