Injured Due to Unsafe Facilities in Arizona? Hold Property Owners Accountable.

Property owners and managers in Arizona have a legal responsibility to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for visitors, customers, tenants, and guests.

If you’ve been hurt because of unsafe facilities, AZ Law Now Injury Attorneys can help you understand your rights and pursue compensation for your injuries. Victims of accidents caused by dangerous property conditions often face significant medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to holding negligent property owners accountable.

What Makes a Facility Unsafe in Arizona? (Premises Liability)

Premises liability law covers a wide range of hazardous conditions that can lead to injury. Property owners or those in control of a property (like a business renting a space) have a duty to:

Regularly inspect their property for dangerous conditions.
Repair known hazards in a timely manner.
Adequately warn visitors of hazards that cannot be immediately repaired.

The extent of this duty depends on the status of the visitor (invitee, licensee, or trespasser), with the highest duty owed to invitees (e.g., customers in a store, guests at a hotel).

What to Do If You Are Injured Due to Unsafe Facilities:

Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Your health is the priority. Medical records also serve as crucial evidence.
Report the Incident: Notify the property owner, manager, or an employee about the accident and the unsafe condition as soon as possible. Request that an incident report be filed and obtain a copy if available.
Document the Scene: If possible, take photos or videos of the
hazardous condition that caused your injury before it is cleaned up or repaired. Also, photograph your injuries.
Gather Witness Information: Get the names and contact details of anyone who saw the accident or the unsafe condition.
Preserve Evidence: Keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing at the time of the incident.
Do Not Give Recorded Statements to Insurance Adjusters
without Counsel: Insurance companies may try to minimize your
claim.
Contact AZ Law Now Injury Attorneys: An experienced premises liability attorney can evaluate your case, advise you of your rights, and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Statute of Limitations in Arizona

Generally, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit for unsafe facilities in Arizona (A.R.S. § 12-542).

Important Note for Claims Against Government Entities: If your injury occurred on public property, you must file a formal Notice of Claim with the responsible government body within 180 days of the injury, and a lawsuit must be filed within one year. Missing these critical deadlines can prevent you from recovering damages.
