🛡️ Hazing Justice for Boyd County Families

Aggressive Legal Representation for Hazing Victims in Boyd County, Kentucky

🚨 The Hazing Crisis is Closer Than You Think

Boyd County parents send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust universities to protect their students. They assume that when their child joins a fraternity or sorority, the national organization will enforce rules against abuse.

That trust is being betrayed.

Right now, in Boyd County and across Kentucky, hazing is happening at universities and colleges. Students are being subjected to dangerous, humiliating, and sometimes life-threatening initiation rituals—all in the name of “tradition” or “brotherhood.”

This isn’t tradition. It’s abuse. It’s assault. And it’s illegal.

At Attorney 911, we are currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was hospitalized with kidney failure from extreme physical abuse. We know how to build these cases. We know how to hold institutions accountable. And we will bring that same aggressive representation to Boyd County families.

If your child has been hazed at a Boyd County university, college, or Greek organization, you have legal rights. You can fight back. And you don’t have to do it alone.

🔥 What Hazing Really Looks Like in Boyd County

Hazing isn’t just a harmless prank. It’s a systematic form of abuse that can cause serious physical and psychological harm. In our current case, a student was subjected to:

✔ Waterboarding with a garden hose – Simulated drowning, a form of torture
✔ Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups – Until his muscles broke down and he couldn’t stand
✔ Struck with wooden paddles – Physical assault with weapons
✔ Forced to eat until vomiting – Then made to continue exercising through the vomit
✔ Sleep deprivation – Forced to drive fraternity members at all hours, leading to exhaustion
✔ Psychological humiliation – Carrying sexual objects, stripping in cold weather, being hog-tied

This isn’t just hazing. This is abuse. And it’s happening right here in Kentucky.

🏛️ Who Is Responsible for Hazing in Boyd County?

When hazing occurs, multiple parties can be held legally accountable:

1️⃣ The Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter

The chapter that directly organized and conducted the hazing activities.

2️⃣ The National Organization

National fraternities and sororities have millions in assets and insurance. They know about hazing risks—they just fail to enforce their own rules.

3️⃣ The University or College

Universities have a duty to protect students. If they knew or should have known about hazing and failed to stop it, they share liability.

4️⃣ Individual Members

Every person who participated in or facilitated hazing can be sued individually and may face criminal charges.

5️⃣ Housing Corporations & Alumni

If hazing occurred at a fraternity/sorority house or off-campus residence, the property owners can be held liable.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Boyd County Hazing Victim

If your child has been hazed, you may be entitled to compensation for:

💰 Medical Expenses – Hospital bills, therapy, future treatment
💰 Pain and Suffering – Physical and emotional trauma
💰 Lost Wages – Time missed from work or school
💰 Punitive Damages – To punish the organization for egregious conduct
💰 Wrongful Death – If hazing resulted in a fatality

Kentucky law prohibits hazing, and victims have the right to seek justice through civil lawsuits—even if criminal charges are not filed.
