  • Chase Field and Footprint Center Spectator Injury Claims: The “Baseball Rule” Explained

    A Chase Field spectator injury claim from a foul ball runs into a statute most other stadium injuries never touch. Arizona actually codified the so-called Baseball Rule into law. A.R.S. § 12-554 says a stadium owner isn’t liable for injuries from baseballs, bats, or other equipment used during a baseball game. The exception: the owner…

  • Phoenix Sky Harbor Rental Car Center and Shuttle Accident Claims

    A Sky Harbor shuttle accident Phoenix claim looks straightforward until you ask who actually operated the vehicle. The automated PHX Sky Train that now serves the Rental Car Center replaced an entirely different transportation system in 2022. Before then, rental car companies ran their own shuttle buses between the terminals and the Rental Car Center.…

  • Papago Park and Desert Botanical Garden Visitor Injury Claims in Phoenix

    A Papago Park injury claim Phoenix visitors bring can turn on which side of a property line the accident happened. That’s because two very different liability standards sit right next to each other inside the same 1,500-acre park. Papago Park itself is free, city-and-state-owned open space. Meanwhile, the Desert Botanical Garden — a nonprofit attraction…

  • Sidewalk Trip and Fall Claims on Phoenix City Property: The Notice of Claim Trap

    A sidewalk trip and fall Phoenix claim looks like a government case at first glance, since the concrete sits in the public right-of-way. It usually isn’t. Phoenix City Code § 31-54 puts the duty to keep a sidewalk in repair on the owner of the abutting property, not the city. Section 31-55 makes that owner…

  • Pothole and Road Defect Injury Claims Against the City of Phoenix

    A pothole injury claim Phoenix drivers file against the city runs into a statute most people have never heard of until it’s too late. A.R.S. § 12-820.03 shields the city from liability for a road’s original design, as long as it met accepted engineering standards when built. That sounds like a broad shield. It usually…

  • Valley Metro Light Rail Accident Claims in Phoenix: Suing a Public Transit Agency

    Valley Metro isn’t a city department — it’s a separate public transportation authority created by an intergovernmental agreement among Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale, and several other Valley cities. That structure changes how a light rail accident Phoenix claim has to be filed. Because Valley Metro counts as a public entity under Arizona law, a rider,…

  • Canal Drowning Liability Phoenix: SRP Canals and Your Claim

    Canal drowning liability Phoenix families ask about usually comes up in the hardest circumstances. This guide keeps that in mind throughout. The Valley holds more than 131 miles of major canals and roughly a thousand miles of smaller laterals. SRP operates most of them. They move fast, their sides are steep and smooth, and they…

  • Tribal Casino Accident Claim Phoenix: Sovereign Immunity and Your Options

    A tribal casino accident claim Phoenix visitors file works nothing like a claim against a regular Valley business. The ground under a tribal casino isn’t subject to Arizona courts the way a strip-mall parking lot is. Talking Stick Resort, Desert Diamond, Casino Arizona, and Gila River’s properties all sit on tribal land. The tribes that…

  • Abogado de Resbalones y Caídas Phoenix: Lo Que Hay Que Probar

    Para ganar un reclamo, un abogado de resbalones y caídas en Phoenix tiene que probar tres cosas: que existía una condición peligrosa, que el dueño sabía o debía haber sabido de ella, y que esa condición causó sus lesiones. Caerse en la propiedad de alguien no es automáticamente un caso, y si usted fue parcialmente…

  • Abogado de Mordedura de Perro Phoenix: Responsabilidad Estricta en Arizona

    En muchos estados, un perro tiene una “primera mordida gratis” antes de que su dueño enfrente responsabilidad. Arizona no es uno de ellos. Un abogado de mordedura de perro Phoenix explica esta diferencia todos los días: la ley hace responsable al dueño desde la primera vez, sin importar qué tan tranquilo pareciera el perro antes.…
