How we match your Arizona slip and fall case

When you submit a Arizona slip and fall matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A slip and fall matter needs someone who handles slip and fall work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Arizona law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Arizona who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

Arizona is one of the more plaintiff-friendly premises-liability states: pure comparative fault means you can still recover even if you’re mostly at fault (recovery is just reduced), and the Arizona Constitution prohibits caps on personal injury damages (Ariz. Const. art. 2, § 31). Arizona follows traditional invitee/licensee/trespasser classifications. The open-and-obvious doctrine survives but is treated as a factor — not an automatic bar. Despite the favorable framework, defendants still control the evidence (incident reports, footage, inspection logs), so speed matters.

You must show a dangerous condition existed, the owner had actual or constructive notice, and failed to remedy or warn. Arizona also recognizes the “mode of operation” theory under Chiara v. Fry’s — if the business’s method of operation creates a foreseeable hazard, you may not need to prove how long the specific hazard existed.

Defendants control the evidence — incident reports, surveillance, inspection logs — and they have aggressive corporate counsel. Even with pure comparative fault, percentages still reduce recovery, and stores will work to push fault onto you.

In Arizona, open-and-obvious is a factor courts consider, not an automatic bar. If a hazard was foreseeable and the owner should have anticipated harm despite obviousness (a customer focused on shelves, for example), a duty may still exist.

Get the incident report, photograph the hazard, identify witnesses, and request preservation of surveillance footage immediately. Arizona’s mode-of-operation rule under Chiara helps in self-service environments where spills are foreseeable.

Arizona’s monsoon brings sudden, heavy rain that can flood entryways. Businesses must take reasonable steps — mats, mopping, warning signs — once they know or should know water has been tracked in.

Yes. Arizona’s Notice of Claim statute (A.R.S. § 12-821.01) requires written notice within 180 days of the injury, and suit must be filed within 1 year. Miss either deadline and the claim is barred.

Arizona slip and fall attorneys typically work on contingency: no upfront fee, paid a percentage of the recovery. Typical contingency fees range from 33% to 40% depending on whether the case settles or goes to trial.
