Hazing Lawyers in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana | Attorney 911**

Natchitoches Parish Families: You Are Not Alone

If your child has been the victim of hazing at Northwestern State University, a local fraternity or sorority, or any other student organization in Natchitoches Parish, you have legal rights—and you deserve justice. Hazing is not “tradition.” It is not “brotherhood.” It is abuse, and it can cause lifelong physical and psychological harm.

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 rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure from extreme physical abuse. This same fraternity operates chapters across the country, including near Natchitoches Parish. The same negligence exists at universities here.

We serve Natchitoches Parish hazing victims nationwide, and we will bring the same aggressive legal strategy to your case.

🚨 What Counts as Hazing in Louisiana?

Louisiana law defines hazing as any activity that:
✔ Endangers physical or mental health (extreme exercise, forced consumption, sleep deprivation)
✔ Involves humiliation or degradation (forced nudity, carrying embarrassing objects, verbal abuse)
✔ Is required for membership or affiliation in a student organization
✔ Is done without the victim’s true consent (peer pressure, threats, coercion)

Examples of hazing we’ve seen in Louisiana and across the country:

• Forced alcohol consumption leading to alcohol poisoning
• Extreme physical punishment (500+ squats, bear crawls, paddling)
• Waterboarding or simulated drowning (as seen in our UH case)
• Sleep deprivation and exhaustion
• Sexual humiliation or assault
• Being struck with objects (paddles, belts, etc.)
• Being confined in small spaces or exposed to extreme weather

Louisiana has some of the strongest anti-hazing laws in the country. Under the Max Gruver Act (Act 635), hazing that results in serious injury or death is a felony. But even if criminal charges aren’t filed, you can still sue for civil damages—including medical bills, pain and suffering, and punitive damages.

💔 What Hazing Does to Victims in Natchitoches Parish

Hazing doesn’t just cause temporary pain—it can ruin lives. Victims often suffer:

Physical Injuries

• Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown that leads to kidney failure)
• Alcohol poisoning (can be fatal)
• Traumatic brain injuries (from beatings or falls)
• Broken bones, burns, or internal bleeding
• Hypothermia or heatstroke (from forced exposure)
• Infections or permanent scarring

Psychological Trauma

• PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
• Anxiety and depression
• Trust issues and social withdrawal
• Academic decline or dropping out
• Suicidal thoughts or self-harm

Financial Consequences

• Medical bills (ER visits, hospital stays, therapy)
• Lost wages (if unable to work due to injuries)
• Tuition and academic losses (if forced to withdraw from school)

You don’t have to suffer in silence. If your child was hazed in Natchitoches Parish, we can help you seek justice and compensation.

🏛️ Who Can Be Held Liable in a Natchitoches Parish Hazing Case?

Hazing cases are not just against the individuals who did it—they’re against everyone who allowed it to happen. In our current case, we’re suing:

✅ The local fraternity/sorority chapter (directly responsible for hazing)
✅ The national organization (failed to supervise and enforce anti-hazing policies)
✅ The university (failed to protect students, especially if they own the fraternity house)
✅ Individual members (those who participated or failed to stop it)
✅ Alumni or property owners (if hazing occurred at their home)

Northwestern State University (NSU) and other Natchitoches Parish schools have a legal duty to protect students. If they knew or should have known about hazing and failed to stop it, they can be held accountable.

💰 What Compensation Can Natchitoches Parish Hazing Victims Recover?

Hazing cases can result in multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts. Our firm has seen cases where victims recovered compensation for:

In our current case, we’re seeking $10 million—and we have strong legal precedent to support this demand.
