Penn Law has been at the forefront of the sexual abuse cases against the Boy Scouts of America. Attorney Darren Penn represents Boy Scouts alleging childhood sexual abuse and other injuries that occurred in Georgia. In February, the Boy Scouts of America filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, limiting the time for victims in Georgia, and around the country, who claim sexual abuse by adults in Scouting can file to receive compensation. While the time to file is limited, the trauma and injuries caused by these unspeakable acts are long-lasting.

We have an understanding of the immense strength and courage it takes to acknowledge the devastating harm caused by sexual abuse. Our team also knows the emotional and psychological obstacles faced by those who seek to hold their abusers, and the businesses and institutions where they work or volunteer, accountable in a court of law.

Filing a lawsuit will not take away the memories of abuse or the years of pain endured, but it is the best way to help that victim receive some measure of justice. Vigorous advocacy for survivors of sexual abuse can also help prevent others from becoming victims. The injuries and damages in these cases are far-reaching and continue for the rest of a victim’s life. The attorneys at Penn Law recognize this fact and fight to get compensation for their clients for these devastating, and often lifelong, damages.
