Steps You Can Take After a Trip and Fall Accident in Arizona

Property owners and business owners have a responsibility to maintain their floors, stairways, bathrooms, parking lots, and other areas. If property owners are aware of a potential hazard, they have a responsibility to warn guests about any risks. For example, if cleaning staff have just cleaned a floor, they may have the responsibility to put up signs warning guests that the floor may be wet and could pose a slip hazard. If a property owner is aware of an issue that could affect safety: uneven floors, missing railings on stairwells, broken sidewalks, the property owner may have a responsibility to warn guests. If you have been hurt on another person’s property, you may have the right to seek compensation from insurance or from the negligent property owner for your medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitative care, and pain and suffering. What are some steps you can take if you have been injured in a trip and fall accident? Here are some key steps you can take to protect your rights:

  • Seek medical care immediately. Slip and fall injuries can be serious, but not all injuries may be immediately apparent at the scene of an accident. Certain head injuries, for example, may not become manifest for hours or days, and some of these types of injuries can have serious, if not life threatening complications. Even if you think you have been hurt in an only minor way, you may still want to seek medical attention and follow your doctor’s instructions.
  • Make sure the accident is properly reported. Let the manager or property owner know that you have been injured, and ask if they have insurance. Get contact information of the property owner if you have been hurt in a trip and fall accident.
  • Keep detailed records. If you’ve tripped and fallen, if you can, take notes about what took place and where you fell. If you have a phone and can document any defective issues with the property (debris on the floor, wet surfaces, damaged floors, etc.,) take photos.
