How can I determine if I have a valid premises liability claim?
In Arizona, if you slip and fall on someone else’s premises, you can pursue a premises liability claim if it can be shown that the owner/occupier of the property was negligent in some way. To determine if you have a valid premises liability claim, you should start by considering these factors: 1. Was the property owner or occupier aware of or should the owner/occupier have been aware of the dangerous condition that caused your fall? 2. Was the dangerous condition created by the property owner or occupier, or did it exist prior to your incident? 3. Was the hazardous condition – such as liquid on the floor, snow or ice – properly marked or otherwise made known to you? 4. Was the condition unreasonable, given the intended use of the property? 5. What kind of precautions did the property owner or occupier take to ensure your safety? If your slip and fall incident meets any of these criteria, you may be eligible to pursue a premises liability claim. Keep in mind, however, that these claims can be complex and require an experienced attorney to assess your case and maximize the value of your claim. If you’re unsure about whether you may have a valid premises liability claim in Arizona, consult with an experienced premises liability attorney to discuss the details of your case and receive the legal guidance you need.
