π‘οΈ Hazing Victims in Warren County: Your Legal Rights and How to Fight Back
Attorney 911: Fighting for Warren County Families Affected by Hazing
π¨ The Hazing Crisis Comes to Warren County
Warren County families send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust universities and Greek organizations to protect their students. But too often, that trust is betrayed.
Hazing is happening at universities near Warren County. The same fraternities that waterboarded a student at the University of Houston operate chapters near Warren County. The same “traditions” that hospitalized our client exist in Warren County Greek life. And the same negligence that allowed a student to suffer kidney failure from hazing exists at institutions near Warren County.
If your child has been hazed in Warren County, you are not alone. We are fighting this battle right now β and we will bring the same aggressive representation to Warren County families.
π What Hazing Really Looks Like
Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys.” It isn’t “building character.” It isn’t “tradition.”
Hazing is:
- Being waterboarded with a garden hose
- Being forced to do 500 squats until you can’t walk
- Being struck with wooden paddles
- Being forced to eat until you vomit, then forced to keep running
- Being hog-tied with an object in your mouth for over an hour
- Being stripped to your underwear in cold weather
- Being threatened with expulsion if you don’t comply
- Being hospitalized with kidney failure
- Being afraid to speak out because of retribution
This isn’t hypothetical. This is what happened to our client at the University of Houston. And this is what’s happening to students near Warren County.
βοΈ Your Legal Rights in Warren County
If your child has been hazed in Warren County, you have legal rights. Mississippi law and federal civil rights laws protect students from hazing. You can sue for:
1. Negligence
Universities and fraternities have a duty to protect students. When they fail, they are negligent.
2. Assault and Battery
Hazing often involves physical contact that is harmful or offensive. Each act of paddling, waterboarding, or forced exercise is a separate assault and battery.
3. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress
The psychological trauma from hazing can be severe. Being waterboarded, humiliated, or threatened can cause lasting emotional harm.
4. Premises Liability
If hazing occurred on university property or a fraternity house, the property owner can be held liable for failing to maintain safe conditions.
5. Civil Rights Violations
When institutions fail to protect students from hazing, they may violate federal civil rights laws.
π’ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Warren County?
When hazing occurs, multiple parties can be held accountable:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing |
| National Organization | Failed to supervise; knew about hazing culture |
| University/College | Failed to protect students; may own fraternity property |
| Individual Members | Participated in or facilitated hazing |
| Chapter Officers | Leadership responsibility; directed activities |
| Alumni | Hosted hazing at their homes |
| Insurance Companies | Coverage for institutional and individual liability |
In our current case, we are suing:
- The fraternity chapter
- The national organization
- The university
- Individual members
- Chapter officers
- Former members and their spouses
Warren County families deserve the same comprehensive accountability.
π° What Your Warren County Hazing Case Could Be Worth
Hazing cases result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. Recent cases show:
| Case | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Stone Foltz (BGSU/Pi Kappa Alpha) | $10.1 million |
| Maxwell Gruver (LSU/Phi Delta Theta) | $6.1 million jury verdict |
| Timothy Piazza (Penn State/Beta Theta Pi) | $110+ million (estimated) |
| Adam Oakes (VCU/Delta Chi) | $4+ million settlement |
Our current case is seeking $10 million for a student hospitalized with kidney failure from hazing. Warren County victims can pursue the same compensation.
Damages You Can Recover:
- Medical expenses (hospitalization, therapy, future treatment)
- Lost wages (time missed from work or internships)
- Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
- Punitive damages (to punish egregious conduct and prevent future hazing)
- Educational disruption (impact on college experience and future opportunities)
