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.
Our Lake Havasu City slip and fall lawyers are prepared to review your situation in a free consultation to help determine the legal duty you may have been owed before your accident.

- Lost wages ”“ You may be eligible to receive compensation for wages you lost on days you missed work because of your injury, including times you missed work because you had to go to get treatment or meet with doctors. Sometimes slip and fall victims can suffer severe injuries, like traumatic brain injuries, and they may never be able to return to work or return to the same job as before. If this happens to you, you may be able to recover compensation for lost earning capacity.

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:
- Uneven pavement
- Torn carpeting
- Broken steps
- Broken railing on a stairway
- Poorly-lit hallways/walkways
- Holes in the ground
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.
Government property ”“ You may be able to pursue a claim against a government entity, but there are specific rules you must follow.
The Lake Havasu City slip and fall lawyers at Phillips Law Group are prepared to pursue many types of slip and fall cases.
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.
Call 1-800-706-3000 to reach Phillips Law Group and set up your free consultation.

I just wanted to thank Phillips law Group and Vanessa Rodriguez for all the help that she did for my daughter’s case. She was involved in her first accident and she needed the help to deal with these adjusters. Thank you again.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

I enjoy my work day here at Phillips Law Group and generally speaking I love my clients. Every day brings a new client or task to keep me on my toes. Administration keeps open communication and is hilarious most of the time! I love the way we celebrate FRIDAY, holidays and birthdays and how everything is so competitive. All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.

Although my accident was fortunately not a major one, The Phillips Law Group AZ treated it as such. Their staff, specifically Mr Juan Roque was very professional, courteous and most importantly very informative. Mr Roque's attentive service was phenomenal and I highly recommend this firm!

My review is for Kathy Hudson a legal assistant at the law firm. She is great! She is very professional and a fair based person. She was never rude to me and always called me back. She listened to me and had my best interest as number 1. Mr Nasir who is a supervisor at law firm also was very professional and helpful. Not sure if spelling his name correctly but sorry if not. As far as mr Ross and the lady that runs the front desk reception I would say they are the most unprofessional and rude people I have met at a law firm in my life especially beings they were representing me. But Kathy made it overall a better experience. Thx Kathy.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .
