Hazing Victim Legal Support in Dawes County, Nebraska

🚨 You Are Not Alone: Justice for Hazing Victims in Dawes County

Hazing is not tradition. It is not brotherhood. It is abuse, torture, and—in far too many cases—manslaughter. If you or your child has been a victim of hazing in Dawes County or at a nearby university, you have legal rights, and you deserve justice.

At Attorney 911, we are currently litigating a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for the severe hazing of a pledge who nearly died from rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure. We know how to fight these cases—and win. While we are based in Texas, we serve hazing victims nationwide, including in Dawes County, Nebraska.

📍 How Hazing Affects Dawes County Families

Dawes County is home to families who send their children to colleges across Nebraska and beyond, including:

• Chadron State College (Chadron, NE)
• University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Lincoln, NE)
• University of Nebraska at Kearney (Kearney, NE)
• Nebraska Wesleyan University (Lincoln, NE)
• And other regional universities with Greek life

The same national fraternities that have been involved in deadly hazing incidents—Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and others—operate chapters at universities near Dawes County. If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority in Nebraska, they face the same risks that hospitalized our client in Houston.

🔥 What We’ve Seen in Dawes County & Beyond

Hazing takes many forms, all of which are dangerous and illegal:

• Forced alcohol consumption (binge drinking, chugging, “drink until you vomit”)
• Extreme physical punishment (500+ squats, 100+ pushups, bear crawls, paddling)
• Waterboarding & simulated drowning (yes, this happens—our client was waterboarded with a garden hose)
• Sleep deprivation (forced late-night activities, early-morning driving, exhaustion)
• Psychological torture (humiliation, threats, carrying degrading objects)
• Sexual abuse & assault (forced nudity, inappropriate touching, sexualized hazing)

These are not “pranks.” These are crimes. And when universities and fraternities allow them to happen, they must be held accountable.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Dawes County Hazing Victim

1. Nebraska Hazing Laws Are on Your Side

Nebraska has strict anti-hazing laws (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-311.06) that make hazing a Class I misdemeanor (up to 1 year in jail). If the hazing causes serious bodily injury or death, it becomes a Class III or IV felony.

Key Nebraska Law:

“It is not a defense that the victim consented to the hazing.”

This means fraternities cannot claim “he agreed to it” as an excuse. If they hazed you, they broke the law.

2. Civil Lawsuits Can Recover Millions for Victims

Even if criminal charges are filed, you can still sue for damages, including:

• Medical bills (hospitalization, therapy, future treatment)
• Lost wages (if you missed work or lost job opportunities)
• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
• Punitive damages (to punish the fraternity/university for reckless behavior)

Recent hazing settlements & verdicts nationwide:

Dawes County families can recover the same compensation. We will fight for you.

3. Who Can Be Held Liable?

Hazing cases often involve multiple defendants, each with deep pockets:

• The local fraternity chapter (directly responsible)
• The national fraternity organization (failed to supervise)
• The university (failed to protect students, especially if they own the fraternity house)
• Individual members (those who participated or allowed it to happen)
• Alumni & housing corporations (if hazing occurred at their property)

In our current case, we are suing:
✅ Pi Kappa Phi National
✅ The UH Beta Nu Chapter
✅ The University of Houston (they owned the fraternity house)
✅ Individual fraternity members
✅ A former member & his spouse (hazing occurred at their home)

We will pursue every liable party in your Dawes County case.

📋 What to Do If You or Your Child Was Hazed in Dawes County

🚨 Step 1: Seek Medical Attention Immediately

• Rhabdomyolysis, alcohol poisoning, and head injuries can be fatal if untreated.
• Go to the emergency room if you have:
  • Severe muscle pain
  • Dark/brown urine (sign of muscle breakdown)
  • Difficulty walking or moving
  • Confusion, vomiting, or loss of consciousness

📱 Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

Do NOT delete anything. Save:

• Text messages & group chats (GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram DMs)
• Photos & videos (of injuries, hazing activities, fraternity events)
• Social media posts (even if you think they’re harmless)
• Medical records (hospital bills, doctor’s notes, therapy records)
• Witness names & contact info (other pledges, friends, bystanders)

🚫 Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Without a Lawyer

• They will try to get you to sign away your rights.
• They will twist your words to blame you.
• They will destroy evidence if they can.
