Hazing Victims in Clear Creek County: Your Rights, Your Recovery

🚨 Clear Creek County Families: Hazing Doesn’t Stop at the State Line

At Attorney 911, we’re currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—a case that has made national headlines for its severity. But we know this isn’t just a Houston problem. Hazing happens in Clear Creek County too.

If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or student organization near Clear Creek County, you have legal rights. And we’re here to fight for you—no matter where in Colorado you are.

🔍 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Clear Creek County

The Case That’s Shaking Greek Life Nationwide

In November 2025, we filed a $10 million lawsuit on behalf of Leonel Bermudez, a young man who was hospitalized with kidney failure after being subjected to extreme hazing at the University of Houston’s Pi Kappa Phi fraternity.

What they did to him:
✔ Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
✔ Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he collapsed
✔ Struck with wooden paddles
✔ Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to keep running
✔ Hog-tied another pledge for over an hour (another victim)
✔ Made to carry sexual objects in a fanny pack at all times
✔ Sleep-deprived and exhausted from driving members at all hours

The result?

• Three nights in the hospital with severe rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and acute kidney failure
• Lifelong health risks from permanent kidney damage
• Psychological trauma—our client is too afraid to speak publicly due to fear of retaliation

The worst part?
This wasn’t the first time. Pi Kappa Phi had a hazing death in 2017 (Andrew Coffey at Florida State). The University of Houston had another hazing hospitalization in 2017. They knew the risks—and did nothing to stop it.

Now, we’re holding them accountable. And we’ll do the same for Clear Creek County families.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Clear Creek County Hazing Victim

1. You Can Sue—Even If You “Consented”

Colorado law is clear: Consent is NOT a defense to hazing.

• C.R.S. § 18-9-124 makes hazing a crime in Colorado.
• Colleges and fraternities cannot hide behind “tradition” or “consent.”
• If your child was pressured, threatened, or coerced into participating, they did not truly consent.

2. Who Can Be Held Liable?

We sue everyone responsible, including:
✔ The local fraternity/sorority chapter (individual members and leaders)
✔ The national organization (they set the culture)
✔ The university or college (they failed to protect students)
✔ Alumni or advisors (if they enabled hazing)
✔ Property owners (if hazing happened at a private residence)

In our Houston case, we’re suing:

• Pi Kappa Phi National
• The UH chapter
• The University of Houston (they owned the fraternity house!)
• Individual fraternity members
• A former member and his spouse (hazing happened at their home)

3. What Damages Can You Recover?

Hazing victims in Clear Creek County may be entitled to compensation for:
💰 Medical bills (past and future)
💰 Lost wages (if the victim missed work or school)
💰 Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
💰 Permanent injuries (kidney damage, PTSD, long-term health issues)
💰 Punitive damages (to punish the organization for gross negligence)

In our Houston case, we’re seeking $10 million—and we’ve won similar amounts in other hazing cases.
