Hazing Victims in Wallowa County Deserve Justice – We Fight for You
This Happened in Texas. It Happens in Wallowa County Too.
On November 21, 2025, our law firm filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a young man was hospitalized with kidney failure from extreme hazing. He was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until he collapsed, and beaten with wooden paddles—all in the name of “tradition.”
This wasn’t an isolated incident. It’s happening at universities near Wallowa County right now.
If your child was hazed—whether in a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization—you have legal rights. And we will fight for you with the same aggression we’re bringing to this case.
Why Wallowa County Families Choose Attorney 911
1. We’re Fighting This Battle RIGHT NOW
While other firms talk about hazing cases, we’re in the courtroom fighting one. Our attorneys, Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña, are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit—proving we have the experience to win for Wallowa County families.
2. Former Insurance Defense Attorneys – We Know Their Playbook
Both Ralph and Lupe worked for insurance companies before switching sides to represent victims. We know how they try to deny claims, delay justice, and lowball settlements. We use that knowledge to dismantle their defenses.
3. Federal Court Authority – We Can Pursue Your Case Anywhere
While we’re based in Texas, our federal court admissions mean we can represent hazing victims nationwide—including in Wallowa County. Whether your child was hazed at a local university, a military academy, or a private school, we will travel to Wallowa County for your case.
4. Dual-State Bar Licenses (Texas & New York) – Strategic Advantage
Many national fraternities and sororities are headquartered in New York. Our dual-state bar licenses give us a strategic edge when pursuing these organizations.
5. We Speak Spanish – Se Habla Español
Hazing doesn’t discriminate, and neither do we. Our bilingual staff ensures no language barrier stands between your family and justice.
6. $0 Upfront – You Don’t Pay Unless We Win
We work on contingency—meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case. This ensures every Wallowa County family can afford top-tier legal representation.
What Counts as Hazing in Wallowa County?
Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “harmless tradition.” It’s abuse. Under Oregon law, hazing includes:
✅ Physical abuse – Beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion
✅ Forced consumption – Alcohol, food, or non-food substances to the point of vomiting
✅ Psychological torture – Waterboarding, sleep deprivation, humiliation
✅ Sexual abuse – Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
✅ Servitude – Forced cleaning, driving, or errands for members
If your child experienced any of these, they were hazed—and we can help.
Who Is Liable for Hazing in Wallowa County?
Hazing cases aren’t just about the individuals involved. Institutions share blame. We pursue:
🔹 Local chapters – The fraternity/sorority that organized the hazing
🔹 National organizations – The parent fraternity/sorority that failed to supervise
🔹 Universities & colleges – Schools that knew or should have known about hazing
🔹 Individual members – Those who participated or allowed it to happen
🔹 Housing corporations – Property owners where hazing occurred
🔹 Alumni & advisors – Former members who enabled the culture
In our current case, we’re suing all of them—and we’ll do the same for Wallowa County families.
What Can Wallowa County Families Recover?
Hazing causes physical, emotional, and financial harm. We fight for:
💰 Medical expenses – Hospital bills, therapy, future treatment
💰 Lost wages – Time missed from work or school
💰 Pain and suffering – Physical and emotional trauma
💰 Punitive damages – To punish egregious misconduct (like waterboarding)
💰 Wrongful death – If hazing led to a fatality
Precedent cases show hazing lawsuits win millions:
- $10.1M – Stone Foltz (Bowling Green State, Pi Kappa Alpha)
- $6.1M – Maxwell Gruver (LSU, Phi Delta Theta)
- $110M+ – Timothy Piazza (Penn State, Beta Theta Pi)
Wallowa County families deserve the same justice.
What Should Wallowa County Families Do Right Now?
✅ Step 1: Seek Medical Attention
Even if injuries seem minor, get checked immediately. Some conditions (like rhabdomyolysis) can take days to appear.
✅ Step 2: Preserve Evidence
- Take photos of injuries, hazing locations, and any objects used
- Save all communications – Texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, social media
- Get witness names – Other victims or bystanders
- Keep medical records – Hospital bills, doctor’s notes
✅ Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Organization
- Do not confront the fraternity/sorority
- Do not sign anything they give you
- Do not post about the incident on social media
✅ Step 4: Call Attorney 911 Immediately
Time is critical. Oregon has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and your rights expire.

Frequently Asked Questions for Wallowa County Families
Q: My child was hazed but didn’t go to the hospital. Can we still sue?
A: Yes. Even if there were no physical injuries, psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression) is compensable. We’ve won cases for emotional distress alone.
Q: The fraternity says my child “consented.” Does that matter?
A: No. Oregon law (like Texas law) explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing. They cannot claim your child “agreed” to abuse.
Q: We’re in Wallowa County—can you really help us?
A: Absolutely. We represent hazing victims nationwide. Our federal court authority and willingness to travel mean we can pursue your case no matter where it happened.
Q: How much will this cost us?
A: Nothing upfront. We work on contingency—you only pay if we win. We don’t get paid unless you do.
Q: What if my child is afraid of retaliation?
A: We protect our clients. Your identity can be kept confidential during legal proceedings. We’ll ensure you’re safe while we fight for justice.
