🚨 Nevada Hazing Lawyer: Protecting Students from Fraternity & Sorority Abuse
When tradition becomes torture, we fight back.
If your child was hazed at a Nevada college or university, you’re not alone. The same brutal “initiation rituals” that hospitalized a student in Houston are happening right here in Nevada. Forced drinking, physical abuse, psychological torture — these aren’t harmless traditions. They’re crimes. And we’re holding the institutions that enable them accountable.
Attorney 911 is fighting this battle nationwide. While based in Texas, our hazing litigation team serves victims across America, including Nevada. We’re currently litigating a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for the same type of abuse that could be happening to your child at UNLV, UNR, or other Nevada schools.
⚠️ The Hazing Crisis in Nevada
Nevada isn’t immune to America’s hazing epidemic. Greek organizations at Nevada universities operate under the same national fraternities and sororities that have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries nationwide.
The same fraternities with chapters in Nevada have documented hazing histories:
- Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike): Paid $10.1 million after Stone Foltz’s death
- Pi Kappa Phi: Currently being sued for $10 million after our client was hospitalized with kidney failure
- Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE): Multiple hazing incidents across the country
- Phi Delta Theta: $6.1 million jury verdict after Max Gruver’s death
These same organizations have chapters at Nevada universities. If your child was hazed in Nevada, we can help.
🏥 What Nevada Hazing Looks Like
Our current case shows exactly what hazing victims endure:
- Waterboarding — Simulated drowning with a garden hose
- Forced consumption — Eating until vomiting, then being forced to continue activities
- Extreme physical punishment — 500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls until collapse
- Sleep deprivation — Forced to drive members at all hours
- Psychological torture — Humiliation, degradation, threats of expulsion
- Sexual humiliation — Forced to carry objects of sexual nature
- Wooden paddles — Physical beatings
The result? Our client spent four days in the hospital with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure — a life-threatening condition caused by muscle breakdown.
This isn’t tradition. This is torture.
🎓 Nevada Universities That May Be Liable
Nevada colleges and universities have the same duty to protect students as institutions nationwide. When they fail, they can be held accountable.
Universities in Nevada with Greek life that may face hazing liability:
| University | Location | Greek Life Presence | Potential Liability |
|---|---|---|---|
| University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) | Las Vegas | Active Greek system with multiple fraternities and sororities | Owns/controls Greek housing; failed to prevent hazing |
| University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) | Reno | Large Greek community | Oversight responsibility; premises liability |
| Nevada State University | Henderson | Growing Greek presence | Newer programs may lack proper oversight |
| Truckee Meadows Community College | Reno | Smaller Greek presence | Duty to protect all students |
| College of Southern Nevada | Las Vegas | Limited Greek life | Still responsible for student safety |
Nevada parents: If your child was hazed at any Nevada institution, the university may share liability — especially if they own or control the property where hazing occurred.
⚖️ Nevada Hazing Laws: Your Legal Rights
Nevada has specific laws against hazing, and victims have strong legal rights:
Nevada Revised Statutes § 200.605 – Hazing Defined
“Hazing” means any method of initiation into or affiliation with a student organization, athletic team or living group that causes, or is likely to cause, bodily danger, physical harm or personal degradation or disgrace resulting in physical or mental harm to any student or other person.
Nevada Revised Statutes § 200.610 – Criminal Penalties
- Misdemeanor: Hazing that creates risk of harm
- Gross Misdemeanor: Hazing that causes bodily injury
- Felony: Hazing that causes substantial bodily harm or death
Civil Liability in Nevada
Nevada victims can sue for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Punitive damages (for especially egregious conduct)
- Wrongful death (if hazing results in death)
Important: Consent is not a defense to hazing in Nevada. Even if your child agreed to participate, the organization can still be held liable.
💰 What Nevada Hazing Cases Are Worth
Hazing cases result in substantial settlements and verdicts nationwide. Nevada victims can expect similar compensation:
| Case Type | Nevada Settlement Range | National Precedents |
|---|---|---|
| Minor injuries | $50,000 – $250,000 | Soft tissue injuries, minor medical treatment |
| Moderate injuries | $250,000 – $1,000,000 | Broken bones, burns, hospitalization |
| Severe injuries | $1,000,000 – $5,000,000+ | Rhabdomyolysis, kidney failure, permanent damage |
| Wrongful death | $5,000,000 – $10,000,000+ | Loss of life, family compensation |
| Punitive damages | Up to $3,000,000+ | For especially egregious or repeated conduct |
Our current case: We’re seeking $10 million for a student hospitalized with kidney failure from hazing. Nevada victims can expect similar compensation for severe cases.
🏛️ Who We Sue for Nevada Hazing Victims
When we represent Nevada hazing victims, we pursue every responsible party:
- Local fraternity/sorority chapter — The individuals who conducted the hazing
- National organization — Failed to supervise, failed to enforce anti-hazing policies
- University/college — Failed to protect students, premises liability if they own the property
- Individual members — Those who participated in or facilitated hazing
- Chapter advisors — Adults who should have prevented hazing
- Housing corporations — Property owners where hazing occurred
- Insurance companies — Policies covering the organizations and individuals
Nevada parents: We don’t just sue broke college students. We go after the institutions with deep pockets that enabled the abuse.
