Premises Liability Lawyer Helping Injured Victims In Phoenix Retail Stores
Business owners are responsible for keeping their property safe for visitors. If you were injured at a store, shopping mall, office or any other business, you have the right to seek compensation for your losses.
At AZ Premises Law, our attorneys have extensive experience handling personal injury claims for clients in Phoenix and throughout Arizona. We are leaders in premises liability law, prepared to handle the most complex cases arising from serious injuries caused by property owner negligence.
Uncovering The Root Causes Of Accidents
Injuries in retail stores can occur due to hazards left untreated, such as:
- Uncleaned or unmarked spills on the floor
- Lack of entryway mats during rainy days
- Cracked tiles and uneven pavement
- Curled rugs or torn carpeting
- Obstructed walkways due to unkempt boxes or fallen debris
- Dim or broken lighting in stairwells, aisles and parking areas
If unsafe conditions were the cause of your injury, you have the right to pursue a slip-and-fall injury claim against the business owner. Our Phoenix law firm utilizes investigative resources to build a solid foundation for your case:
- Sending a spoliation letter: We will send a formal legal demand that compels an owner to preserve security footage of the incident.
- Checking maintenance logs: Our approach involves sending subpoenas to review floor inspection logs to identify instances of skipped cleaning and repairs of the property.
- Conducting building code audits: We establish owner negligence by checking whether their premises abide by the Phoenix Building Construction Code at the time of the fall.
- Gathering witness statements: Our process includes interviewing witnesses, such as customers and employees, to gather more details about the hazard and your fall.
- Reviewing previous complaints: We further establish an owner’s pattern of negligence by investigating records of prior falls.
In handling a personal injury claim, it is important to determine not only what hazard was present, but also whether the property owner knew about it or should have known about it prior to the accident. Proving such negligence is a key aspect of advancing a successful personal injury claim.
Because evidence is crucial in slip and falls, take photos of the scene. If you cannot do so, ask a witness to perform this on your behalf. Report your fall to the property owner or manager, so they can write an incident report. Contact us at 602-536-5183 as soon as you can to receive guided instructions on moving forward with your injury claim.
We Handle Serious Injury Claims
We handle store accident claims resulting in serious injuries, including fractures and injuries to the head, neck and back. Victims of slip-and-fall accidents are often elderly. A hip injury caused by a slippery floor can cause untold pain and suffering, and lead to serious and ongoing medical complications. We work closely with our client to determine the full extent of the damages they have suffered. We work tirelessly to help them pursue full and fair compensation for the losses they have suffered.
