How Do I Know if I Have a Case?
In a slip and fall case, your attorney must prove there was a dangerous condition on someone else’s property that caused your accident and the property owner was negligent in how he or she handled the dangerous condition.
For example, property owners could be held liable for not providing a warning to people about a potential hazard. Even if the property owner was unaware of the dangerous condition, if you can prove he or she should have known, the property owner may be liable.
Arizona property owners have a duty to ensure their property is safe for visitors. The duty varies depending on the legal status of the visitor:
- Invitee ”“ An invitee is someone who was invited onto the property by the owner, usually for business purposes. An example of an invitee is a customer who goes into a store to buy a product. Property owners must take reasonable steps to deal with obstacles and other hazards to keep invitees safe. For example, if an invitee slips and falls on a wet spot on the floor, the property owner may be liable for failing to clean up the spill. The owner may escape liability if there was a wet floor sign.
- Licensee ”“ A licensee is often someone who is a social guest of the property owner. Property owners have an obligation to provide warnings to licensees about dangerous situations that are not obvious to guests.
- Trespasser ”“ A trespasser does not have permission to be on the property. Although property owners are not obligated to warn trespassers about potential hazards, there are some situations where the property owner may be held liable for injuries. For example, if the trespassers are children, they may be protected because they may be less aware of the potential hazards than adults would be.
If you are a tenant on a property owned by someone else, you may be able to pursue a slip and fall claim against your landlord if you can prove:
- The landlord knew the hazard existed.
- The landlord could have corrected the problem without spending an unreasonable amount of money.
- Your slip and fall injury happened as a direct result of the hazard.
- The landlord did not take reasonable steps to remove or correct the hazard.
The qualified Tucson slip and fall attorneys at the Phillips Law Group understand the complexities of these cases. You can discuss what happened in a free consultation with one of our attorneys. There are no upfront fees and we only get paid if we recover compensation on your behalf.

How Much Compensation Can I Recover?
Slip and fall accidents can result in various damages that you may be able to list in your claim:
- Medical expenses ”“ This includes costs for any doctor visits and follow-up appointments, prescriptions, physical therapy or rehabilitation, testing such as x-rays, CT scans etc., surgery, hospital stays, and any assistive equipment such as wheelchairs or crutches.
- Lost income ”“ This includes any wages lost while you were injured and recovering from the accident and unable to work. This also includes times you missed work attending medical appointments. If you have a permanent disability that affects your career, you may be able to recover compensation for lost future earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering ”“ The pain from your injury, both physical and emotional may be compensable in an injury claim. This could include depression, anxiety, fear and other psychological issues.
Our Tucson slip and fall injury attorneys know accident victims often have questions about the types of compensation and the value of their potential claim. This is something you can discuss in a free consultation.
At Phillips Law Group, we have a team of dedicated legal professionals with nearly three decades of experience recovering fair compensation for injury victims throughout Arizona, including in Maricopa, Mohave, Navajo, Pima, Gila, Yavapai, and Pinal counties.
How Much Time Do I Have to File a Claim?
In most cases you have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim, according to Arizona’s statute of limitations. If you do not file within the two-year time period, you may no longer be allowed to do so.
However, there are some instances where this time period could be extended or shortened. For example, if you are a minor, you have two years from your 18th birthday to file a claim. If your claim is against a government entity, you only have 180 days to file a claim.
Our Tucson slip and fall lawyers know how to determine the deadline that may apply to a claim. We encourage you to contact us a free consultation so we can answer your legal questions, including questions about the deadline for filing a claim.

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.

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.

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

Thank you Phillips Law Group for all the support and back to school assistance we appreciate it.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!
