It is estimated that several thousand serious slip and fall injuries are caused each year by the negligent actions of property owners.

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.

If you have recently been injured due to negligent maintenance or other common infractions of premises liability laws, it is essential that you retain an attorney from our San Diego firm as soon as possible. California's statute of limitations is very restrictive in this type of case, so you may have a limited time to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party. In addition to state-enforced time limits, evidence of faulty maintenance must be documented as soon as possible after the injury occurs. Any delay could reduce the chances of your premises liability case's success. To schedule a free consultation with one of our attorneys, contact the law firm of Phillips & Pelly today.
