Hazing Victims in Uintah County Deserve Justice — Attorney 911 Fights for Your Rights

If your child has been hazed at a university near Uintah County, you are not alone. Attorney 911 is currently litigating a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for the severe hazing of a student who was waterboarded, forced to perform extreme physical exercises, and hospitalized with kidney failure. This same abuse happens at institutions near Uintah County — and we will fight for Uintah County families with the same determination.

🚨 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Uintah County

In November 2025, Leonel Bermudez, a prospective member of Pi Kappa Phi at the University of Houston, was subjected to weeks of systematic abuse, including:

  • Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
  • Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
  • Struck with wooden paddles
  • Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to continue exercising
  • Hog-tied face-down on a table for over an hour (another pledge)
  • Result: Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and kidney failure, requiring 4 days of hospitalization

This is not “tradition.” This is not “brotherhood.” This is torture — and it happens at universities near Uintah County.

🔥 The Same Fraternities Operate Near Uintah County

Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and other national fraternities have active chapters at universities across Utah and nearby states. If they hazed a student in Houston, they are hazing students near Uintah County too.

🏛️ Universities Near Uintah County Are Complicit

The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where the hazing occurred — and they had prior knowledge of hazing at their campus. Universities near Uintah County have the same power to stop hazing — and the same liability when they don’t.

⚖️ Uintah County Families Have Legal Rights

Hazing is illegal in Utah and most states. Consent is not a defense — even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law holds abusers accountable.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

  • The fraternity chapter (local and national)
  • Individual members (president, pledgemaster, participants)
  • The university (if they knew or should have known)
  • Alumni who allowed hazing at their homes
  • Insurance companies (fraternity and university policies)

What Damages Can You Recover?

  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Pain and suffering (physical and emotional)
  • Lost wages (if hazing disrupted education or employment)
  • Punitive damages (to punish egregious conduct)
  • Wrongful death (if hazing results in fatality)

💰 Multi-Million Dollar Precedents Prove Hazing Cases Win

Hazing lawsuits have resulted in millions of dollars in compensation for victims and their families:

  • $10.1 million — Stone Foltz (Pi Kappa Alpha, Bowling Green State)
  • $6.1 million — Maxwell Gruver (Phi Delta Theta, LSU)
  • $110+ million — Timothy Piazza (Beta Theta Pi, Penn State)
  • $4+ million — Adam Oakes (Delta Chi, VCU)

Our $10 million demand for Leonel Bermudez is in line with these verdicts — and Uintah County families deserve the same justice.
