Client Testimonials
“If you need a good attorney who is not only gonna fight for you but also has an heart, then you definitely need Anthony in your corner. Anthony Liberatore and every single person in his office, treat you as a human being not just a number.
I had the bad fortune of having two accidents within 12 years of each other. Both, I got injured pretty badly.
Both times Anthony fought for me and was able to negotiate with the Car Insurances to get a decent settlement for the harm that was caused to me.
I hope I never get injured again, but if I ever do, Anthony will be the first person I call.”

What Is the Difference Between a Civil and Criminal Sexual Assault Case?
Sexual assault is a crime under California Penal Code 243.4. This law states that any person who 1) touches an intimate part of another person, 2) while the victim is unlawfully restrained, 3) if the touching is against the victim’s will, and 4) for the purpose of sexual arousal, gratification or abuse is guilty of sexual assault. If someone is found guilty of this crime, he or she could face a misdemeanor or felony charge and penalties such as fines and jail time.
Sexual assault is also considered a tort, or wrongful act, in the civil justice system. The civil courts allow a victim to file a claim to seek financial compensation from one or more parties for sexual assault. The purpose of a civil action is to make the victim whole again, rather than solely to punish a defendant.
Compensation Available for Sexual Assault Survivors in Los Angeles
A successful civil claim for sexual assault could result in financial compensation being awarded to the survivor to help pay for related losses. Holding one or more parties liable, or legally accountable, could result in a settlement or jury verdict that enables you to move forward with less financial stress.
Available compensation may include:
- Medical or hospital bills
- Therapy and counseling costs
- Prescription medications
- Travel or relocation costs
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress or psychological harm
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Punitive damages, in some cases
At The Liberatore Law Firm, we know that pursuing a claim for sexual assault is about much more than a financial recovery. We are here not only to relentlessly seek maximum financial compensation but to help you hold one or more parties accountable for the life-changing harm you have suffered.
Who Can Be Held Liable for Sexual Assault in Los Angeles?
Many sexual assault survivors do not realize they have been wronged by more than just the assailant. An institution, company or entity is often also to blame for failing to protect the victim(s). This can mean failing to conduct background checks on employees, ignoring sexual assault complaints or covering up known incidents of sexual misconduct.
Examples of institutions that may be held liable are:
- Boys and Girls Clubs of America
- Business entities
- Churches
- Daycare centers
- Foster care centers
- Health care facilities
- Juvenile probation camps
- Licensed professionals
- Massage spas
- Nursing homes
- Rideshare companies
- Schools, colleges and universities
- Sports organizations
- The government
- Workplaces
Whether you or a loved one was sexually assaulted at work, school or on someone else’s property due to negligent security, you may be entitled to financial compensation from the abuser as well as an institution. Consult with an attorney for more information about your legal options.
