Why Survivors Deserve Strong Legal Representation

Sexual assault is one of the most traumatic violations a person can experience. Survivors often face not only physical harm but also deep emotional and psychological wounds that can last a lifetime. When institutions such as nursing homes, hotels, casinos, or schools fail to protect people from assault, they must be held accountable.

At Cogburn Davidson Injury Lawyers, we know these cases are about far more than financial compensation. They are about justice, dignity, and protecting others from the same harm. With offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, our attorneys represent survivors across Nevada, preparing every case for trial when necessary to ensure accountability.

Where Sexual Assault Claims May Arise

Sexual assault cases are often tied to institutional negligence or failure to provide proper security. We represent survivors in cases involving:

  • Nursing home residents assaulted due to lack of supervision
  • Hotel, casino, or resort guests harmed by negligent security
  • Apartment or housing complexes that failed to protect tenants
  • Rideshare assaults (Uber, Lyft)
  • Workplace assaults allowed by negligent employers
  • Schools or daycare facilities ignoring warning signs or reports

In each case, our focus is on holding both the perpetrator and the responsible institution accountable.

Sexual Assault Cases Frequently Asked Questions

Can I file a civil lawsuit even if there are criminal charges?

Yes. A civil claim is separate from a criminal case and allows survivors to seek compensation and accountability regardless of the criminal outcome.

Who can be held responsible in a sexual assault case?

Perpetrators are always directly liable, but institutions such as nursing homes, casinos, or landlords may also be held accountable if their negligence allowed the assault to happen.

Do you represent survivors outside of Las Vegas?

Yes. With offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, we represent survivors across Nevada, including Reno, Mesquite, and rural communities.
