Arizona Premises Liability - Dangerous Floor Conditions Can Be Hidden

One of the main reasons that floor conditions lead to so many Arizona slip and fall cases is because people who enter a property tend to assume that the surface on which they're walking is safe.  Therefore, few people would tend to notice that a floor is wet and therefore slippery, and few people would ever step lightly and carefully on a floor with the assumption or even the suspicion that they will fall through the floorboards.  When people are not aware of a dangerous condition, they are not prepared to deal with it and therefore tend to suffer serious injuries.

AZ Consumers Assume They Will Be Warned of Hazardous Conditions

Most of us have been on a property where the floors were wet at the time, and most of us also recognize the yellow warning signs that tend to be put on display when the floor is wet and footing is tenuous.  This would serve as an example of the common and reasonable expectation of invitees and licensees - that those responsible for the upkeep of a property will take basic steps to provide warnings if conditions are dangerous.  This is precisely why Arizona slip and fall cases arise in the aftermath of an injury that occurs because of a dangerous floor - because the law requires property owners to either remove the danger or to place clear warnings in the area so that people do not get unnecessarily hurt.
