What Do You Need to Prove in an Arizona Slip and Fall Claim?
In Arizona, you typically have two years from the date of your injury to file a slip and fall claim under the state’s statute of limitations. If the claim is not filed within this period, it will likely be dismissed.
To win a slip and fall case, several factors must be proven. These include:
Ownership or Control of the Property
Did the defendant have actual control or ownership of the property where the slip and fall occurred?
Dangerous Condition
Was there a defect, hazard, or condition that posed a danger to visitors on the property?
Causation
Did the dangerous condition directly cause your injuries?
Damages
What physical, emotional, and financial damages did you suffer as a result of the accident?
Knowledge of the Hazard
Did the property owner know or should they have known about the dangerous condition? If so, what actions did they take to fix or warn others of the problem?
Obviousness of the Hazard
Was the hazardous condition obvious, meaning the injured person should have noticed and avoided it?
Damages may include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other forms of compensation tailored to the specifics of your case. If the accident resulted in death, the surviving family members may file a wrongful death claim.
If a child was injured in a slip and fall, their parent or guardian can file the claim on their behalf.
HOW CAN MY SLIP & FALL ACCIDENT LAWYER HELP?
An experienced slip and fall lawyer plays a vital role in guiding you through the legal process. Here’s how we can help:
Investigating the Incident
Your lawyer will gather the evidence needed to support your case. This includes collecting documents, talking to witnesses, and identifying the cause of the accident.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Dealing with insurance companies can be stressful and complicated. An experienced lawyer will handle negotiations on your behalf, protecting your rights and minimizing stress while seeking a fair settlement.
Building a Strong Case
Although most slip and fall cases settle out of court, a lawyer will prepare a strong case that can succeed at trial, if necessary. This provides leverage during negotiations and ensures your case is positioned for success.
Addressing Comparative Negligence
A common defense used in Arizona slip and fall cases is comparative negligence. This argument suggests that you were partly responsible for your injuries and therefore should receive less compensation. A skilled lawyer will protect your rights and develop strategies to counter this claim.
At Folger Law Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any legal fees unless we secure compensation for you. We are committed to getting you the compensation you deserve.

FAQ
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in Arizona?
You typically have two years from the date of the injury to file your claim under Arizona’s statute of limitations.
What kind of damages can I recover in a slip and fall case?
You can recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the accident. If the incident led to a death, a wrongful death claim may be filed by surviving family members.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Arizona follows a comparative negligence rule. If you were partially at fault, your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault. However, you may still be entitled to damages if you were not primarily responsible.
How do I prove that the property owner was negligent?
You must show that the property owner either knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn others. Evidence such as witness statements, photographs, and maintenance records can help prove negligence.
Can I handle a slip and fall case without a lawyer?
While it’s possible to handle a slip and fall case on your own, hiring a lawyer can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation. An experienced lawyer can navigate complex legal procedures and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.
