LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) August 31, 2020

In response to the recent bankruptcy filing by the Boy Scouts of America and as a service to the public, TorkLaw, a national law firm that represents victims of childhood sexual abuse will provide free and confidential case evaluations for all victims of sexual abuse within the Boy Scouts. announces it is providing free case evaluations for the , at any time in the organization's history.

On February 18, 2020, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) filed for bankruptcy in Wilmington, Delaware. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, the court ordered the BSA to establish a victim's fund, to compensate BSA members who suffered sexual abuse as children.

The court has set November 16, 2020 as the deadline by which all lawsuits must be filed. This 'bar date' forever bars an individuals ability to make a future claim. As such, it is imperative that action is taken now. Victims who do not act in this window will forfeit any future claim agains the BSA.

With a short deadline in place, TorkLaw encourages all victims of Boy Scout sexual abuse, to consult with an experienced attorney in advance of the deadline, leaving adequate time to file suit.

California Assembly Bill 218, which went into affect on January 1, 2020, expanded the statute of limitations for the victims of childhood sexual abuse. This expansion provides many victims with a new opportunity to seek compensation for the wrongs that were done to them as children.

While it is recognized that filing for bankruptcy is a self-preservation move by the organization, the action will make transparent the organization's ability to adequately and fairly pay victims for the harm that came to them.

Reza Torkzadeh, TorkLaw's founding attorney says of the proceedings, "The bankruptcy provides us with clear parameters as to how we can most effectively help the victims of Boy Scout sexual abuse, and file civil claims in pursuit of justice for the wrong that was done to them."
