Tucson Slip & Fall Attorneys

Finding a top trip-and-fall lawyer or slip-and-fall lawyer is an important step in obtaining fair compensation in your claim. However it is very important to understand that Tucson slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall cases can be very difficult. Now, it may be surprising to hear a Tucson personal injury lawyers who have helped people throughout the state of Arizona talk about the fact that certain cases are difficult. However, we believe in straight shooting with people. We believe in letting people know the strengths and weaknesses of their claims. There is no doubt that there are many times where the owner or possessor of property has done something negligent and they are responsible for an injury that occurs. However, there are also challenges inherent in these cases that have to be addressed at the outset.

First, it is important to determine who is responsible for the fall. Many people believe that any time they are injured in a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall on somebody else's property, the owner of the property is required to pay for their medical bills and compensate them for the injury they suffered. This is not necessarily the case. The reality is that Arizona law does not make the owner of property the "insurer" of anything that happens on their property. The person who owns the land or possesses the land is responsible for their negligence in causing the accident. Therefore it is not enough to show that a fall happened and that you or a loved one were seriously injured. It is vital to be able to show what the owner of the property did or did not do that should not have been done that caused the accident.

Also, many times a Tucson slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall injury have more than one person who is held responsible. For instance, there are many times where somebody trips on a dangerous condition. The owner of the property knew that this was a dangerous condition. Many times, the owner or person possessing the property actually created the condition and knew or should have known that it was unreasonably dangerous and was going to lead to an injury. However, there are times where in spite of all that information you will face a situation where people will believe that even though the condition was potentially dangerous, the person who fell should have looked where they were going. This is what we call comparative fault.
