What to do after a slip and fall in Arizona
The steps you take after a fall can decide the claim. If you can, report the fall to the property owner, manager, or staff and ask for a written incident report. Photograph what caused the fall — the spill, the broken step, the ice, the poor lighting — right away, because it can be cleaned up or fixed within minutes. Get names and numbers for any witnesses and staff, and get medical care even if you feel able to walk away, since some injuries appear later. Be careful about giving a recorded statement to the property's insurer before you have spoken with an attorney.
How we handle your Arizona slip and fall claim
You focus on healing; we handle the rest. We gather the incident report, any surveillance video, your medical records, and the evidence of the hazard, deal with the property owner's insurer so you don't have to, and build the strongest version of your claim before demanding a fair recovery. Slip and fall cases turn on the hazard and whether the owner knew or should have known about it — and on pushing back when they try to blame you for not watching your step. Every slip and fall matter starts with a free, confidential review. Se habla español.

Arizona deadlines and fault rules
In Arizona, the deadline to file most slip and fall claims is generally two years from the date of the fall, with a much shorter notice deadline — often about 180 days — for claims against a government entity. Arizona also follows a pure comparative-fault rule. An owner's duty can depend on why you were on the property (for example, as a customer versus a social guest). Talk with us early so no deadline is missed.

Arizona injury law: deadlines, fault and caps
Arizona injury law has some features that set it apart from its neighbors.
- Filing deadline: Arizona generally gives you two years from the injury to file, but only 180 days to serve a notice of claim on a public entity.
- Fault: Arizona follows pure comparative negligence — being partly, or even mostly, at fault reduces your recovery but does not bar it.
- Damage caps: Arizona is unusual: its constitution prohibits caps on injury or death damages, so a statutory cap does not limit what you can recover.
- Multiple defendants: Arizona generally applies several (not joint) liability, so each responsible party is accountable for its own share.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in Arizona?
Deadlines vary by state and by who owns the property, and they can be short — especially if a government entity owns it. Because a missed deadline can end a claim entirely, the safest step is a free review right away.
The store says the fall was my own fault. Does that end my claim?
Not necessarily. Property owners must keep their premises reasonably safe, and insurers routinely blame the injured person for not watching where they walked. Even if you were partly at fault, you may still recover under a comparative-fault rule.
