  • Injured at the WM Phoenix Open or a Major Golf Tournament: Spectator Gallery Liability

    A WM Phoenix Open injury claim depends on what caused the injury. Being hit by an errant golf ball rarely supports a claim, because spectators generally accept that risk. A fall from the temporary grandstands at the 16th hole, a crowd crush or another safety failure is different, and can point to the tournament host,…

  • Golf Course Injury Claims in Phoenix: Errant Balls, Carts, and Course Hazards

    A golf course injury claim Phoenix players and spectators bring runs into one of the oldest defenses in premises liability. It’s called assumption of risk. Getting hit by an errant ball counts as an inherent part of the game. Arizona courts generally won’t let a golfer sue a fellow player just for hooking a shot…

  • Resort and Hotel Pool Operational Negligence Claims in Scottsdale and Phoenix

    A resort pool injury claim Scottsdale Phoenix guests bring often gets mistaken for a barrier-law case before anyone’s actually looked at what happened. Arizona’s swimming pool statutes are mostly about fencing, gates, and keeping unsupervised children away from residential pools. A resort or hotel pool injury is usually a completely different claim. It comes from…

  • Valet Parking Accident Liability at Phoenix and Scottsdale Resorts

    A valet parking accident liability Phoenix and Scottsdale resort guests deal with turns on a legal concept most people have never heard of. It’s called bailment. The moment a valet takes your keys and drives your car away, you’ve handed over more than convenience. You’ve created a legal relationship. The valet company now owes a…

  • Desert Landscaping Injury Claim Phoenix: Rock, Cactus, and Property Hazards

    A desert landscaping injury claim Phoenix property owners rarely see coming starts with the same rock border or barrel cactus that gives a Valley yard its character. Xeriscaping is the regional default here, not a specialty choice. Decorative rock, unedged boulders, and spiny plants sit inches from sidewalks, driveways, and pool decks across nearly every…

  • Power Line Injury Claim Phoenix: Utility Liability During Monsoon Season

    A power line injury claim Phoenix monsoon season produces almost every year follows a storm script the Valley knows well. Straight-line winds and microbursts tear through in July and August. Poles snap, lines drop across streets and backyards, and transformers fail. Most of the time the grid comes back without anyone getting hurt. Sometimes it…

  • Sky Harbor Airport Accident Claim: Escalators, Trams, and Curbside Injuries

    A Sky Harbor airport accident claim differs from an ordinary premises case in one way that surprises almost everyone: the defendant is the City of Phoenix. Sky Harbor isn’t run by a private company or an airline consortium. The City of Phoenix Aviation Department owns and operates it, along with the Sky Train, the terminals,…

  • Cactus League Stadium Injury Claim Phoenix: Spring Training Premises Liability

    A Cactus League stadium injury claim Phoenix and Scottsdale fans think about usually starts with a foul ball. Every February and March, fifteen major league teams play across ten ballparks scattered through the Valley, and the crowds are enormous. Most injuries at these games never become claims, and an old baseball doctrine is a big…

  • Hot Air Balloon Accident Phoenix: A Unique Aviation Liability Case

    A hot air balloon accident Phoenix flight can end with is rare, and that’s part of what makes the legal side so unfamiliar. The Valley runs one of the largest balloon tourism markets in the country. On calm winter mornings, dozens of commercial flights lift off from the desert north and west of the city.…

  • Arizona State Fairgrounds Injury Claims: Carnival Rides and Vendor Liability

    A State Fairgrounds injury claim Phoenix visitors bring starts in an unexpected place. The fairgrounds itself is run by a five-member board appointed by the Governor, not by the City of Phoenix. The Arizona Exposition and State Fair Board operates the 19th Avenue and McDowell Road fairgrounds under A.R.S. § 3-1001, making it a state…
