Have you been a victim of sexual assault?
Many victims of rape or sexual assault are left feeling that the justice system failed them. All too often, victims do not even realize that there is more than just a criminal prosecution. They can also pursue a case in civil court for monetary damages. When a rape or sexual assault occurs in a mall, parking lot, apartment building, shopping center, dorm, or other commercial area, a victim can file a premises liability claim against the owner of the property or the property management company. Owners of property under Nevada law have a responsibility to protect people from known risks, or risks that can be foreseen.
A premises liability claim can be made against property owners, managers or landlords when they fail to meet this duty. As a part of the same case, claims can also be made against security companies who have failed to provide adequate security in the area where the crime occurred.
The following are the types of properties that impose a duty on the owner to protect people against sexual assault or other injuries:
- Hotels and Motels
- Parking lots
- Malls
- Apartment buildings
- Bars
- Hospitals
- School campuses
- Gas Stations
- Dorm rooms
- Convenience stores
- Shopping centers
- Other properties
