Sexual Assault Lawyers in Enterprise NV

If an individual tried to engage in a sexual act with you without your consent—regardless of whether they succeeded in their efforts—you are a survivor of sexual assault.

To be successful, you will need to show that because a property owner or manager did not maintain the premises, you were assaulted. An Enterprise sexual assault lawyer at High Stakes Injury Law can take your case and protect your rights.

You can trust our team to fight for the compensation you deserve. Let us put our experience to work for you. Call High Stakes Injury Law today for a free consultation at (702) 707-5934.

Recoverable Damages in Your Enterprise Sexual Assault Case

With a civil claim, you can seek compensation for the damages that resulted from the sexual assault you experienced. Some types of damages you might recover include:

• Medical expenses (past and future): From doctors’ bills to surgeries, psychological therapy, and prescription medications
• Lost income (past and future): For the days you might have missed at work and any diminished future potential income resulting from the sexual assault
• Pain and suffering (past and future): Including compensation for not only your physical pain but also your emotional suffering, anxiety, depression, and mental anguish

The lawyer you hire to represent your claim will calculate your damages by reviewing your medical bills, property damage receipts, and employment records. They can also consult with experts in the fields of medicine, occupational therapy, economics, and psychology to determine the cost of your non-economic damages.

How an Enterprise Sexual Assault Lawyer Can Prove Your Claim

In your case, you are alleging that a property owner’s negligence gave rise to your sexual assault.  To secure financial recovery for your damages, your lawyer must prove the following elements:

• Duty of care: A property owner or manager had a duty of care to act in a way that would keep you free from harm or injury.
• Breach of duty of care: The property owner or manager failed to fulfill this duty of care.
• Causation: Because of negligent security practices, you were assaulted.
• Damages: You suffered financial losses as a result of being sexually assaulted.

An Enterprise sexual assault lawyer at High Stakes Injury Law will investigate your sexual assault, gather evidence to support each of these elements, and build a case. Your claim will demonstrate the property owner’s liability, the extent of your suffering, and your right to receive compensation. Call us at (702) 707-5934 to learn more.

Nevada’s Statute of Limitations for Sexual Assault Cases

Nevada sets time restrictions for filing a personal injury lawsuit in civil court. This timeframe, called the statute of limitations, begins on the date of the plaintiff’s injury. However, in some sexual assault cases, this may begin from the date that the survivor discovered that they had been sexually assaulted.

Per NRS §11.190(4)(e), claimants typically have a two-year window in which to file their personal injury lawsuits. Our team acknowledges that some aspects of your case (like if you were assaulted as a minor) could extend this timeframe. An Enterprise sexual assault lawyer can determine whether any elements of your situation could give you more time to act.

However, when considering your legal options, our law firm encourages you to take action sooner rather than later. Call High Stakes Injury Law today for a free consultation.
