In Nevada, sex crimes carry severe penalties including incarceration, fines, fees, and potential sex offender registration. Any criminal charge, whether felony or misdemeanor, with a sexual component is classified as a sex crime. However, criminal charges and convictions do not always lead to justice for survivors.

Even when criminal convictions are possible, they often do not provide the compensation necessary to help sexual abuse survivors recover from their emotional, physical, and financial injuries. This is where civil lawsuits, filed by our law firm, can make a significant difference.

SEXUAL ABUSE CASES

Sexual abuse is a grave crime, particularly when the victim is a child. A conviction for a sex crime leaves a permanent mark on a defendant's criminal record.

Sexual abuse claims, like other personal injury cases, can be resolved through settlement negotiations or litigation. In litigation, circumstantial evidence often plays a crucial role in building the victim's case. This can include witness statements, relevant communications such as texts or emails, and testimony from medical experts or other professionals. These elements collectively contribute to establishing the case and seeking justice for the victim of sexual abuse.

CHILD ABUSE REPORTING

Under both federal and Nevada state law, individuals have the right to work free from unlawful discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination. If any of these violations occur, employees have the right to seek compensation for lost income resulting from the discrimination.

Proving discrimination can be complex and challenging. Many discrimination cases require careful gathering and presentation of evidence. It's crucial to have an experienced attorney who understands how to navigate these complexities and advocate effectively on your behalf. This ensures that you not only seek financial relief but also achieve a sense of justice in addressing the discrimination you have faced.

UNDERSTANDING NEVADA CASE DEADLINES

Recent changes in Nevada's laws regarding civil sex abuse cases have expanded opportunities for justice. While criminal charges against perpetrators may still be subject to time limits in some instances, there is no longer a deadline for filing civil lawsuits seeking compensation and holding responsible parties accountable.

In 2021, Nevada lawmakers removed the statute of limitations that previously restricted child sex abuse victims from suing perpetrators or others involved in their abuse. This significant change allows survivors to pursue civil cases against those responsible for their injuries, regardless of how much time has passed since the abuse occurred.

In May 2023, Governor Joe Lombardo signed the Justice for Victims of Crime bill, also known as SB129, into law. This legislation further enhances access to justice by eliminating the civil statute of limitations for adult victims of sexual assault. As a result, attorneys can now pursue cases on behalf of adult survivors, regardless of when the abuse took place.

These legislative reforms aim to empower survivors of sexual abuse, providing them with greater legal avenues to seek accountability and compensation for the harm they have endured.
