Arizona Premises Liability Laws
When you decide to take legal action against the property manager or building owner who was responsible for your accident and subsequent injuries, knowing the law is of the utmost importance. This way, you can be sure your case is as strong as possible as well as follows all the correct guidelines.
One of those laws that you need to know is the statute of limitations. In Arizona, all personal injury claims fall under the same statute of limitations, which also applies to premises liability claims. Arizona Code states that a victim has two years from the date of the injury from someone else’s negligence to file a claim against that responsible party.
There are some factors that could extend that timeline, but in general, you have two years. If you take longer than two years, your case will be thrown out. However, if you fall under some special circumstances, then you might be able to still file. For instance, if you didn’t realize you were injured until much later, you could have two years from the date you discovered your injuries.
It’s vital for you to file within the proper timeline because if not, your entire case could be dismissed, and you’re left without justice for what you’ve suffered. That’s why you need our Chandler, AZ premises liability attorney on your side. We can answer all your questions and ensure we’re filing your claim within the time period necessary.
Pure Comparative Fault in Arizona
There are other laws in our state that are helpful to know when you’re interested in filing a premises liability claim. Additionally to the statute of limitations, you’ll need to know that our state functions under pure comparative fault.
This means that if you are found to be even partially at fault, that you could be liable for part of those damages. Even if you are partly at fault, you can still recover compensation for what you’ve suffered, your financial recovery will just be reduced by the percentage that you’re found to be at fault.
When you have a lawyer on your side, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that they have the experience and knowledge needed to prove the other party was at fault. They’ll do this by looking into the evidence you have and proving the elements of fault. They will also be major in your claim because they will be there to give proof that you were not at fault for what happened.
Since comparative fault is present, the other party will likely do everything in their power to prove that you were also negligent and caused your own injuries, or that you were fully at fault for what happened. Our lawyers are here to compile your evidence and stand up for your rights by fighting back. We’ll work to prove that you were not at fault, or if you were partially at fault, we will work to prove that your contribution was as small as possible.
You don’t have to handle all of this on your own. When you have our Chandler, AZ premises liability lawyer on your side, you can take the pressure off yourself and know that we have your claim covered. We’ll work diligently to get you the justice you deserve.
