Falls, negligent security, pool incidents, and other premises injuries at Phoenix-area properties. Big Dog Law preserves the evidence that wins these cases — before it disappears.
Phoenix has more visitors, more retail square footage, and more hospitality-industry exposure than any other Arizona city — which means it has a corresponding share of premises-liability cases. Falls in resorts and restaurants, parking-structure assaults, and pool incidents at apartment complexes are everyday occurrences. The claims that succeed are the ones where critical evidence — incident reports, surveillance video, prior incidents — was preserved before it quietly disappeared.
Phoenix premises basics
Resort and hotel falls
Wet pool decks, marble lobbies, uneven walkways, poorly lit stairs.
Restaurant and retail slips
Spills not cleaned in a reasonable time, hazards not marked, walk-off-mat failures.
Apartment-complex incidents
Defective stairs and balconies, broken handrails, pool-fence and pool-drain failures.
Parking-structure injuries
Trip hazards, lighting failures, and assaults attributable to inadequate security.
Negligent security
Bars, hotels, and parking facilities that knew of recurring incidents and did nothing.
Public-property falls
City sidewalks, parks, and transit stations — with the 180-day clock.
Incident report
If staff filled one out, get a copy in writing — and photograph the exact condition before it's cleaned up.
Surveillance video
Phoenix commercial properties commonly 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 Phoenix-area premises hazards violate municipal code. Code violations make liability much harder to dispute.
