What Qualifies as a Slip and Fall Case?

Slip and fall cases can be difficult to prove without the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney. The victim must prove his or her injury was a result of a property owner’s negligence and the accident would not have occurred otherwise.

Property owners have a legal obligation to make sure their property is reasonably safe for visitors, depending on the legal classification of the visitor:

• Invitees are invited onto the property by the owner for business or financial gain. For example, a store owner has a legal obligation to reasonably maintain the property to make sure it is safe for customers to come in and shop.
• Licensees include social guests invited onto the property by the owner. The property owner is legally responsible for warning his or her guests about any possibly dangerous conditions that may not be obvious.
• Trespassers are people who do not have permission to be on the property. For the most part, property owners are only responsible for not trying to bring intentional harm to trespassers. However, child trespassers may have more legal protection since they may be less aware of a dangerous condition. The property owner may be forced to make changes to the property to ensure children can no longer access a dangerous condition, such as a swimming pool.

Who May Be Held Liable?

Slip and fall accidents can happen almost anywhere, including private homes, driveways, businesses, commercial parking lots and various other locations. Sometimes multiple parties can be held liable for your accident, depending on where it occurred. This is something your lawyer can help determine.

One of the most important factors in determining liability is the type of property where the accident happened:

Residential property ”“ The property owner, tenant or a third-party vendor could potentially be liable for a slip and fall accident.

In these types of cases, it must be proven that the property owner should have known about the dangerous condition and the accident was directly caused by the condition.

Some dangerous conditions may include:

Commercial property ”“ Multiple parties may hold liability for a slip and fall accident at a commercial location, such as:

• The property owner or landlord is usually responsible for the overall maintenance and safety of the location, even if he or she is not the business owner.
• The business owner is legally obligated to take reasonable measures to maintain a safe environment. He or she may be held liable for any issues with walkways, poor lighting or broken glass.
• Individual employees can be held liable if they were aware of a hazardous situation at the workplace and did not rectify the situation or notify the owner or their supervisor.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Slip and Fall Claim?

The statute of limitations in Arizona gives most personal injury victims two years to file a claim. However, there may be some cases when this time period may be longer or shorter, depending on the details of your claim.

For instance, if your claim is against a government body, you have just 180 days to provide notice of your intent to file a claim. If you were a minor at the time of the accident, you usually have two years after your 18th birthday to submit your claim.

If you do not submit your claim on time, it could be dismissed, and you may lose the opportunity to pursue compensation. Determining which deadline applies to your case is something our Lake Havasu City slip and fall lawyers may be able to verify for you in a free consultation.
