Narrative:
Upon landing roll at pdk at approximately 50 KIAS, the nosewheel fail light illuminated and the airplane swerved hard to the right. I tried hard left bank but was unable to maintain directional control and departed the right side of the runway (runway 20L) taking out a runway light and a small sign, while damaging my right and possibly left propeller. There was nothing I could do to maintain directional control.
