Common injuries include broken bones, particularly wrists, ankles, hips, and arms. Traumatic brain injuries can result from hitting your head on the ground or nearby objects.
Spinal cord injuries may cause temporary or permanent paralysis. Soft tissue injuries, including sprains, strains, and torn ligaments, are frequent.

Winning a slip and fall case requires proving that the property owner or occupier was negligent. Arizona law recognizes different duties owed to other types of visitors.
Property owners must provide various types of care to individuals on their property, depending on their status:
To win a slip and fall claim, you must demonstrate the following:
Therefore, you must show that the owner failed to correct the hazard or provide adequate warning. Finally, you must demonstrate that this failure directly caused your injuries and resulting damages.
Property owners often argue that the danger was obvious, that you weren’t paying attention, or that they didn’t have notice of the hazard. The attorneys in our network are skilled at countering these defenses and building compelling evidence of negligence.

They are not intimidated by large corporations and have successfully handled cases against major defendants. Insurance companies offer lowball settlements, but slip and fall attorneys know the actual value of your case and won’t let you settle for less. They work on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront costs; you only pay if they recover compensation.
Arizona's statute of limitations for slip and fall cases is generally two years from the date of your injury. If you don't file your lawsuit within this timeframe, you typically lose your right to pursue compensation.
You can sue a store for a slip and fall if it resulted from their negligence. Businesses must regularly inspect for hazards, clean spills, remove obstacles, and ensure adequate lighting. They must also maintain floors, walkways, and stairs, and warn of known dangers. Common hazards in Tucson include wet floors, torn carpeting, uneven flooring, items in aisles, and poor lighting. Slip and fall attorneys are experienced in handling these cases against businesses in Tucson.
Property owners often defend slip and fall claims by arguing that the dangerous condition was open and obvious. They claim they had no duty to warn you.
However, Arizona law recognizes that even obvious hazards can pose a danger. This is especially true if the property owner should have anticipated that visitors might be distracted or unavoidably encounter the hazard.
The attorneys in our network know how to challenge the "obvious danger" defense. They can show that you were reasonably distracted, the hazard was more dangerous than it appeared, the owner could have easily eliminated the risk, or the owner created the hazardous condition.
Each case is unique. An experienced attorney can evaluate whether you have a strong claim despite the property owner's defenses.
If you’ve suffered an injury in a slip and fall accident in Tucson, you shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden alone. Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe conditions. When they fail in that duty, they should be held accountable.
Injuries from slip and fall accidents can be severe, expensive to treat, and life-altering. Don’t let insurance companies pressure you into accepting an inadequate settlement or convince you that you don’t have a case.
