In Arizona, premises liability law categorizes visitors into three distinct groups: invitees, licensees, and trespassers. The differences between these classifications determine the level of property owner responsibility and care owed to individuals on their property.
Slip and fall accidents are some of the most common sources of injury in premises liability cases. Injuries resulting from slip and fall accidents include:
Phoenix’s diverse landscape of residential, commercial, and public properties creates numerous opportunities for accidents and injuries due to negligent property maintenance. At Shapiro Law Team, we understand that property owners have a legal obligation to ensure the safety of individuals lawfully on their premises.

It is a property owner’s responsibility to maintain reasonably safe premises for lawful visitors and to warn them of potential hazards. This duty extends to addressing known safety issues promptly and making reasonable efforts to mark or warn visitors of existing hazards. For commercial properties, this duty may include maintaining safe walkways and implementing appropriate security measures.
Property owners owe a duty of care to lawful visitors only. Lawful visitors include invitees (such as friends or relatives) and licensees (like mail carriers or utility workers). Illegal trespassers, on the other hand, generally cannot file claims against property owners for injuries sustained while unlawfully on the premises.
An exception to the trespasser rule involves child trespassers. Property owners should reasonably anticipate the possibility of neighboring children entering their property absentmindedly. In most jurisdictions, property owners are expected to take precautions against potential hazards that might attract and injure children. Known as “attractive nuisances,” these may include unfenced pools, playground equipment, or other enticing features.
Successful premises liability claims may result in various types of compensation, depending on the plaintiff’s damages. These may include:
Compensation for premises accidents will depend on the circumstances of the case, state laws, and the extent of the plaintiff’s losses. At Shapiro Law Team, we’re prepared to collect and preserve documented evidence to support our clients’ claims for damages, earning them justice and financial recovery.
If you’ve suffered an injury on private property, it’s essential to seek timely help from a premises liability law firm. Per Arizona’s statute of limitations, you have two years or less from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit and pursue damages from the negligent property owner. If you miss this deadline, the courts will not allow your case to proceed and you forfeit your right to pursue legal action.
An experienced Phoenix injury attorney from the Shapiro Law Team can assist you in understanding and navigating the laws that are relevant to your claim, ensuring all deadlines under Arizona’s statute of limitations are met.
In premises liability cases, property owners and their insurers often attempt to shift blame onto the injured party. However, Arizona’s comparative negligence law allows plaintiffs to seek compensation even if they bear partial responsibility for their injuries.
Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence system, which means:
