What Is A Slip and Fall Accident?

If a Phoenix property owner’s negligence creates a hazardous condition, serious injuries can occur. In Arizona, property owners have a duty to keep their property safe for all visitors who have a right to be there (anyone who isn’t trespassing on private property). If a property owner fails to do so, and a visitor suffers slip-and-fall injuries, the property owner may be held financially liable for those injuries. (This is called premises liability.) There must be three events that must happen in order to establish a slip, trip and fall accident, they include:

• The property owner must have known about the hazard on their property
• The property owner or manager much have consciously chosen not to fix the hazard in a timely fashion
• A patron or visitor (legally on the premises) must have tripped or slipped on the hazard

Our team of qualifies slip, trip and fall lawyers will help you determine if all the criteria is met in order to establish a slip and fall premises liability case in Phoenix.
