What Is Premises Liability?
When you own property, you have a duty to keep it reasonably safe for invited visitors and guests. This is the basic concept involved in premises liability.
When you file a premises liability claim, you’re arguing that the property owner failed to maintain safe property conditions and you were harmed because of it.
Premises liability laws don’t automatically hold property owners responsible for injuries. They’re only responsible for taking “reasonable” steps to protect against “reasonably foreseeable” harm. If the hazardous condition was obvious, they may not be liable.
What Is My Phoenix Premises Liability Case Worth?
Many factors may impact how much money you take home by filing a personal injury claim, including:
- How severely you were injured
- Your current medical costs
- Your current lost wages
- Whether you are expected to suffer a long-term injury
- Future impacts associated with a long-term disability
- Reasonably projected future expenses
- Any impact of Arizona shared fault laws
- Available evidence
- Available insurance coverage options
The value of your personal injury case depends on the extent of your damages. Even if they accept liability, insurance companies often push cookie-cutter settlements on victims. There isn’t a standard amount that you should expect. To get a fair deal, it’s best to have an experienced lawyer carefully evaluate your situation.
Without legal representation, you always risk taking less than you deserve. After an injury, count on our Phoenix premises liability attorneys to fight for the maximum amount you deserve.
What Kinds of Damages Are Available to Victims in a Phoenix Premises Liability Case?
Damages in Arizona personal injury cases are classified as economic damages or non-economic damages.
Possible examples of the damages you may receive if your case is successful include:
- Current medical expenses
- Anticipated future medical bills
- Lost wages
- Lost employee benefits
- Reduced earning capacity
- Rehabilitation
- Ongoing therapies
- In-home health care or personal care assistance
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental trauma
- Diminished quality of life
- Physical disfigurement and scarring
The types of compensation you pursue will depend on your damages. Victims are responsible for identifying all the ways their lives have changed due to injuries. Physical, financial and mental changes should all factor into the equation.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Premises Liability Lawyer in Phoenix?
Most Arizona injury law firms charge contingency fees. KRLG Injury Lawyers follows this contingency fee structure.
Unless we obtain compensation in your case, you won’t pay us a dime. Your attorneys’ fees are based on the amount we win for you. You’ll agree to pay a percentage of your final payout to cover fees for our legal services.
Can I Recover if I’m Being Blamed for an Accident on Someone Else’s Property in Arizona?
All states handle shared fault differently. Arizona is a pure comparative negligence state. Blame is allocated among all parties who share fault. Each responsible party is assigned a percentage of fault—including injured parties who also share blame.
If you’re assigned a portion of the blame, your damages are reduced by that percentage. You do not lose your right to damages unless you were 100% responsible for the injuries.

There are a few steps you can take to protect yourself. If you were injured on someone else’s property, report the injury to someone in charge. Try to take photos or videos of an accident scene or the danger that caused your injuries.
Prompt medical attention should be your top priority. If you do not require emergency care, seek medical care right away. Getting fast medical attention will be key to linking the dangerous property condition to the injuries you suffered.

What Do I Have to Prove to Win a Premises Liability Case in Arizona?
To win a premises liability case, you must establish the following basic elements:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care because they owned, leased, or were otherwise responsible for the property
- You were legally on the premises
- A dangerous condition existed
- The defendant knew, or reasonably should have known, about the hazard
- You were not adequately warned about the danger
- You were injured because of the unsafe condition
- The damages you sustained
Premises liability cases often hinge on whether the defendant “should have known” about the dangerous property condition.
Business owners have a duty to fix dangerous property conditions. They also have a duty to warn you about dangers that can’t be immediately fixed. Finally, they must regularly inspect their property to identify hidden or new risks.
How Long Do I Have to File a Premises Liability Lawsuit in Arizona?
Under Arizona’s statute of limitations, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. The two-year period typically starts to run on the date of an accident or injury. Once two years pass, you’ll be deemed to have given up your right to damages.
Very few exceptions exist. Sometimes you’ll have even less time to start the legal process (particularly when government agencies are involved).
Consulting a lawyer sooner rather than later is always a good idea. Your lawyer can start investigating even while you’re still dealing with your injuries. The strongest evidence will be available soon after an injury.
