Hazing Lawyers for Caroline County Families – Justice for Victims of Fraternity Abuse
Hazing doesn’t stop at state lines. Neither do we.
At Attorney 911, we’re currently fighting a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for the hazing that hospitalized a young man with severe kidney failure. This same fraternity has chapters near Caroline County, and we’re here to protect Caroline County families from the same abuse.
If your child has been hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization in Caroline County, we can help. You deserve justice — and we know how to get it.
🚨 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Caroline County
Our client, Leonel Bermudez, accepted a bid to join Pi Kappa Phi at the University of Houston. What followed was weeks of systematic abuse that sent him to the hospital with rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure for four days.
The hazing included:
- 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 keep running
- Another pledge lost consciousness during a workout
- Threats of expulsion if he didn’t comply
This wasn’t “tradition.” This was torture. And it’s happening at fraternities near Caroline County too.
The Same Fraternities Operate Near Caroline County
Pi Kappa Phi has 150+ chapters across America — including near Caroline County. If they’re waterboarding students in Houston, how many other chapters are engaging in the same abuse?
Other national fraternities with hazing histories also have chapters near Caroline County, including:
- Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) – $10M+ settlements for hazing deaths
- Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) – Multiple hazing deaths and lawsuits
- Phi Delta Theta – $6.1M jury verdict for hazing death
- Beta Theta Pi – $110M+ settlement for hazing death
These organizations have paid millions in settlements — and they’ll pay for what they do to Caroline County students too.
🏛️ Why Universities Near Caroline County Are Also Responsible
The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where Leonel Bermudez was hazed. They had the power to inspect, regulate, and shut it down — but they didn’t.
Universities near Caroline County have the same responsibility to protect students. If they fail, they can be held legally accountable — just like UH is in our case.
Caroline County Parents: Your Child’s School May Be Failing Them Too
- Do they own or control fraternity/sorority houses?
- Have they had prior hazing incidents they ignored?
- Do they have real oversight of Greek life — or just empty policies?
If your child was hazed, the university may be liable too.
💰 Hazing Cases Win Millions — We Know How to Get Results
Hazing lawsuits have resulted in multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements, including:
- $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 precedents — and Caroline County victims deserve the same justice.
📞 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Caroline County
1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even if injuries seem minor, some conditions (like rhabdomyolysis) can be life-threatening if untreated. Document everything.
2. Preserve All Evidence
- Photos/videos of injuries, hazing activities, or locations
- Text messages, GroupMe chats, Snapchats, emails about the hazing
- Names and contact info of witnesses
- Medical records from hospital visits or therapy
Do NOT delete anything. This evidence is critical to your case.
3. Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity, Sorority, or University Alone
They will try to control the narrative, destroy evidence, or pressure your child into silence. Let us handle all communication.
4. Call Attorney 911 Immediately
Hazing cases have strict deadlines. In Virginia, you typically have 2 years to file a lawsuit — but evidence disappears fast.
