What Is Premises Liability?
“Premises liability” is the area of law that holds property owners legally responsible for maintaining safe conditions. In Arizona, property owners owe this duty of care to visitors; they must address known dangers and fix them promptly, or warn visitors about them before they hurt themselves. The specific type of visitor you were may affect the extent of the property owner’s obligations; we recommend speaking to an Arizona premises liability attorney to discuss your case.

Types of Premises Liability Claims
Premises liability cases can arise from various situations where property owners fail to maintain safe environments. Common types of claims include:
- Slip and Fall Accidents: Wet floors, uneven sidewalks, or poor lighting can lead to serious injuries.
- Negligent Security: Inadequate security measures (e.g., broken locks or lack of lighting) may result in assaults or other crimes on the property.
- Dog Bites: Property owners can be held liable if their dog attacks someone on their premises without provocation.
- Swimming Pool Accidents: Unsecured pools or lack of proper supervision can lead to drowning or other injuries.
- Falling Objects: Items improperly stored on shelves or construction materials can cause harm when they fall unexpectedly.
These incidents often result in severe injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, or even wrongful death.
Common Injuries in Premises Liability Cases
Victims of premises liability accidents often suffer life-altering injuries that require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Common injuries include:
- Fractures from slip and fall accidents.
- Head injuries caused by falling objects or unsafe surfaces.
- Lacerations and infections from dog bites.
- Drowning or near-drowning incidents in swimming pools due to negligence.
If you’ve suffered any of these injuries because of unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, our premises liability attorneys are here to help you recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arizona Premises Liability
Can I file a lawsuit if I get hurt at someone else’s house?
Yes. If you are a guest at the house, the homeowner owes you a duty to protect against any dangerous condition. If there is a condition that causes you to fall, the homeowner can be responsible if they “knew or should have known” of the dangerous condition. This standard removes responsibility to the homeowner for situations they could not reasonably expect or be aware of. But, if you fell because of an issue that could have been repaired or fixed and the homeowner knew about it or should have noticed it, then they will be responsible.

What should I do if the property owner denies responsibility?
Your only recourse is to file a lawsuit. A good lawyer will be able to help you identify evidence and laws that apply to show if the property owner should be responsible for the fall; this may be the case even if you were on the property without permission. A jury or arbitrator will determine if the property owner should have responsibility.

How can a lawyer help me with a slip and fall accident?
If you are involved in a slip and fall accident, there are a lot of issues to address. It can become overwhelming to handle the medical treatment, calls from the insurance company, medical bills, lost wages, and submitting information to the insurance company. A good lawyer can take that off your plate and make sure you can focus on feeling better. The best ways a lawyer can help are:
- Stop the phone calls from the other insurance company
- Request incident reports and talk to any witnesses
- Gather vital evidence such as surveillance footage
- Find insurance from the at-fault company/store/building and any other sources
- Make sure you are not overcharged for medical treatment
- Work out the reimbursement of your medical charges to your health insurance company
- Prepare your case to meet the legal burdens of proof if litigation is necessary.
