Slip-and-fall and premises injuries at Scottsdale resorts, restaurants, retail centers, and apartment complexes. Big Dog Law preserves the evidence that wins these cases — before it disappears.
Scottsdale’s economy runs on hospitality, dining, and retail — which means its premises-liability case volume is correspondingly large. Falls in resorts and restaurants, parking-structure incidents in Old Town, pool injuries at apartment complexes, and golf-course incidents at private clubs are all everyday occurrences. The cases that succeed are the ones where critical evidence — incident reports, surveillance video, prior incidents — was preserved before it quietly disappeared.
Scottsdale premises basics
Resort and hotel falls
Wet pool decks, marble lobbies, uneven walkways, poorly lit stairs at major Scottsdale resorts.
Restaurant and bar incidents
Spills not cleaned in a reasonable time, hazards not marked, parking-area assaults at venues with inadequate security.
Retail and shopping-center falls
Fashion Square, Kierland, and other large retail destinations — common patterns include floor-cleaning hazards and sidewalk transitions.
Apartment-complex incidents
Defective stairs and balconies, broken handrails, pool-fence and pool-drain failures.
Golf-course injuries
Cart-path conditions, course-design hazards, and security failures at private clubs.
Negligent security
Hotels, parking facilities, and Old Town venues that knew of recurring incidents and did nothing.
Incident report
If staff filled one out, get a copy in writing — and photograph the exact condition before it's cleaned up.
Surveillance video
Most Scottsdale commercial properties retain footage for only 7–30 days. Written preservation letters in the first week are non-negotiable.
Maintenance and inspection logs
Sweep sheets, work orders, and prior-complaint records frequently establish notice of the hazard.
Prior-incident history
When the same hazard caused other injuries, the case becomes substantially stronger — but the records have to be requested through formal channels.
Building-code and ordinance review
Many Scottsdale-area premises hazards violate municipal code. Code violations make liability much harder to dispute.
