How to Choose the Best Premises Liability Attorney for a Commercial Property Claim
Commercial properties in Arizona welcome thousands of people every day. From shopping malls and grocery stores to medical offices and apartment complexes, these spaces must be kept reasonably safe for visitors. When property owners fail to fix hazards or warn people about dangers, serious injuries can happen. If you were hurt on commercial property, choosing the right premises liability attorney can make the difference between a denied claim and full compensation.
At Perez Law Group, PLLC, we help injury victims across Arizona understand their rights and fight for fair results. Below is a simple guide to help you choose the best attorney for your commercial property claim.
Look for Experience in Commercial Property Cases
Premises liability can be complex because commercial property owners must follow specific safety rules. An attorney with real experience in commercial cases will know how to investigate the property, preserve evidence, identify all responsible parties, and deal with insurance companies that often push back hard.
Ask potential attorneys about:
- Past cases involving stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, or office buildings
- Their approach to investigating a hazard
- How often they litigate commercial injury claims
The more experience they have, the stronger your case will be.

Make Sure They Understand Arizona Liability Laws
Arizona follows a comparative negligence system, which means your compensation may be reduced if the insurance company proves you were partly at fault. A strong premises liability attorney understands how to counter these arguments and show the property owner’s responsibility.
Look for someone who is knowledgeable about:
- Unsafe conditions on commercial property
- Duty of care for customers, tenants, and visitors
- Evidence used to prove negligence
This legal strategy is key to protecting your claim.
Check Reviews and Client Testimonials
Client reviews can tell you a lot about how an attorney communicates, how helpful their staff is, and whether the firm fights hard for clients. Look for comments about professionalism, compassion, and clear communication.

Choose an Attorney Who Communicates Clearly
Your attorney should explain every step of your claim in plain language and answer your questions without rushing you. Clear communication helps you understand timelines, medical bills, evidence collection, and settlement expectations.
If the attorney listens carefully and makes you feel supported, that is a good sign they will handle your case with care.
Look for a Firm That Goes to Trial When Needed
Many commercial property claims settle, but not all. If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, you need an attorney who is prepared to take the case to court.
Ask:
- How often the firm litigates injury cases
- What happens if the insurer does not settle
- Whether they have trial experience with commercial injury claims
Trial ready attorneys often negotiate stronger settlements.
