Why You Need an Attorney Who Understands Both Law and Medicine

Sexual assault can cause serious physical and emotional harm, including traumatic brain injuries, post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, and long‑term neurological issues. As the only licensed neurologist–personal injury attorney in Nevada, our lead lawyer brings medical insight and legal skill to your case. This dual background helps in:

  • Earning credibility with medical experts and courts
  • Identifying delayed or hidden neurological injuries
  • Accurately valuing future care needs
  • Negotiating from a position of authority

This can make a real difference in both settlement negotiations and trial outcomes.

Common Causes of Sexual Assault During Airbnb Stays

Even though Airbnb requires certain safety standards, the platform does not control every hosting situation. Assaults can occur because of:

  1. Inadequate host screening or background checks
  2. Neglected or off‑site property access (e.g., unmonitored gates or garages)
  3. Lack of proper lighting or security systems
  4. Hosts living on-site not separated from guests

If a host, Airbnb employee, or third party fails to protect guests, you could have grounds for legal action.

What Legal Theories Apply to Airbnb Sexual Assault Cases?

Multiple areas of law can hold Airbnb and responsible parties accountable:

  • Premises liability — when unsafe conditions at the rental site contribute to harm.
  • Negligent security — if inadequate measures allowed the assault.
  • Vicarious liability — when the host’s actions are attributable to Airbnb.
  • Negligent hiring or vetting — for failing to screen hosts or employees.

Each of these theories may apply depending on how the incident occurred and who was involved.

Proving Your Claim in Las Vegas

To succeed in a lawsuit in Nevada, your legal team must prove four elements:

  1. Duty — that the host or Airbnb had a legal responsibility to provide a safe rental.
  2. Breach — that they failed by not doing necessary safety checks or warnings.
  3. Cause — a direct link between their failure and the assault.
  4. Damages — you suffered measurable harm, physically, emotionally, or financially.

Our thorough approach includes:

  • Collecting medical and therapy records
  • Hiring independent neurologists, psychologists, and forensic experts
  • Reviewing Airbnb communications, host background, access logs, and security footage
  • Interviewing witnesses, like neighbors or arriving guests

Types of Compensation You Could Recover

If your case succeeds, you may recover:

  • Medical bills — from emergency treatment, imaging, hospital stays, rehab, and future care
  • Lost wages — for missed work and loss of livelihood
  • Pain and suffering — mental anguish, PTSD, loss of enjoyment
  • Punitive damages — meant to punish gross negligence by host or Airbnb
  • Security costs — such as installing cameras or alarm systems after the incident

Because of our firm’s neurological expertise, we can show long‑term consequences that others might miss, increasing the value of your case.

What If I Can’t Afford a Lawyer?

We work on contingency, meaning you pay us a percentage only if we recover money. There are no upfront fees. We cover all accident‑related costs until your case is resolved.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

In Nevada, the general statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including sexual assault, is two years from the date of the incident pursuant to NRS 11.190. But evidence disappears quickly, so contacting an attorney right away is critical.

Can I Sue Airbnb Directly?

Yes, when the company exerts control—like vetting hosts, setting rules, monitoring listings—it may be vicariously liable. Courts have ruled on this in cases like Airbnb’s obligations for user safety. Our attorneys track every Airbnb policy update and relevant case law.

What If the Assault Happened in a Shared or Off‑site Space?

Assaults in places like shared kitchens, driveways, or off‑site areas may still create premises liability. We secure video evidence, review policing logs, and document safety flaws in communal spaces.

How Do You Prove Emotional Trauma?

We work with licensed therapists and psychologists to diagnose PTSD, anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma. Your testimony, therapy notes, and daily function reports become part of a strong record supporting compensation.

Will This Go to Trial?

Many severe cases settle. But if needed, we’re fully prepared to go to trial. Our neurologist–attorney’s medical credentials can strengthen expert testimony and jury impact.

Do I Need to Talk to Airbnb?

No. We handle all communications. Any outreach to Airbnb, the host, or insurers goes through us to protect your privacy and legal rights.

FAQ

Can I get compensation if the assault happened in a shared Airbnb area?

Yes. If the assault occurred in communal spaces like a kitchen or driveway under a host’s control, you can pursue a premises liability or negligent security claim in Nevada.

How do I prove Airbnb was negligent?

We investigate host screening, Airbnb policies, inspection records, and platform oversight. Vicarious liability can hold Airbnb accountable if they failed to meet legal duties.

What damages are available?

Compensation may cover all medical costs, lost wages, emotional trauma, long‑term care, and possibly punitive damages for gross negligence.

What should I do right after the assault?

  • Get medical help
  • Call police
  • Preserve evidence—texts, photos, Airbnb messages
  • Contact Janda Law Firm for your free case review

How much does it cost to hire you?

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency so you only pay if we recover compensation. Our firm covers all expenses until results are achieved.

How long will my case take?

It varies based on medical treatment, investigations, and negotiations. Many cases settle within 12 to 18 months. We give realistic timelines after reviewing your case.

Can I still recover if I partially caused my own harm?

Nevada follows comparative fault rules. You can still recover even if partially at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

What if the host disappeared after the incident?

We can subpoena Airbnb for host identity, security footage, messages, and booking history to pursue both host and Airbnb in court.
