§ 207.470. Civil actions for damages resulting from racketeering
1. Any person who is injured in his or her business or property by reason of any violation
of NRS 207.400 has a cause of action against a person causing such injury for three times the actual
damages sustained. An injured person may also recover attorney's fees in the trial and appellate courts
and costs of investigation and litigation reasonably incurred. The defendant or any injured person in the action may demand a trial by jury in any
civil action brought pursuant to this section. Any injured person has a claim to forfeited property or the proceeds derived therefrom
and this claim is superior to any claim the State may have to the same property or
proceeds if the injured person's claim is asserted before a final decree is issued
which grants forfeiture of the property or proceeds to the State. 2. A final judgment or decree rendered in favor of the State in any criminal proceeding
under NRS 205.322 or 207.400 estops the defendant in any subsequent civil action or proceeding from denying the
essential allegations of the criminal offense. 3. Any civil action or proceeding under this section must be instituted in the district
court of the State in the county in which the prospective defendant resides or has
committed any act which subjects him or her to criminal or civil liability under this
section or NRS 205.322 , 207.400 or 207.460 . 4. Any civil remedy provided pursuant to this section is not exclusive of any other
available remedy or penalty.
