Hazing Lawyer in Lebanon County, PA – Holding Fraternities Accountable
Lebanon County Parents: Your Child Deserves Justice
If your son or daughter was hazed at a Lebanon County college or university, you’re not alone.

The same negligence that led to a student being hospitalized in Texas exists at Lebanon County institutions.
At Attorney 911, we’re fighting this battle right now—and we’ll fight just as hard for Lebanon County families.

💔 What Hazing Looks Like in Lebanon County
Hazing isn’t just “harmless fun.” It’s abuse, torture, and sometimes deadly. In our current case, a student was:
✅ Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
✅ Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
✅ Struck with wooden paddles
✅ Made to eat until vomiting, then forced to keep running
✅ Hog-tied face-down with an object in his mouth (another pledge)
✅ Hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure
This isn’t tradition. It’s torture.
And it happens in Lebanon County too.
🏛️ Who Is Liable for Lebanon County Hazing?

| National Fraternity | Knew about “hazing crisis” but failed to stop it |
| University/College | Had power to regulate Greek life but failed to act |
| Individual Members | Participated in or allowed the abuse |
| Housing Corporations | Owned the property where hazing occurred |
| Alumni & Advisors | Enabled or ignored the culture of abuse |
Lebanon County families: If your child was hazed, we’ll identify every responsible party and hold them accountable.

🔹 Frequently Asked Questions for Lebanon County Families
Q: My child was hazed but doesn’t want to sue. Should we still call?
A: Yes. Even if your child doesn’t want to sue, you may still have legal options. Some claims (like wrongful death) are brought by families, not the victim. We can advise you on the best path forward.
Q: The fraternity says my child “consented.” Is that a defense?
A: No. Pennsylvania law (like Texas law) explicitly states that consent is NOT a defense to hazing. The fraternity can’t hide behind “tradition” or peer pressure.
Q: How long do we have to take legal action?
A: In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for personal injury is 2 years. However, evidence disappears fast—witnesses forget, messages get deleted, and organizations destroy records. Contact us immediately.
Q: We’re not in Texas. Can you still help us?
A: Absolutely. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including Lebanon County. We have federal court authority and are licensed in Texas and New York, giving us strategic advantages in multi-state cases.
Q: What if the hazing happened off-campus?
A: It doesn’t matter. Hazing is illegal on or off campus. If it was part of fraternity activities, we can still pursue the chapter, nationals, and individuals involved.
Q: How much will this cost us?
A: Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win. Our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict, so there’s no financial risk to your family.
