If you have been the victim of a shooting in Nevada, you are not alone. The aftermath of such an event can be overwhelming, with physical injuries, emotional distress, and financial burdens that last long after the incident. While criminal charges may be filed against the shooter, victims often require additional compensation for medical costs, lost wages, pain, and suffering. At Haggard Crime Victim Attorney, we are dedicated to helping shooting victims in Nevada pursue justice through civil lawsuits, seeking the compensation they deserve.
Can I Sue for Being Shot in Nevada?
Yes, in Nevada, you have the right to pursue a civil lawsuit if you have been shot or injured as a result of criminal activity. While the criminal justice system focuses on holding the perpetrator accountable, a personal injury lawsuit can help victims recover damages that the criminal case does not address. This includes compensation for medical bills, emotional distress, lost wages, and more.In some cases, if the shooting occurred due to the negligence of a property owner, such as inadequate security measures or unsafe conditions, you may also have grounds for a premises liability claim. For example, if the shooting took place in a nightclub with insufficient security or a poorly lit parking lot, the property owner may be held liable for their failure to provide a safe environment.
