Hazing Lawyers Serving Hoonah-Angoon Census Area Families – Justice for Victims of Fraternity & Sorority Abuse

Hoonah-Angoon Census Area Families: You Are Not Alone

If your child has been the victim of hazing at a college or university near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, you may feel powerless, angry, or overwhelmed. The institutions responsible—fraternities, sororities, and even the universities themselves—often try to silence victims, downplay abuse, or shift blame. But you have rights, and you have powerful legal options—no matter where in Alaska or the U.S. the hazing occurred.

At Attorney 911, we are actively fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and hospitalized with kidney failure. The same fraternities and sororities operate at universities near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, and the same culture of abuse exists. We will bring the same fight to Hoonah-Angoon Census Area families.

The Hazing Crisis in Hoonah-Angoon Census Area & Beyond

Hazing is not just “boys being boys” or “tradition.” It is abuse, assault, and in many cases, torture. At universities near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, students have been subjected to:

Waterboarding & simulated drowning – The same fraternity that waterboarded our client in Houston has chapters near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area.
Forced alcohol consumption – Leading to alcohol poisoning, coma, or death.
Extreme physical punishment – 100+ pushups, 500+ squats, bear crawls, and “suicide” drills until collapse.
Sleep deprivation & exhaustion – Forced to drive fraternity members at all hours, leading to dangerous fatigue.
Psychological torture – Humiliation, degradation, threats of expulsion, and carrying sexual objects.
Being struck with wooden paddles – Causing bruises, broken bones, and permanent injuries.

Hazing Doesn’t Just Happen at “Big Name” Schools”

While high-profile cases often make national news, hazing occurs at universities of all sizes—including those near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. If your child attends or plans to attend a college in Alaska or the Pacific Northwest, they could be at risk.

Who Is Liable for Hazing in Hoonah-Angoon Census Area?

When hazing occurs, multiple parties can—and should—be held accountable. In our $10 million lawsuit, we are suing:

Defendant Why They’re Liable Hoonah-Angoon Census Area Application
Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter Directly organized and conducted hazing Same chapters exist near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area
National Fraternity/Sorority Organization Failed to supervise, knew about “hazing crisis” Same nationals (Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Chi, etc.) operate near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area
University/College Owned fraternity house, failed to prevent hazing Universities near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area have same oversight failures
Chapter Officers (President, Pledgemaster) Directed hazing activities Same roles exist in Hoonah-Angoon Census Area chapters
Individual Members Participated in hazing Every active member can be held personally liable
Alumni/Hosts Allowed hazing at their homes Alumni near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area may host hazing events
Insurance Companies Provide coverage for institutional liability Same insurance policies apply nationwide

🚨 The University’s Role: They Own the Torture Chambers

At the University of Houston, the fraternity house where our client was waterboarded was owned by the university. That means:
They collected rent while students were being tortured.
They had the power to inspect the property at any time.
They could have shut it down but chose not to.

Universities near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area do the same thing. They own or control fraternity and sorority houses, yet fail to monitor them—until it’s too late.

Precedent Cases: Hazing Victims Win Millions

Hazing cases do not settle for small amounts. Juries and courts award millions when institutions fail to protect students.

Case University Fraternity Injury/Death Outcome Why It Matters for Hoonah-Angoon Census Area
Bermudez v. Pi Kappa Phi (OUR CASE) University of Houston Pi Kappa Phi Rhabdomyolysis, kidney failure $10M lawsuit pending Same fraternity operates near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area
Stone Foltz Bowling Green State Pi Kappa Alpha Alcohol poisoning (death) $10.1M settlement Pike has chapters near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area
Maxwell Gruver Louisiana State Phi Delta Theta Alcohol poisoning (death) $6.1M jury verdict Led to Max Gruver Act (felony hazing)
Timothy Piazza Penn State Beta Theta Pi Traumatic brain injury (death) $110M+ settlement Largest hazing settlement in U.S. history
Andrew Coffey Florida State Pi Kappa Phi Alcohol poisoning (death) Confidential settlement Same fraternity as our case

These cases prove that hazing lawsuits win big. The same legal strategies apply to Hoonah-Angoon Census Area victims.

What Should Hoonah-Angoon Census Area Families Do If Their Child Is Hazed?

If your child has been hazed, time is critical. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and statutes of limitations expire.

✅ Step 1: Seek Medical Attention Immediately

  • Even if injuries seem minor, get a full medical evaluation.
  • Rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure can take days to appear.
  • Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression) requires documentation.

  • Save all texts, GroupMe chats, Snapchats, Instagram DMs about hazing.
  • Take photos/videos of injuries, hazing locations, and items used (paddles, hoses, etc.).
  • Get witness names and contact info—other pledges, bystanders.
  • Do NOT delete anything—even old posts can be evidence.

✅ Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity, Sorority, or University Alone

  • They will pressure your child to stay quiet.
  • They will twist their words to shift blame.
  • They will destroy evidence if they can.

Frequently Asked Questions for Hoonah-Angoon Census Area Families

1. My child was hazed at a university near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. Can you help even though you’re based in Texas?

Yes. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including in Alaska. We have:

  • Federal court authority (U.S. District Court admission)
  • Dual-state bar licenses (Texas and New York)
  • Willingness to travel to Hoonah-Angoon Census Area for depositions and trials
  • Remote consultation options for Hoonah-Angoon Census Area families

2. My child is afraid of retaliation if they speak out. How do you protect them?

We take retaliation concerns very seriously. In our current case, our client is fearful of retribution—so we:
Protect their identity in legal filings when possible.
Advise them on safety measures (changing living arrangements, etc.).
Pursue legal action against anyone who retaliates.
Work with law enforcement if threats occur.

3. The fraternity says my child “consented” to hazing. Is that a defense?

No. Under Alaska and Texas law, consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, they cannot consent to illegal abuse.

4. How much does it cost to hire a hazing lawyer?

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict, so you never pay out of pocket.

5. What if my child was hazed years ago? Is it too late to sue?

It might not be too late. While statutes of limitations vary, some exceptions apply:

  • Delayed discovery (if injuries weren’t immediately apparent)
  • Minor victims (the clock may not start until they turn 18)
  • Ongoing hazing (each incident may restart the clock)

Call us immediately—we’ll evaluate your case for free.

6. Can we sue the university even if they didn’t directly participate in hazing?

Yes. Universities can be held liable for:
Premises liability (if they own the fraternity house)
Negligent supervision (if they failed to monitor Greek life)
Institutional knowledge (if they knew hazing was happening and did nothing)

7. What if my child was hazed at a private college near Hoonah-Angoon Census Area?

Private colleges have the same legal obligations as public universities. We can sue them for the same reasons:

  • Negligent oversight
  • Failure to protect students
  • Premises liability (if they own/control the property)

8. My child was hazed but didn’t go to the hospital. Do we still have a case?

Possibly. Even without hospitalization, hazing victims may have claims for:
Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
Emotional distress (humiliation, fear)
Assault and battery (physical abuse)
Intentional infliction of emotional distress

Call us for a free evaluation.
