Slip and Fall Cases at Arizona Stores — What You Should Know

The legal standard Arizona stores owe customers a duty to keep premises reasonably safe and to warn of known hazards.

Notice — actual or constructive You must show the store either knew about the hazard or should have known through reasonable inspection.

Evidence to preserve - Security camera footage (often overwritten in 7–30 days) - Incident reports - Witness statements - Photos of the hazard, your footwear, and your injuries

Comparative fault Stores often argue you weren't watching where you were going. Arizona's pure comparative fault rule means partial fault still allows recovery.

Act fast The 7-day window to preserve video is the most common reason these cases fail.
