Scottsdale slip and fall lawyer

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

  • Property owners and operators owe a duty of reasonable care to people lawfully on the property.
  • Most Arizona premises claims have a 2-year statute of limitations.
  • Public-property claims (sidewalks, parks, transit stations) require a 180-day Notice of Claim.
  • Comparative negligence applies — even partial responsibility doesn't bar recovery.

Common Scottsdale premises cases

  • 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.

Evidence we move on first

  • 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.
