Statute of Limitations: 2 Years
Most claims must be filed within 2 years of the date of injury. Missing this deadline will permanently bar your case.
Slip and Fall Lawyer in Phoenix and Across Arizona
Property owners must keep premises reasonably safe. When they don't, we investigate quickly to preserve evidence and prove liability.
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they fail — and you're injured as a result — you may be entitled to compensation. Slip and fall cases are more complex than they appear.
Insurance companies routinely deny these claims, blame the victim, and minimize injuries. Saguaro Injury Law knows how to investigate slip and fall cases properly, preserve critical evidence, and prove premises liability under Arizona law.
We work fast to obtain video footage, incident reports, and witness statements before they disappear — and we know how to defeat the 'open and obvious' defense that insurers love to raise.

Arizona Legal Info You Should Know
Notice Requirement
Premises liability requires showing the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. Sweep logs, prior complaints, and surveillance video are key.
'Open and Obvious' Doctrine
Hazards a reasonable person should have seen may reduce recovery — but rarely defeat your case under comparative fault.
Pure Comparative Fault
Arizona follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning your recovery is reduced by your share of fault — but you can still recover even if you were mostly at fault.
