Sexual abuse survivors who experienced harm within the Boy Scouts of America or a similar organization, please know that you are not alone. There are resources available to help you understand your rights and options for seeking support during this tough time.
You may be able to file a claim for the damages related to abuse involving the Boy Scouts of America, particularly if there is evidence of systemic efforts to conceal such abuse. The Boy Scouts of America has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to keep the organization operational and create a fund to compensate thousands of victims of child sexual abuse. In those proceedings, Judge Laurie Silverstein of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware imposed a deadline of 5 p.m. EST on November 16, 2020. Failing to file a claim within the applicable time limits may prevent you from pursuing compensation for the abuse you suffered.
Individuals who believe they may have a claim may consider reaching out to a lawyer. Call us today to schedule a consultation with a Los Angeles Boy Scouts abuse attorney.

If You Survived Abuse, This Is The Time To File
Millions of kids have participated in BSA meetings, jamborees, camps, and other activities. Parents had confidence that the BSA-sponsored events were safe and were providing their children with valuable life skills, such as teamwork, leadership, adaptability, and time management. Unfortunately, there have been instances where some BSA leaders misused their positions of authority, resulting in harm to young people.
Worst of all, records indicate that the Boy Scouts of America knew about the abuse that was occurring and did not take adequate measures to stop it. According to reports, the BSA kept files naming about 8,000 leaders who had been accused of child molestation going back to 1944.
Sexual Abuse Can Have Devastating And Lifelong Consequences
Childhood sexual abuse is one of those events that can completely alter the course of a person’s life. In many cases, people develop serious emotional and psychological issues that can affect them for decades. In many instances, there is no way to cure the damage caused by sexual abuse. The victims can only hope for learning coping mechanisms to deal with the trauma and psychological harm. Some of the more common health issues that sexual abuse victims experience include:
- Chronic pain
- Heart conditions
- Sexual dysfunction
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Sleep disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Insomnia
- Issues with relationships and intimacy
- Personality disorder
These are all compensable damages in the eyes of the law. Remember, you are not alone; Help is available to anyone who has suffered sexual abuse.

How Much Will A Boy Scout Abuse Lawyer Cost?
You may be concerned about how much it is going to cost to retain a lawyer to represent you against the Boy Scouts of America. At Arash Law, we take all of our cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that we will not collect attorney’s fees unless we obtain a settlement or a verdict for you. However, certain case-related costs may still apply even if the case does not resolve in your favor.
The Boy Scouts Of America Filed For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
As the evidence against the BSA piles up and more and more victims come forward, the organization is taking steps to address its financial liabilities to victims. Specifically, the organization has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Once the BSA is in bankruptcy, victims will not be able to file lawsuits against the organization.
By taking this step, the BSA is trying to shield itself from liability to victims of sexual abuse, potentially forcing victims to bring claims directly against BSA leaders. Unfortunately, individuals typically do not have the assets or insurance to cover the massive losses victims suffer. For this reason, if you choose to explore your legal rights, we are here to help guide you with care and understanding.
