Under Arizona law, property owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their premises. This includes repairing uneven pavement and addressing other hazards that could cause harm. If a property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries.
Arizona law imposes a statute of limitations on personal injury claims. Generally, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. However, if the injury occurred on public property, you must file a formal Notice of Claim within 180 days. Missing these deadlines can bar you from seeking compensation.
