Sainz ran over a metal water valve cover that had come loose and destroyed the chassis, power unit and energy store of his SF-23.
A precedent for compensation was set after an incident at the 2017 Malaysian GP, where Romain Grosjean's Haas was badly damaged after the Frenchman struck a loose drain cover.
The US-owned team subsequently negotiated a financial settlement with the Sepang organisers.
Asked if Ferrari would seek compensation for the Vegas incident, Vasseur said: "This will be a private discussion that I will have with the stakeholders of this."
In effect, that means Liberty Media and F1, as the race is promoted in-house rather than by a local entity.
Vasseur stressed the crash also had an impact on Ferrari's budget cap spending, as extra costs will be incurred by the need to fly an extra spare chassis from Italy to Abu Dhabi next weekend as the Maranello crew has started to prepare it straight after the accident.
"There is no provision into the budget or cost cap, for excluding the crashes," said Vasseur. "For sure you have a lot of extra costs. The loom was damaged, the gearbox was damaged, the battery was damaged, the engine is dead.
"We have a lot of consequences on the financial side, on the sporting side, and even on the stock of spare parts, and on the budget side for sure it's not an easy one."
Vasseur indicated that he would also raise the subject of damage from similar incidents beyond the team's control being placed outside the cap: "There will be discussion. The decision, it's another thing."
