If this has happened to you, it’s worth speaking with a lawyer who focuses specifically on premises liability cases.

Arizona Slip and Fall Law
Two legal rules shape almost every slip and fall case in Arizona: how fault gets divided, and how much time you have to act.
Fault-Sharing Rules: Arizona follows what’s known as pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505). In plain terms, you can still recover compensation even if you bear some responsibility for the fall — your payout is simply reduced by your share of the blame. If a jury decides you were 40% at fault for not noticing a hazard, you’d still be entitled to the remaining 60% of the damages awarded. Many states cut off recovery entirely once a victim crosses the 50% mark; Arizona doesn’t impose that limit.
Filing Deadlines: You generally have two years from the date of your fall to file a lawsuit in Arizona (A.R.S. § 12-542). Miss that window, and you likely forfeit your right to sue, no matter how strong your case might otherwise be.
What Are the Most Common Slip and Fall Injuries?
- Bruising and soft tissue damage — caused by the impact of hitting the ground or nearby objects
- Broken bones — hips, wrists, and ribs are especially vulnerable in a hard fall
- Head trauma — a blow to the head can cause a concussion or more serious traumatic brain injury, sometimes with delayed symptoms like confusion or memory loss
- Emotional aftereffects — anxiety, fear of the location where the fall occurred, or trauma responses similar to PTSD
- Fatal outcomes — particularly among elderly victims or those with underlying health conditions; families in this situation may have grounds for a wrongful death claim
What To Do After a Slip & Fall Accident In Arizona
- Get checked out medically — even a seemingly minor fall can cause internal injuries that aren’t obvious right away.
- Document what happened on-site — file a report with the property owner, manager, or police, and take photos of the hazard while it’s still visible.
- Collect supporting evidence — witness names and contact info, timestamps, and anything else that helps establish how and why the fall occurred.
- Talk to an attorney early — the sooner a lawyer gets involved, the better positioned you’ll be to preserve evidence and build a strong claim.
Who Is Liable for Slip and Fall Accidents & Injuries?
Winning a slip and fall case usually comes down to proving one of the following about the property owner or manager:
- They were aware of a hazardous condition and never fixed it
- They reasonably should have known about the hazard and failed to act
- Their own actions created the dangerous condition in the first place
Courts weighing these cases often look at how long the hazard existed, whether the owner had a reasonable opportunity to address it, whether any negligence on the visitor’s part contributed to the accident, and whether the owner made any attempt at a fix or warning.
What Is the Process of Filing a Slip and Fall Claim in Arizona?
Case Investigation
We dig into the specifics of your situation — whether you had a legal right to be on the property, who was responsible for maintaining it, what hazard caused your fall, and whether the owner had prior knowledge of the danger.
Insurance Negotiations
From there, we take over communication with the property owner’s insurer, so you’re not stuck fielding calls or handling paperwork while you’re trying to recover.
Litigation, If It Comes to That
Most claims resolve through negotiated settlements, but if the insurance company won’t offer a fair amount, we’re prepared to file suit and take the case to court.
