Arizona Slip and Fall Lawyers Protecting Injury Victims’ Rights
Premises Liability
Slip and fall is a type of premises liability case. Premises liability refers to an owners responsibility to keep their premises safe for visitors. This applies to homeowners and commercial owners like stores and restaurants. In Arizona, the owners liability depends on the legal classification of the visitor. A visitor is typically categorized as an invitee or licensee. An invitee is someone who is on the premise for a business purpose. When you go to a store or restaurant, you are an invitee. A licensee is a social guest. When you go to a friend’s house for dinner, you are a licensee.
Steps to Take After a Fall
Ensure Safety
Move to a safe location if possible and check for injuries.
Call Emergency Services
Report the accident to the police and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor.
Document the Scene
Take photographs, gather contact information of witnesses, and note important details.

The duty of care owed to a licensee is to warn of known, concealed dangers. Owners do not have a duty to discover, meaning they must actually know of the danger. Liability also only extends to dangers concealed to the guest. This is a lower standard than what is owed to business invitees.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Victims of a slip and fall may be eligible for various forms of compensation, including:
Medical Expenses
Coverage for hospital bills, rehabilitation, and future medical care.
Lost Wages
Reimbursement for income lost or reduced earning capacity due to the extent of your injuries.
Property Damage
If your personal property was damaged during the fall—such as a broken phone, glasses, or clothing—you can include the cost of repairs or replacements in your claim.
Pain and Suffering
Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident.
Future Medical Expenses
Compensation for future medical needs, such as surgeries, treatments, long-term rehab, in-home care, or home modifications for disabilities.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are awarded in cases where the property owner’s conduct was reckless or egregious.
