A service of My AZ Lawyers, PLLC, serving Arizona since 1999. Your attorneys are Alison Briggs and Brennan Murray.
More than a thousand client reviews averaging 4.6 stars, all of them public, so take Google's word over ours.
Notice, inspection records, surveillance footage, maintenance history, and comparative fault often decide these claims. We move quickly to preserve what matters.
How It Works
No mystery and no paperwork to start. Here is the whole sequence, from the first phone call to the day your claim resolves.
Seven days a week, 6 AM to 8 PM, at (602) 715-0000. Tell us where you fell and what was wrong with the place: the spill, the broken step, the missing handrail, the dark stairwell, the dog. The call is free, it creates no obligation, and if you can't get to one of our five Arizona offices we'll come to you at home, at the hospital, or over the phone.
Surveillance footage, sweep logs, work orders, and prior complaints about the same hazard are what carry a premises claim, and every one of them sits in the property owner's hands. We send a preservation letter early, because footage tends to get recorded over on the building's own schedule and nobody there is thinking about your case. If you have photos of the spot, the shoes you were wearing, or the name of anyone who saw it, send them to us.
The store you fell in, the company that owns the building, the property manager, the janitorial contractor, the pool service, the dog's owner and the landlord who allowed the dog. These are often not the same party. Arizona uses several liability, so each defendant pays only its own share by percentage of fault, which makes finding all of them part of the work. We pull leases, service contracts, and ownership records to sort out who controlled the hazard.
Keep going to your appointments: gaps in treatment are the first thing an adjuster points at. We collect the records, the bills, and the lost wages, and we take the medical liens off your plate. A provider lien attaches to the settlement or judgment rather than your personal assets, one-third of the recovery is protected from provider liens, and an in-network provider generally cannot lien unless its contract expressly allows it.
Once your treatment reaches a stable point, we assemble the whole file (the hazard evidence, the medical records, the wage loss) and send a demand to the insurer for the property owner. From there we handle the adjuster: the calls, the recorded-statement requests, the back and forth. You do not talk to them, and you do not have to.
Every offer comes to you with a straight read on what it does and does not cover, and the decision to accept is yours, not ours. If the number doesn't match what happened, we file suit within the deadline that applies to your claim: the general two-year window, or the shorter one-year and 180-day notice track if a public entity is involved. If there is a recovery, liens such as AHCCCS and Medicare are repaid out of the recovery, and our fee comes out of it at the percentage you agreed to in writing before we started.
Property owners have to keep the places they invite you into reasonably safe. When they do not, these are the cases that follow.
Wet floors, unmarked spills, and uneven walkways. These cases turn on what the owner knew and when they knew it, which is why the incident report and any footage matter more here than almost anywhere else.
Broken handrails, poor lighting, and stairs that were never brought up to standard. The condition that hurt you often gets repaired within days, which is why documenting it early decides the case.
Bites and knock-downs on private property and in public spaces. Both the animal's history and the property owner's control over it become part of the claim.
Arizona pools carry fencing and supervision duties, and the consequences of ignoring them are catastrophic rather than minor. These claims move quickly and the evidence is physical.
Assaults in parking structures, apartment complexes, and businesses where the risk was foreseeable and nothing was done. What the owner knew about prior incidents is usually the whole argument.
Common Concerns
Almost everyone who calls us hesitated first. These are the six hesitations we hear most, answered straight.
There is nothing to pay up front. The consultation is free and the representation is on contingency, so the fee comes out of a recovery, it is put in writing before you sign anything, and if there is no recovery there is no fee. As for the hospital bill, a provider's lien attaches to the settlement or judgment, not to your home, your car, or your savings. Being out of money is a reason to call, not a reason to wait.
Most people say some version of this, usually within an hour of falling. Arizona is a pure comparative negligence state: being partly at fault reduces a recovery by your percentage, it does not bar it. How the fault gets divided between you and whoever controlled that floor, that stair, or that light is the question a claim exists to answer. It is not a verdict to hand down on yourself before a doctor has even looked at you.
Falls put people into surgery: wrists, hips, shoulders, and heads that felt like a bad headache for the first week. The injury is what it turns out to be, not what the word "fall" suggests. Whether your situation is worth pursuing genuinely depends on the injury, the hazard, and who was responsible for the property, and a free call is a faster way to find out than guessing for another month.
That report was written on the store's form, for the store's file. It is usually thin on the things that decide these claims: where the water came from, how long it had been sitting there, who walked past it, when the aisle was last checked. It is a starting point, not the end of anything. Bring us a copy if you have one, and tell us on the call if you were asked to sign anything else or give a recorded statement, so we can look at what it actually says.
These claims are ordinarily made against a liability policy the owner already carries. That is what the coverage exists for. Whether there is coverage here depends on the property and the policy, and the call will tell us. Arizona also uses several liability, so each defendant pays only its own share by percentage of fault; if more than one person or company had a hand in it (an owner, a landlord, whoever was responsible for keeping the place up), sorting that out is not about piling on your neighbor. And you do not have to be the one making the awkward phone calls. That becomes our job the day you hire us.
Generally you have two years from accrual to file an Arizona personal injury lawsuit, so "a while ago" is often still in time. Public property is the exception that catches people: if you fell on a city sidewalk, at a public school, in a county building, or at a municipal pool, it is one year to file against a public entity or public employee, plus a separate 180-day notice-of-claim deadline that arrives much sooner than that. The deadline is paused while the injured person is under 18 or of unsound mind. Call now rather than next month and we will tell you which clock is running on your claim.

