What type of notice should I give the property owner if I slip and fall?

If you slip and fall on someone else’s property in Arizona, you should give the property owner notice of your accident as soon as possible. Depending on the circumstances of the fall, you may need to provide written notice to the owner or legal possessor of the property. Generally, you must provide the notice within a reasonable amount of time, usually 90 days. It is important that your notice explains the exact details of your slip and fall. Be sure to include the date, time, and location of the accident and any other relevant details. In addition, you should describe any injuries you suffered as a result. Providing photos of the scene can also be helpful. If it is necessary to provide written notice, it should be sent via certified mail and proof of delivery and receipt should be kept. Additionally, if the owner is a government entity, you must provide the exact legal name of the entity as well as the name of the correct contact person. The contact must be sent via registered mail. No matter how you provide notice, you should never discount the importance of providing a notice to property owners when you have a slip and fall accident. Taking this action can be essential to protecting your legal rights and ensuring that you are compensated for any injuries or losses you have suffered.
