Am I Eligible to Pursue Compensation?

It is difficult to know if you have a case without understanding the circumstances that led to your accident.

Before proceeding with a claim, your attorney will want to confirm that you had a legal right to be on the property at the time of your accident. The law defines the status of visitors as:

  • Invitees ”“ Allowed by the owner to visit the property, such as for the purpose of business.
  • Licensees ”“ A visitor at a social gatherings in a private home
  • Trespassers ”“ Someone who does not have permission to be on a property. The property owner is likely not responsible for any damages to a trespasser.
  • Child trespassers ”“ If a property owner is aware of the possibility that children can trespass on the property, but does nothing to prevent a hazardous condition, he or she may face liability.

A qualified lawyer will also need to determine whether your situation meets these four elements of negligence:

Duty of Care

Establishing that the property owner had a legal obligation to keep you safe on his or her property.

Breach of Duty of Care

Proving the hazard was a violation of the property owner’s duty.

Causation

Providing proof of causation, which exists if the property owner was aware of the dangerous condition but neglected to correct or repair it and that hazard then caused you to suffer an injury. This is a difficult task to establish without the help of an experienced attorney.

If you have a valid case, our attorneys will fully investigate the accident in an attempt to prove that there is a link between the negligence of the property owner and your injury.

Damages

Establishing evidence that you suffered damages as a result of the property owner’s negligence and your resulting injury, which could be financial, pain and suffering and more.

Is There a Time Limit to File a Claim?

If you suffered a premises liability injury because of another’s negligence, it is important that you do not delay if you are considering legal action. In Arizona, accident victims have just two years to file a claim. The clock begins ticking from the day the accident occurs. Claimants that surpass this deadline may miss out on the chance to obtain compensation.

Building a strong case takes time, so we strongly recommend contacting our firm without delay. If you believe that your two-year limit may have already passed, it should not discourage you from speaking to a qualified lawyer. Each premise liability claim is unique and your situation may have a different timeframe.
