- An incident report — made to the business or property manager, with a copy or reference number.
- Medical records from day one — gaps in treatment become the insurer's argument.
- Witness names and numbers — collected before everyone scatters.
- What you were wearing — footwear matters in fall cases; keep it unaltered.
- A simple log — symptoms, missed work, and expenses as they happen.
How a participating law firm may review your situation
After you submit a free case review, your request is delivered to a participating Arizona law firm — participating firms are paid advertisers, and each firm independently determines whether it can assist you. The firm may contact you to learn more and explain how Arizona claims generally work. There is no cost to request a review, and submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Why quick action matters in Arizona
Arizona generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines apply to claims involving a public entity — a formal notice of claim is generally required within 180 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
