Erika A.
I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

Emily N.
My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

Who Is at Fault for a Sidewalk Fall?
Determining who is legally responsible for a sidewalk fall depends on where the accident happened and who had the duty to maintain the area. In many cases, private property owners are responsible for keeping sidewalks adjacent to their property reasonably safe. If a business or homeowner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it, they may be liable for your injuries.
In other situations, the City of Mesa or another government entity may be responsible for maintaining the sidewalk. Claims against government agencies follow different rules from claims against private parties. Arizona law requires you to file something called a Notice of Claim within a strict time frame before you can pursue a lawsuit. You have a limited amount of time to act in these cases, so any delay could hurt your case.
One of the most important ways our attorneys can help is by determining the cause of a Mesa sidewalk slip and fall accident. This gives us the opportunity to identify any party who might be liable for your losses.
Comparative Fault and Sidewalk Fall Injuries
Arizona follows a pure comparative fault system, which means your damages can be reduced if you are found partially responsible for your fall. For example, a property owner might argue that you were wearing improper footwear or had been warned of the hazard, and that your own behavior contributed to your injuries.
Even if you share some degree of fault, you can still recover damages from the property owner. However, the amount you receive will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If you are found 20 percent at fault, your total award would be reduced by that same percentage.
Insurance companies often try to shift as much blame as possible onto the injured person to limit what they have to pay. Our firm can develop a theory of negligence that highlights the extent of the other party’s fault while defending you from claims your were partially to blame.
