Who Can Be Held Liable in a Sexual Assault Case?

While the attacker is always responsible for their actions, Nevada law may also hold third parties accountable when they enabled or failed to prevent the assault.

Depending on the circumstances, liable parties may include:

  • Property owners who failed to provide adequate security (apartment complexes, hotels, casinos)
  • Employers who ignored harassment or failed to screen employees properly
  • Schools, colleges, or universities that failed to protect students
  • Nursing homes or care facilities that ignored signs of abuse
  • Nightclubs, bars, or other establishments that failed to provide a safe environment

By pursuing claims against all responsible parties, we not only seek justice for you but also push for systemic changes that protect others in our community.

What Compensation Is Available for Sexual Assault Survivors?

Every survivor’s experience is unique. At Cogburn Davidson, we fight to recover the full value of your losses, including both economic and non-economic damages:

Economic Damages

  • Medical expenses (emergency care, surgeries, therapy, medications)
  • Counseling and psychological treatment costs
  • Lost income or diminished earning capacity
  • Relocation expenses if you needed to move for safety

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Damage to relationships and intimacy
  • Loss of dignity and sense of safety

In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the perpetrator or negligent institution and deter similar conduct in the future.