Attorneys at Law · My AZ Lawyers, PLLC
Arizona generally gives you two years from the date your injury claim accrues to file suit. Two deadlines cut that far shorter: a claim against a public entity or public employee must be filed within one year, and it carries a separate 180-day notice requirement on top of that.
Use the two years by starting early, not by spending it. Evidence goes stale on its own schedule: records get archived, witnesses move, and footage is overwritten within weeks.
"You should have been watching where you were going" is the first thing the property's insurer will say. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence: being partly to blame reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault, but it does not bar it. Where more than one party is responsible, several liability means each pays only its own share.
Use it by not disqualifying yourself. Fault percentages are argued from evidence, not settled on the day, and the other side begins building their version of that argument immediately.
A medical provider's lien attaches to your settlement, not to your personal assets, and one-third of your recovery is protected from provider liens by statute. AHCCCS holds its own lien with priority, and Medicare must be repaid for conditional payments out of any settlement.
Use it by having someone work the liens before the money moves. What you actually keep is decided here, not in the headline settlement number, and several of these can be negotiated.
The sooner you call, the more of this is still working in your favor.

The Cost Of Waiting
That is the first thing the property's insurer will say, and it does not end your claim. Arizona uses pure comparative negligence, so being partly at fault reduces recovery by your percentage rather than barring it.
Report it so an incident report exists, photograph the hazard before it is cleaned up, and get medical attention. The condition that hurt you is often repaired within days.
Then the deadlines are much shorter. A claim against a public entity or employee has to be filed within one year and carries a separate 180-day notice requirement, so call quickly.
Generally two years from when the claim accrues, with the shorter government deadlines above. Call and we will check your dates with you.

In Arizona you generally have two years from the date your injury claim accrues to file a personal injury lawsuit.
AZ-PI-0010
Lawsuits against an Arizona public entity or employee have to be filed within one year of when the claim accrues, and that runs in addition to the separate 180-day notice-of-claim deadline.
AZ-PI-0016
For ordinary injury claims the deadline is paused while the injured person is under 18 or of unsound mind, and the full period starts once that disability ends.
AZ-PI-0019
Arizona follows pure comparative negligence, so you can still recover for your injuries even if you were partly at fault, and your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
AZ-PI-0002
Arizona uses several liability, so each defendant pays only its own share of the damages based on its percentage of fault, with a separate judgment against each.
AZ-PI-0013
A medical provider lien attaches to your injury settlement or judgment, not to your personal assets.
AZ-PI-0049
One-third of your injury recovery is protected from provider liens, and an in-network provider generally cannot lien your recovery unless its contract expressly allows it.
AZ-PI-0052
AHCCCS holds a lien on your injury recovery, and you have to notify AHCCCS in writing within 20 days of filing a civil action.
AZ-PI-0055
Medicare is a secondary payer in injury cases, so any conditional payments Medicare made have to be repaid out of a settlement once the at-fault party responsibility is established.
