Common Causes

  • Electrical fires and faulty wiring — San Diego’s older rental housing stock, particularly in North Park, City Heights, and Logan Heights, frequently has outdated wiring and electrical panels that create fire and shock hazards
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning — aging furnaces and gas appliances in San Diego’s older rental units create CO exposure risks, particularly in attached garages and basement units
  • Toxic mold and water intrusion —  proximity to the coast and aging plumbing systems make mold growth common in San Diego apartments, especially in Mission Valley and beach-adjacent neighborhoods
  • Structural hazards and ceiling collapses — deferred maintenance in San Diego’s older multi-family housing stock leads to ceiling failures, rotted flooring, and staircase collapses
  • Negligent security injuries — assaults in parking structures, lobbies, and common areas of San Diego apartment complexes where landlords failed to maintain lighting, locks, or security cameras
  • Bed bugs and pest infestations — San Diego’s dense rental market and warm climate create conditions where pest infestations spread quickly when landlords fail to respond.
“Our goal is simple — to recover every dollar you deserve.”

Types of Cases

Types of Cases We Handle in San Diego

Faulty Electrical Equipment

Fire, Smoke & Electrical Hazards

San Diego's older apartment buildings — many built before 1960 — frequently have outdated wiring, faulty electrical panels, and inadequate smoke detection. When a landlord's negligence causes a fire, explosion, or electrical burn injury, you have the right to recover for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Building Collapse & Structural Failure Injury Lawyers

Structural Hazards & Building Collapse

Ceiling collapses, rotted staircases, broken railings, and crumbling balconies are common in San Diego's aging rental housing stock — particularly in the downtown and North Park is a Long Beach neighborhood. When a structural failure injures you, we hold the property owner accountable.‎

Negligent Security Injuries

Assaults, robberies, and sexual assaults in San Diego apartment complexes, parking structures, and common areas are often preventable when landlords maintain proper lighting, functioning locks, and working security cameras. If you were attacked on a property where security was inadequate, we can help.
