Hazing Lawyers for Lamb County, Texas Families
Aggressive Legal Representation for Hazing Victims & Their Families
If your child has been hazed at a fraternity, sorority, or student organization near Lamb County, Texas, you are not alone. Attorney 911 is currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—proving that we know how to hold institutions accountable. We will bring the same fight to Lamb County.
🚨 Hazing Happens in Lamb County Too
Lamb County may be a small community, but its students attend universities across Texas where Greek life thrives. The same fraternities involved in hazing deaths and hospitalizations nationwide—Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi—have chapters at institutions near Lamb County, including:
- West Texas A&M University (Canyon, TX)
- Texas Tech University (Lubbock, TX)
- Midwestern State University (Wichita Falls, TX)
- Texas A&M University (College Station, TX)
If your child is pledging—or has pledged—a fraternity or sorority near Lamb County, they face the same risks that hospitalized our client in Houston.
🔥 The Hazing Crisis in Texas: What Lamb County Families Need to Know
1. Hazing Is Not “Tradition”—It’s Abuse
Hazing is not harmless fun. It is assault, battery, and sometimes torture. Our client was:
- Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
- Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he couldn’t stand
- Beaten with wooden paddles
- Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to run sprints in his own vomit
- Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and kidney failure
This is not “brotherhood.” This is abuse.
2. Universities & National Organizations Know—And Do Nothing
- Pi Kappa Phi had a student die from hazing in 2017 (Andrew Coffey, FSU). They did nothing to stop it from happening again.
- The University of Houston had a student hospitalized from hazing in 2017 (Jared Munoz, Pi Kappa Alpha). They did nothing to prevent another incident.
- Now, in 2025, another student was hospitalized—this time at Pi Kappa Phi’s UH chapter.
If this can happen at major universities, it can happen near Lamb County.
3. Texas Law Protects Hazing Victims—But You Must Act Fast
Texas has strict anti-hazing laws, including:
- Criminal penalties (up to 2 years in jail for hazing that causes serious injury)
- Civil liability (victims can sue for medical bills, pain and suffering, and punitive damages)
- Consent is NOT a defense (Texas law explicitly states that victims cannot “consent” to hazing)
But you only have 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. If your child was hazed in Lamb County, time is running out.
⚖️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Lamb County?
When hazing occurs, multiple parties can be held responsible, including:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable | Lamb County Application |
|---|---|---|
| Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing | Any Greek chapter near Lamb County can be sued |
| National Fraternity/Sorority Organization | Failed to supervise chapters despite knowing about hazing risks | Pi Kappa Phi, SAE, Pike, and others have chapters near Lamb County |
| University/College | Failed to prevent hazing despite prior incidents; may own fraternity houses | West Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Midwestern State, and others near Lamb County |
| Individual Members | Participated in or facilitated hazing | Each member who hazed your child can be sued personally |
| Alumni/Advisors | Allowed hazing to occur at their homes or under their supervision | Alumni near Lamb County may be liable |
| Insurance Companies | Provide liability coverage for fraternities and universities | Deep pockets for settlements |
We sue ALL responsible parties—because hazing is never just one person’s fault.
💰 How Much Is a Hazing Lawsuit Worth?
Hazing cases can result in multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts, including compensation for:
- Medical bills (hospitalization, therapy, future treatment)
- Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
- Lost wages (if the victim missed work or school)
- Punitive damages (to punish the organization for reckless conduct)
Recent Hazing Case Results:
| Case | Fraternity | University | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Foltz (2021) | Pi Kappa Alpha | Bowling Green State | $10.1 million settlement |
| Maxwell Gruver (2017) | Phi Delta Theta | LSU | $6.1 million jury verdict |
| Timothy Piazza (2017) | Beta Theta Pi | Penn State | $110+ million settlement |
| Leonel Bermudez (2025) | Pi Kappa Phi | University of Houston | $10 million lawsuit (pending) |
These results are possible for Lamb County families too.
🛡️ What Should Lamb County Families Do If Their Child Was Hazed?
✅ Step 1: Get Medical Attention Immediately
- Even if your child says they’re “fine,” hazing can cause serious internal injuries (rhabdomyolysis, kidney failure, brain trauma).
- Go to the ER or urgent care—delaying treatment can worsen injuries and hurt your case.
✅ Step 2: Preserve All Evidence
- Take photos/videos of injuries, hazing locations, and any items used in hazing.
- Save all communications (texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram DMs).
- Get witness names and contact info (other pledges, bystanders).
- Do NOT delete anything—even if it seems embarrassing.
✅ Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity, University, or Insurance Companies
- They will try to trick you into saying something that hurts your case.
- They may offer a lowball settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries.
- Refer all communication to your attorney.
