Las Vegas Sexual Assault Lawyer
First and foremost, I hope you're doing alright.
Sexual assault is a deeply traumatic crime where one person imposes sexual acts on another without consent, causing significant emotional, psychological, and financial harm. At Medrala Law, we are committed to advocating for sexual assault survivors. Based on our strong track record, we passionately represent clients in civil sexual assault claims, striving to secure justice and compensation for those who have suffered.
In Nevada, like all states, the justice system comprises criminal and civil branches. Criminal courts determine whether a defendant committed a crime and, if so, the appropriate penalties. Conversely, civil courts aim to compensate accident and assault victims for the harm caused by others, whether through negligence or intent.
ABOUT CIVIL SEXUAL ASSAULT CLAIMS
Sexual assault victims have the option to file a civil claim alongside any criminal charges against their attackers. Even if a defendant is acquitted in a criminal trial, victims retain the right to pursue a civil claim for damages. The outcome of one case does not influence the other. Through a civil claim, victims can seek compensation for.
Medical bills during treatment for sexual
assault injuries: This encompasses emotional injuries and essential therapies. A lawsuit can lead to compensation covering all past and future medical expenses related to the sexual assault.
Lost wages: A lawsuit can compensate a victim for lost income due to missed work during recovery. It can also provide financial recovery for lost earning potential if the victim missed out on work opportunities because of the incident.
Pain and suffering. Nevada laws also permit sexual assault victims to seek recovery for their physical pain, emotional suffering, post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, mental anguish, and other non-economic damages.
Punitive damages. Sexual assault claims, like other civil cases involving violent crimes, often result in punitive damages for the plaintiff.
ENSURING YOUR SEXUAL ASSAULT CIVIL CLAIM
In a sexual assault claim, the victim must demonstrate that the defendant owed them a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused harm. Civil lawsuits for sexual assault often coincide with or follow criminal cases against the perpetrator. While a criminal conviction can support the victim's case by showing malicious intent, it does not automatically ensure compensation. The plaintiff still needs to prove all aspects of a personal injury claim to seek damages successfully.
The burden of proof in a civil lawsuit is less stringent than in a criminal lawsuit. Rather than proving guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt," the plaintiff must demonstrate that it is "more likely than not" that the defendant committed the assault. Seeking assistance from a Las Vegas sexual assault lawyer can relieve you of the burden of proving your civil claim.

WHAT IS MY CASE WORTH?
The value of your civil sexual assault claim depends on the extent of your injuries and damages, as well as the actions of the perpetrator. Strengthen your case and enhance your chances of obtaining compensation by promptly calling 911 to report the incident. Organize all information related to the assault into a comprehensive file. If the assault occurred at your workplace, inform your employer. Then, contact Medrala Law's sexual assault lawyers in Las Vegas for a confidential evaluation of your rights. The sooner you consult with our attorneys, the sooner we can begin advocating for your justice and recovery.
Nonetheless, specific factors play a role in determining the case's value.
Types and Severity of Injuries: The nature and severity of your injuries significantly impact the case's value. Catastrophic injuries or long-term disabilities typically result in higher compensation.
Ability to Work: Your ability to continue working after the accident affects the case value. Lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and inability to work due to injuries are considered in compensation calculations.
Financial Losses: Monetary losses incurred due to the accident, such as medical expenses, property damage, and rehabilitation costs, are factored into the compensation amount.
Emotional Impact: Emotional distress and trauma resulting from the accident are considered in determining compensation. Psychological effects, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), may increase the case's value.
Property Damage: The cost of repairing or replacing damaged property, including vehicles and personal belongings, is included in the compensation calculation.
