🛡️ What Yakutat City and Borough Families Should Do If Hazing Happens

If your child has been hazed in Yakutat City and Borough, time is critical. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and statutes of limitations expire. Here’s what you should do immediately:

🚨 Step 1: Get Medical Help (Even If Injuries Seem Minor)

  • Go to the emergency room if your child shows signs of injury (bruising, pain, vomiting, confusion, brown urine).
  • Document everything—medical records are crucial for your case.
  • Don’t delay treatment—insurance companies will argue that delayed care means the injuries weren’t serious.

📱 Step 2: Preserve Evidence (Before It Disappears)

  • Take photos/videos of injuries, hazing locations, and any physical evidence.
  • Save all communications (texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, emails, social media posts).
  • Get witness names and contact info—other victims may be afraid to speak up.
  • Do NOT delete anything—destroying evidence can hurt your case.

🚫 Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Organization or Their Lawyers

  • Fraternities, sororities, and schools will try to control the narrative.
  • They may offer a quick settlement—but it will be far less than you deserve.
  • Do NOT sign anything without consulting an attorney.

📞 Step 4: Call Attorney 911 Immediately (Before It’s Too Late)

  • Alaska has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims—don’t wait!
  • We offer free consultations—no risk, no upfront cost.
  • We work on contingency—you pay nothing unless we win your case.
  • We travel to Yakutat City and Borough—distance is not a barrier to justice.
