When Someone Violates Your Safety and Trust

Sexual assault is a profound violation that can leave survivors dealing with fear, shame, anger, and long-term trauma. Many people are unsure where to turn, especially when the assault involved someone they knew, occurred in a workplace or public setting, or happened on another person’s property.

Battle Born Injury Lawyers represents survivors of sexual assault across Nevada in civil cases, not criminal prosecutions. Our role is to help survivors understand their options, protect their privacy, and pursue accountability against individuals or institutions that allowed harm to occur.

What Is a Sexual Assault Civil Claim?

A sexual assault civil claim is a legal action that allows survivors to seek compensation for harm caused by sexual violence. These claims are separate from criminal cases and do not require a criminal conviction to move forward.

Civil claims may be brought against the perpetrator and, in some cases, against third parties such as property owners, employers, schools, rideshare companies, or institutions that failed to provide reasonable protection. When mishandled or delayed, survivors may lose important legal rights. Legal guidance helps ensure claims are handled carefully and on the survivor’s terms.

Does My Situation Require a Sexual Assault Lawyer?

You may benefit from speaking with an attorney if you have experienced sexual assault or abuse and want to understand your civil legal options. Many survivors hesitate because they are unsure whether what happened “counts” or worry they waited too long.

Legal guidance may be appropriate even if no police report was filed, the assault happened years ago, or the perpetrator was not arrested. Seeking information does not obligate you to take action; it simply helps you understand your rights and options.

Do I have to confront the person who assaulted me?

No. Many cases are handled without direct interaction, and survivor safety is prioritized.

Can businesses or institutions be held responsible?

Yes. Property owners, employers, schools, or companies may be liable if they failed to provide reasonable protection.

Will my identity be public if I file a civil claim?

Courts may allow protective measures, and attorneys can take steps to safeguard privacy.
