Wet Floor Accidents in Peoria

Stepping on an unmarked puddle of water can very quickly lead to you slipping and getting severely hurt in an ensuing fall. Because of that, it is vital for both commercial and residential property owners to be aware of spills, leaks, and other possible sources of wet floors on their property, and then to promptly clean up, cordon off, or otherwise address the hazard so that lawful visitors do not accidentally slip on it.

Unfortunately, not every landowner in the Grand Canyon State is as responsible in this regard as they should be, which means that wet floors are one of the most common causes of slip and fall injuries statewide. If you have been hurt in a wet floor accident in Peoria and want to explore your options for seeking civil recovery, a qualified slip and fall lawyer from Phillips Law Group can answer any questions you have about your potential claim and, once retained, guide you step by step through the process of demanding the compensation you deserve.

Who Could Be Legally Liable for a Wet Floor Injury?

Arizona’s premises liability laws can be complex, especially for those unfamiliar with civil litigation. In simple terms, property owners have different “duties of care” based on the reason a person is on their property. Specifically, landowners must promptly address known hazards, warn lawful visitors—such as by placing a “wet floor” sign—about existing dangers, and routinely inspect their property for undiscovered hazards to protect “invitees” who are there for the owner’s financial benefit.

What this all means in the context of wet floor injury lawsuits in Peoria is that a landowner does not necessarily need to have direct personal knowledge of a wet floor to hold civil liability for an injury caused by that hazard. If a retail store owner, for example, failed to ensure their employees regularly checked store aisles for spills and leaks, they could be liable based on the “constructive knowledge” they should have had of that hazard.

Getting Around Legal Roadblocks to Recovery

In addition to proving that a Peoria landowner should have done more to prevent a wet floor injury, a capable slip and fall lawyer can also help with navigating past procedural obstacles that might otherwise get in the way of an injured person getting paid what they deserve. To start with, legal counsel can help build the strongest possible lawsuit or settlement demand within the deadline set by the statute of limitations. As per Arizona Revised Statutes §12-542, this is usually two years after the accident in question happened.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

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...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

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 --...

Furthermore, a legal representative can proactively fight allegations of “comparative fault” made against an injured person—in other words, accusations that they were partly at fault for causing their own injury through their own negligent conduct. Otherwise, A.R.S. §12-2505 would allow a court to assign a percentage of fault to that injured person and then reduce the value of their final damage award by that same percentage.
