When Is a Negligent Property Owner Not Liable For an Arizona Slip and Fall Accident?
The law demands that property owners take reasonable steps to maintain grounds. For instance, if a condition on the property had caused several people to trip and suffer some injuries and the owner still hasn’t taken undertaken efforts to alert or protect clients, then he or she might be liable for slip and falls or trip and falls on the dangerous condition. If, however, there was a hidden impediment that had never caused anybody to fall, was not created by the owner, and there was no way that the owner knew or should have known of the existence of the condition, there will usually not be any fault on the property owner.
