Every premises liability claim is different, but they are generally based on the failure of the property owner to correct a hazard or warn visitors about it to help prevent them from injuring themselves.
Property owners have a legal duty to take adequate steps to maintain their property. This includes making routine checks for hazards or obstacles and fixing them. Property owners also need to be careful not to create a dangerous condition on their premises.
Property owners may not need to correct hazards if they provide proper warnings to visitors about them, such as wet floor signs or signs warning visitors away from an area of the property.
Even if the property owner was renting the property, he or she could still be held liable for injuries to visitors. Victims would need to establish the owner knew or should have known about the condition and failed to fix it.
An important factor in a premises liability case is the legal status of the victim when he or she was on the property. There are a few types of legal classifications for property visitors:
These are usually people who were invited into the property for a business purpose. The most common example of this would be a visitor to a retail store.
A common example would be a houseguest. These are people who were invited to a property for a social purpose. If a child is a licensee, the owner may have a higher obligation to keep him or her safe, depending on the age and intelligence of the child ”“ children do not have the same ability as adults to understand warnings.
These are people who had no permission to be on the property. They may be trespassing after hours or engaging in criminal activity. It can be very difficult to hold a property owner liable for injuries to a trespasser.
However, if the trespasser was a child, the property owner may have a higher obligation for the child’s safety. For example, the property owner could potentially be held liable for a child drowning if the owner did not put a proper fence around the pool, even though the child should not have been there.
These are issues you can discuss with a qualified attorney. The Tucson premises liability lawyers at Phillip Law Group have extensive knowledge of the many factors involved in these claims.

This is a difficult question for an attorney to answer without having a chance to review the specifics of your claim, including the injuries suffered, the hazard that caused the accident, your legal status while on the property, and other factors.
Sometimes injury victims are partially to blame for an accident. They may have ignored warnings or failed to notice a dangerous condition a reasonable person would have seen. Fortunately, Arizona has a comparative negligence law that allows victims who were partially at fault to pursue compensation.
These are complex issues that you can allow an experienced attorney to sort through.
Our Tucson premises liability lawyers are prepared to review your situation in a free consultation. We are here to help Arizona injury victims.
The value of an injury claim greatly depends on the damages suffered by the victim. Damages that often result from a personal injury in a premises accident could include:
There are other factors that can affect the value of a case, including the severity of your injuries and the duration of your medical treatment.
Determining the value of a case is very complicated and an attorney can be an invaluable resource in assessing a case’s value.
Our Tucson premises liability lawyers are ready to help. Call to discuss your situation.
This is an issue that can become complicated. Generally, injury victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. This is the standard statute of limitations for personal injuries in Arizona.
However, there are a variety of exceptions to this deadline that either give victims more time to file or give them less than two years to file. For example, if you were injured on government property, you may want to pursue a claim against a government entity. These claims must be filed within just 180 days of the accident date.
There can be other exceptions as well. For example, if you did not discover your injury right when it happened, the two-year clock on the statute of limitations would not start to run until you discovered the injury.
