Premises Liability Laws in Arizona.
Arizona premises-liability law applies a reasonable-care standard to landowners and occupiers, and classifies visitors as invitees, licensees, or trespassers. The 2-year personal-injury statute of limitations in A.R.S. § 12-542 applies to most premises claims, and Arizona’s pure comparative-fault system means a partially at-fault plaintiff can still recover a reduced award.
