Slip & Fall Injury Attorneys Phoenix

A sudden fall can uproot your life. A slippery grocery store aisle, a cracked sidewalk, a poorly lit stairwell: these aren’t just minor oversights. They’re preventable hazards that can leave you injured, out of work, and swamped with medical bills.

At Rachel Frazier Johnson Law, we understand how angry and frustrated you feel. You didn’t ask for this, and you shouldn’t have to pay, literally and figuratively, for someone else’s negligence. We’re here to make sure your voice is heard, your pain is acknowledged, and the responsible party is held accountable. You deserve justice, and we’re ready to fight for it.

Why Slip and Falls Are More Than “Just Accidents”

A slip and fall might sound minor to some, but you know the truth. It’s life-altering. Here’s what makes these incidents so infuriating:

• They’re preventable. Broken stairs, wet floors, uneven sidewalks: these hazards could and should have been fixed.
• They’re dangerous. Slips and falls often lead to serious injuries like fractures, spinal damage, head trauma, and nerve injuries. These aren’t just bumps and bruises.
• They’re costly. Medical bills pile up fast, not to mention lost income from missing work and the emotional toll of recovery.

You have every right to feel upset, and you have every right to demand accountability.  Slip and fall cases fall under premises liability law, which is clear: property owners must keep their spaces safe for visitors. When they neglect this duty, whether by ignoring dangerous conditions, failing to warn you of hazards, or cutting corners on maintenance, they can and should be held responsible.

Who We Help After a Slip and Fall

Every slip and fall case looks a little different, but we regularly hear from people in similar situations. Our team represents individuals across Arizona who are dealing with the aftermath of a fall and are not sure where to turn.

• People hurt by wet, icy, or unmarked surfaces: You slipped on a spill, a freshly mopped floor, a slick entryway, or a walkway covered in ice or snow, and no one had cleaned it up, blocked it off, or posted a warning.
• People unsure who is responsible: You were injured on someone else’s property, but you are not sure whether the owner, landlord, business, or property manager had a duty to fix the hazard or how long the dangerous condition existed before your fall.
• People who need help proving what caused their fall: You know something caused you to fall, but gathering photos, surveillance footage, incident reports, and maintenance records on your own feels impossible, especially when that evidence could disappear within days.
• People facing serious injuries or insurance pushback: Your fall resulted in a fracture, a head injury, or a back injury, and now you are dealing with mounting medical bills, an insurance adjuster who is disputing your claim, or uncertainty about whether you even have a case.

Wherever you fall on this list, we want you to know that you do not have to sort through these questions on your own. Our team is ready to listen to your story and help you understand your options.

Do You Have a Slip and Fall Case?

You might have a slip and fall case if any of these hazards caused your accident, and the property owner knew about them but failed to address the issue:

• Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
• Broken or uneven sidewalks, flooring, or stairs
• Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots
• Cluttered walkways or unexpected obstacles
• Unsecured rugs or carpets that slide easily
• Snow or ice left uncleared on entryways or paths

Common Injuries and Arizona’s Negligence Laws

Slip and fall accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from bruises that heal within weeks to conditions that affect someone for the rest of their life. Our clients come to us with debilitating injuries of all kinds, such as:

• Fractures, including hip and wrist fractures

• Traumatic brain injuries and other head trauma

• Spinal cord and back injuries

• Nerve damage

• Torn ligaments and soft tissue injuries

Beyond the physical toll, Arizona law gives injured individuals a path to compensation, but that path depends on proving specific legal elements. Slip and fall claims fall under premises liability law, and to succeed, we generally need to establish four things:

1. The property owner owed a duty to keep the premises reasonably safe.
2. That duty was breached by allowing a hazard to exist.
3. The hazard directly caused the fall.
4. The fall led to real damages such as medical expenses or lost income.

Arizona also follows a pure comparative negligence system under Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-2505. This means that even if you are found partially at fault for your fall, perhaps because you were distracted or the hazard was partly visible, you can still recover damages. Your compensation would simply be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Why Do People Choose Us for Slip and Fall Cases?

Slip and fall cases are rarely as simple as they appear. Property owners and their insurers often argue that a hazard was obvious, temporary, or unknown to them, and dismantling those arguments takes experience and preparation.
