Hazing Lawyers Serving Holt County, Missouri – Attorney 911

Justice for Hazing Victims in Northwest Missouri

If your child was hazed at a college, university, or Greek organization near Holt County, Missouri, you are not alone. Attorney 911 is currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—proving that fraternities, sororities, and universities can and should be held accountable for the abuse they allow. Holt County families deserve the same aggressive representation.

🚨 Hazing Is Not “Tradition”—It’s Abuse

Hazing is not harmless fun. It’s not “building brotherhood.” It’s assault, battery, and sometimes torture. In our current case, a student was:

• Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced to do 500 squats until he couldn’t stand
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Forced to eat until he vomited, then made to keep running
• Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure

This happened at University of Houston—but the same fraternities operate at colleges near Holt County, Missouri. The same negligence exists at Missouri institutions. If your child was hazed in or near Holt County, we will fight for you with the same determination.

🏛️ Colleges & Universities Near Holt County Where Hazing Occurs

Holt County is home to Northwest Missouri State University (Maryville), and nearby institutions with Greek life include:

• Northwest Missouri State University (Maryville, MO) – Active Greek system with fraternities and sororities
• Missouri Western State University (St. Joseph, MO) – Strong Greek presence
• University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) – Multiple fraternity and sorority chapters
• University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) – One of the largest Greek systems in the country

The same national fraternities involved in our $10M lawsuit—Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and others—have active chapters at these schools. If your child was hazed in Northwest Missouri, we can help.

💔 What Counts as Hazing?

Hazing isn’t just “roughhousing.” Under Missouri law (RSMo § 578.360), hazing includes any activity that:
✅ Endangers mental or physical health (e.g., forced alcohol consumption, extreme exercise)
✅ Humiliates or degrades (e.g., carrying sexual objects, stripping in public)
✅ Involves sleep deprivation or servitude (e.g., forced errands, late-night activities)
✅ Causes physical injury (e.g., paddling, branding, forced calisthenics)
✅ Results in psychological trauma (e.g., PTSD, anxiety, depression)

If your child experienced any of these, they were hazed—and they have legal rights.

🏥 Common Hazing Injuries We Handle

Hazing can cause serious, life-altering injuries, including:
🔴 Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown leading to kidney failure) – Like our UH client
🔴 Alcohol poisoning (forced drinking until unconscious)
🔴 Traumatic brain injuries (from beatings, falls, or head trauma)
🔴 Broken bones & internal injuries (from paddling, physical abuse)
🔴 Heat stroke / hypothermia (from extreme outdoor activities)
🔴 PTSD, anxiety, and depression (long-term psychological damage)

If your child was hospitalized or suffered lasting harm from hazing in Holt County or nearby, we can pursue compensation for:
✔ Medical bills (past and future)
✔ Lost wages (if they missed work or internships)
✔ Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
✔ Punitive damages (to punish the organization for reckless conduct)

⚖️ Who Can Be Held Liable for Hazing in Missouri?

We sue everyone responsible—not just the individuals who carried out the abuse. In our current case, we’re pursuing:
✅ The local fraternity/sorority chapter (directly organized the hazing)
✅ The national organization (failed to enforce anti-hazing policies despite knowing about prior incidents)
✅ The university (failed to supervise Greek life, even when they owned the fraternity house)
✅ Individual members (those who participated or allowed it to happen)

Missouri law (RSMo § 578.360) makes hazing a crime—and civil lawsuits allow victims to seek financial justice.

📅 Missouri’s Statute of Limitations for Hazing Cases

You have a limited time to take legal action. In Missouri:

• Personal injury claims: 5 years from the date of injury
• Wrongful death claims: 3 years from the date of death

However, evidence disappears quickly. Witnesses forget. Organizations destroy records. The sooner you contact us, the stronger your case will be.

🚨 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Holt County

If your child was hazed at Northwest Missouri State, Missouri Western, UMKC, Mizzou, or any other school in the region, take these steps immediately:

📌 Step 1: Seek Medical Attention

• Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor. Some conditions (like rhabdomyolysis) may not show symptoms immediately.
• Document everything. Medical records are critical evidence.

📌 Step 2: Preserve Evidence

• Save all communications (texts, Snapchats, GroupMe messages, emails)
• Take photos/videos of injuries, hazing locations, or any physical evidence
• Write down everything (dates, times, what was said, who was involved)
• Get witness names (other pledges, bystanders, anyone who saw what happened)

📌 Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Alone

• They will try to control the narrative and minimize liability.
• Do not give statements to Greek life leaders, university officials, or insurance adjusters.
• Do not sign anything without consulting an attorney.

📌 Step 4: Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

• Call 1-888-ATTY-911 (24/7 for hazing emergencies)

📢 Holt County Parents: This Could Happen to Your Child

In our current case, the victim was:

• Not even a student yet (a “ghost rush” expected to transfer)
• Waterboarded with a garden hose
• Forced to do 500 squats until he collapsed
• Hospitalized with kidney failure

This could happen to any student near Holt County. The same fraternities operate at:

• Mizzou (Columbia)

🚨 Warning Signs Your Child Is Being Hazed

Hazing is often hidden, but parents should watch for:
❌ Unexplained bruises, burns, or injuries
❌ Extreme fatigue or sleep deprivation (falling asleep in class, missing obligations)
❌ Sudden weight loss or gain (from forced eating/drinking or extreme exercise)
❌ Withdrawal from friends/family (shame, fear of retribution)
❌ Secretive behavior (hiding phone, avoiding questions about Greek life)
❌ Decline in academic performance (missing classes, failing grades)
❌ Unusual items in their possession (paddles, strange clothing, sexual objects)

If you notice these signs, your child may be a victim of hazing.
