🔍 What Is Hazing? Nebraska’s Legal Definition

Hazing in Nebraska includes any activity that endangers the physical or mental health of a student for the purpose of initiation, admission, or membership in a group. This includes:

Physical abuse (beatings, paddling, forced exercise)
Forced consumption (alcohol, food, non-food substances)
Sleep deprivation (late-night activities, early-morning tasks)
Psychological torture (humiliation, threats, isolation)
Sexual abuse (forced nudity, sexual acts, harassment)
Dangerous stunts (blindfolded activities, extreme weather exposure)

Nebraska law (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-311.06) makes hazing a crime. But even if no criminal charges are filed, victims can sue for compensation.

🏛️ Who Can Be Sued for Hazing in Nebraska?

If your child was hazed, multiple parties can be held legally responsible, including:

Defendant Why They’re Liable
Local fraternity/sorority chapter Organized and conducted hazing
National fraternity/sorority Failed to supervise; knew about hazing culture
University/college Failed to prevent hazing; owned/controlled property
Chapter officers (president, pledgemaster) Directed hazing activities
Individual members Participated in or allowed hazing
Alumni/hosts Allowed hazing at their homes
Insurance companies Coverage for institutional liability

Antelope County families: Even if the hazing happened at a school outside Antelope County, we can pursue the case in federal court if the fraternity is national.

💰 How Much Is a Nebraska Hazing Case Worth?

Hazing lawsuits can result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts, including compensation for:

Type of Damage Examples Potential Compensation
Medical bills Hospital stays, ER visits, therapy $50,000 – $500,000+
Future medical care Dialysis, kidney transplant, therapy $100,000 – $1M+

Pain & suffering Physical pain, emotional trauma $100,000 – $5M+

  • $6.1M – Maxwell Gruver (Phi Delta Theta, Louisiana)
  • $110M+ – Timothy Piazza (Beta Theta Pi, Pennsylvania)

Nebraska families: These same results are possible for Antelope County victims.

📅 Nebraska’s Statute of Limitations – Act Fast

Nebraska law gives you only 2 years from the date of injury (or death) to file a lawsuit.

⚠️ Don’t wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and your legal rights expire.

🔥 Our $10 Million Hazing Lawsuit – What It Means for Antelope County

💦 Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
🏋️ Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed

⚖️ Nebraska Hazing Laws – What You Need to Know

Nebraska Revised Statute § 28-311.06 – Hazing is a Crime

Under Nebraska law, hazing is a Class II misdemeanor, punishable by:

  • Up to 6 months in jail
  • Fines up to $1,000

But even if no criminal charges are filed, you can still sue for damages.

Consent Is NOT a Defense in Nebraska
