When you enter a store, hotel, or private residence, you have a right to expect your visit to be safe and free from injuries. California state law requires property and business owners to be responsible for the safety of visitors. Failure to uphold this responsibility can cause serious injury or even wrongful death. If you or a loved one have been injured due to a premises liability violations in San Diego, Vista, or elsewhere in the county, you may be able to bring a personal injury lawsuit against the property owner responsible.
Other Types of Premises Liability Cases
Slip and fall accidents, while common, are not the only types of premises liability injuries experienced by our San Diego and Vista-area clients. A personal injury lawsuit may also be necessary to recover compensation in the following situations:
- Inadequate security measures: Owners and managers of places such as apartment buildings and parking structures are responsible under premises liability laws to keep occupants and users reasonably protected from theft and other crimes. Security measures might include guards, security cameras, or simply sufficient lighting.
- Improperly installed store displays: In today's "big box" stores, more and more products are stored above shoppers' heads. Items placed haphazardly may fall and seriously injure or even kill store patrons.
- Roadway defects: Several car accidents and motorcycle accidents are caused each year due to poorly designed highways and faulty signage placement. This type of personal injury lawsuit requires the expertise of lawyers with detailed knowledge of both premises liability laws and San Diego roadways.
The above situations are only a few examples of premises liability. Our lawyers serve the Poway, Vista, and San Diego area, and can assist in your personal injury lawsuit regardless of the circumstances of your injury.
