The Boy Scouts of America has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to limit their liability in relation to 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. If you do not file a claim by that time, you may be unable to ever file a claim against the organization to obtain compensation for the abuse you suffered.

If You Suffered Abuse, Now is the Time to File
Millions of kids have participated in BSA meetings, jamborees, camps, and other activities. Parents trusted that BSA-sponsored events were safe and were providing their children with life skills such as working with a team, leadership, adaptability, and time management. The sad reality is that many BSA leaders were using their position of authority and access to sexually abuse thousands of young people.
Worst of all, records indicate that 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 best victims can hope for is learning coping mechanisms to deal with the trauma and psychological damage. Some of the more common health issues that sexual abuse victims experience include:
- Chronic pain
- Heart conditions
- Sexual dysfunction
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Depression

- Sleep disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

These are all compensable damages under the eyes of the law, and anyone who suffered sexual abuse at the hands of the BSA should speak to an attorney as soon as possible.

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 anything unless we win your case. If you do not obtain compensation from the Boy Scouts, we do not get paid.
The Boy Scouts Have Billions of Dollars and Are Filing Bankruptcy to Avoid Paying Victims
As the evidence against the BSA piles up and more and more victims come forward, the organization is taking steps to avoid justice. Specifically, the organization – which has assets of more than $1 billion – 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 have a claim, it’s critical to come forward now.
