Hazing Lawyer in Dillon County, SC | Attorney 911 Fights for Victims

Dillon County Families: Your Child Was Hazed. Now What?

If your son or daughter was injured, hospitalized, or traumatized by hazing at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or other student organization in Dillon County, South Carolina, you are not alone. Attorney 911 is currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—proving that these cases can and do win big. And we’re ready to bring that same aggressive representation to Dillon County families.

🚨 This Happens in Dillon County Too

Hazing isn’t just a problem at big universities—it happens right here in Dillon County. Whether your child attends Florence-Darlington Technical College, a nearby university, or a high school sports team, they face the same risks that hospitalized our client. The same national fraternities with deadly hazing histories operate in South Carolina, and the same culture of abuse exists in Dillon County.

If your child was hazed in Dillon County, we will fight for you with the same fury we’re bringing to our current $10M case.

💔 What Happened to Our Client Could Happen in Dillon County

The Case That Shows Dillon County Families What Hazing Really Looks Like

Leonel Bermudez, a young man who accepted a bid to join Pi Kappa Phi at the University of Houston, was subjected to weeks of torture disguised as “tradition”:

• Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he collapsed
• Struck with wooden paddles as punishment
• Forced to eat milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting
• Made to lie in vomit-soaked grass after throwing up
• Hog-tied face-down on a table (another pledge, not Bermudez)
• Threatened with expulsion if he didn’t comply

The result? Bermudez was hospitalized for four days with severe rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and kidney failure—a life-threatening condition caused by extreme physical abuse.

This wasn’t “boys being boys.” This was torture. And it happens in Dillon County too.

📍 Hazing in Dillon County: The Same Fraternities, The Same Risks

Dillon County Parents: Your Child Is at Risk

The same fraternities involved in our $10M lawsuit have chapters near Dillon County, including:

• Pi Kappa Phi (same fraternity that hospitalized Bermudez)
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) (involved in multiple hazing deaths nationwide)
• Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) (responsible for the $10.1M Stone Foltz settlement)
• Phi Delta Theta (responsible for the $6.1M Max Gruver verdict)
• Kappa Sigma (multiple hazing lawsuits, including rhabdomyolysis cases)

These organizations have paid MILLIONS in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries—yet they continue the same abusive “traditions” in Dillon County.

Dillon County Universities & Schools Where Hazing Occurs

While Dillon County itself may not have a major university, students from the area attend schools where Greek life and hazing are prevalent, including:

• Coastal Carolina University (Conway, SC – ~100 miles from Dillon County)
• Francis Marion University (Florence, SC – ~30 miles from Dillon County)
• University of South Carolina (Columbia, SC – ~120 miles from Dillon County)
• Clemson University (Clemson, SC – ~200 miles from Dillon County)
• High school sports teams & ROTC programs (hazing happens in Dillon County schools too)

If your child was hazed at any of these institutions—or any school near Dillon County—we can help.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Dillon County Hazing Victim

Dillon County Parents: You Have Powerful Legal Options

Hazing is illegal in South Carolina, and victims have the right to sue for:
✅ Medical expenses (hospital bills, therapy, future treatment)
✅ Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
✅ Lost wages (if injuries affected work or career)
✅ Punitive damages (to punish the organization for reckless conduct)
✅ Wrongful death (if hazing resulted in a fatality)

South Carolina’s Anti-Hazing Law (S.C. Code § 59-101-210) makes hazing a crime, and consent is NOT a defense. If your child was injured, the organization cannot claim they “agreed to it.”

Who Can Be Sued in a Dillon County Hazing Case?

We pursue every responsible party, including:

• The local fraternity/sorority chapter (directly responsible for hazing)
• The national organization (failed to supervise, ignored warnings)
• The university/college (failed to protect students, owned the property where hazing occurred)
• Individual members (those who participated in or allowed the abuse)
• Alumni & advisors (if they knew about or facilitated hazing)

In our current case, we’re suing Pi Kappa Phi National, the local chapter, the University of Houston, and multiple individuals—because everyone who allowed this to happen must be held accountable.

💰 Multi-Million Dollar Proof: Hazing Cases WIN

🚨 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Dillon County

Step-by-Step Action Plan for Dillon County Families

1. 🏥 Seek Medical Attention Immediately

   • Even if injuries seem minor, get checked—rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and alcohol poisoning can be deadly.
   • Document everything (hospital records, doctor’s notes, photos of injuries).

2. 📸 Preserve All Evidence

   • Take screenshots of text messages, GroupMe chats, Snapchats, Instagram DMs.
   • Save photos/videos of hazing activities.
   • Get witness names and contact info (other pledges, bystanders).
   • Do NOT delete anything—even if it seems embarrassing.

3. 🚫 Do NOT Talk to the Organization or Their Lawyers

   • Fraternities, sororities, and universities will try to control the narrative.
   • Do NOT sign anything without legal counsel.
   • Do NOT post on social media about the incident.

4. 📞 Call Attorney 911 Immediately

   • 2-year statute of limitations in South Carolina—evidence disappears fast.

   • Consider filing a police report (hazing is a crime in SC).
   • Report to the school’s Title IX office (if applicable).
   • We can guide you through this process.
