What Counts as Invasion of Privacy in Nevada?

Nevada recognizes several types of invasion of privacy:

Intrusion on seclusion - Someone intentionally intrudes into your private affairs (e.g., hidden cameras, unauthorized surveillance).

Public disclosure of private facts - Sharing personal and sensitive information about you without consent.

False light - Publishing something misleading that paints you negatively or inaccurately.

Appropriation of likeness - Using your name, image, or identity for commercial gain without permission.

Each of these requires different evidence, but all center around a violation of your right to keep your life private.

Steps to File a Lawsuit

Document Everything - Collect any evidence, such as emails, messages, photos, videos, or witness statements that show your privacy was violated.

Consult an Attorney - Privacy laws can be tricky, and legal advice is essential. A Nevada-based personal injury or civil attorney can help determine if you have a strong case and guide you through the process.

File the Complaint - Your lawyer will file a formal complaint in civil court, laying out the facts and legal basis for your claim.

Prepare for Legal Proceedings - The defendant will respond, and the case may move to discovery, mediation, or trial depending on how it unfolds.
