Who Can Be Held Liable in a Sexual Assault Civil Claim?

While the criminal justice system punishes offenders, civil lawsuits focus on financial accountability and justice for survivors.

You may be able to file a claim not only against your attacker, but also against third parties who failed to protect you. Common examples include:

  • Hotels, casinos, or resorts that failed to provide adequate security
  • Property owners who neglected lighting, locks, or surveillance
  • Employers or co-workers who ignored reports of harassment or assault
  • Schools, universities, or childcare facilities that failed to act on prior complaints
  • Rideshare companies (Lyft, Uber) that negligently hired dangerous drivers
  • Bars, clubs, or venues that overserved or failed to control violent patrons

By filing a civil lawsuit, survivors can pursue compensation for the harm they suffered, and send a powerful message that negligence and silence will not be tolerated in Nevada.

What Compensation Is Available in a Las Vegas Sexual Assault Lawsuit?

No amount of money can undo the harm of sexual assault. But financial compensation can help survivors access the care, safety, and stability they need to rebuild. Our sexual assault attorneys in Las Vegas will pursue every form of compensation available under Nevada law, including:

Economic Damages

  • Medical expenses (emergency care, therapy, medication, etc.)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Relocation costs or home security measures
  • Counseling, trauma treatment, and ongoing mental health care

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Anxiety, depression, and PTSD
  • Loss of intimacy or companionship

Punitive Damages

When the defendant’s actions were especially egregious or malicious, Nevada courts may award punitive damages meant to punish the offender and deter others from similar conduct.

At Cogburn Davidson, we will not stop until we’ve fought for the full measure of justice you deserve.

Sexual Assault and Negligent Security in Las Vegas

Sadly, many sexual assaults in Las Vegas happen because a property owner or business failed to provide adequate security. This is especially common in:

  • Hotels and casinos
  • Parking garages or stairwells
  • Apartment complexes
  • Nightclubs and bars
  • Rideshares and transportation hubs

If an assault occurred because a business failed to take reasonable precautions, such as hiring trained security, maintaining proper lighting, or responding to prior incidents, that business can be held liable for negligent security. Our sexual harassment lawyers in Las Vegas have extensive experience with these cases and can help you hold both the perpetrator and the negligent property owner accountable.

How Long Do I Have to File a Sexual Assault Lawsuit in Nevada?

Nevada law gives survivors of sexual assault extended time to pursue justice in civil court. However, statutes of limitation vary depending on the nature of your case and when the assault occurred. It’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as you feel ready. Speaking with an attorney early helps preserve evidence and gives your case the strongest possible foundation. We will file your claim discreetly and on time, ensuring your rights are fully protected.
