Property Owner Liability

In Arizona, property owners have the responsibility to take reasonable action to ensure legal visitors, customers or tenants are safe while on their property. This may apply to office buildings, apartments, homes, malls, amusement parks, hotels, parking garages, retail stores, restaurants, or any other real property. Property owners or managers should take care to perform proper maintenance on property grounds and also to provide adequate security measures if necessary. Negligence in these areas may lead to a number of hazardous situations:

• Poorly lit walkways
• Missing stairs
• Poor building structure integrity
• Objects in walkways
• Wet floors, with no warning signs
• Standing water
• Uneven walkways
• Inadequate security personnel
• Inadequate security surveillance equipment

Any of these conditions may lead to serious injury. If you or someone you know was injured on another's property, please contact Scottsdale premises liability lawyer Bob Goldwater today for a free consultation.
