Wet floor signs are a common sight in all kinds of commercial properties and even some residential ones, and for very good reason. If a property owner fails to warn visitors about this type of hazard, they may be civilly liable for any injury caused to a visitor by that hazard. Unfortunately, property owners and those they hire to maintaining their properties sometimes neglect to notify visitors of hazards, and accidents occur.
A failure by a property owner or manager to fulfill the duty of care they owe to lawful visitors can serve as strong grounds for personal injury litigation. Phillips Law Group attorneys are experienced in pursuing compensation for wet floor accidents in Prescott, so if you were recently injured in an incident that you believe meets these criteria, contact Phillips Law Group as soon as possible to discuss your options for civil recovery.
Important Evidence in Wet Floor Accident Claims
To hold a property owner in Prescott legally liable for a wet floor injury, the person who sustained that injury must prove that the property owner directly caused the injury to happen by violating a duty of care owed to the injured person. In practice, this typically means showing that the defendant should have provided more warning about the relevant hazard after initially learning of it or should have done more to fix the hazard after initially learning of it. Additionally, if the injured person was visiting the property in question for the owner’s financial benefit, the owner should have discovered and addressed the hazard through regular and diligent inspection of the property.
Verdicts And Settlements

Slip and Fall -Fractured Femur
$ 500,000
Slip and Fall -Fractured Elbow, Tailbone, Torn Ligaments
$ 450,000
Slip and Fall -Broken Wrist, Herniated Disk, Compressed Disk
Establishing all this through a preponderance of the evidence can require information from multiple sources, including but not limited to:
- Interviews with witnesses to the accident
- Footage from security cameras of the accident or the accident scene
- Photos of the accident scene and the hazard that caused the accident
- Clothing and footwear the injured person was wearing when the accident happened
- Medical bills, pay stubs, and other documentation showing the severity of injuries and ensuing financial and personal losses
Support from skilled legal counsel can be key to finding, preserving, and making effective use of all relevant evidence during settlement negotiations or, if necessary, a lawsuit in civil court.

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 --...

How Legal Counsel Can Help With Legal and Procedural Obstacles
A qualified Prescott lawyer can also help proactively contest accusations of comparative fault made against a wet floor accident victim—in other words, allegations that they caused their accident through their own negligent conduct. If these accusations are not effectively contested, Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 12-2505 allows the court overseeing a case to reduce the total compensation available to the injured person in proportion to their assigned share of fault for the accident.
Even more importantly, legal representation can be vital to building and filing a strong claim within the statute of limitations for premises liability lawsuits. Under A.R.S. § 12-542, most people hurt in slip and fall accidents of any kind have a maximum of two years to file suit after their initial injury.
