Why Bleckley County Families Trust Attorney 911 for Hazing Cases
1. We’re Fighting Hazing Right Now – And Winning
- $10 Million Lawsuit Filed – We are currently representing a hazing victim against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for extreme physical abuse that led to kidney failure.
- National Fraternities Have Paid Millions – We’ve studied cases where fraternities like Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, and Beta Theta Pi have paid $6M–$110M in settlements and verdicts.
- Georgia-Specific Experience – While based in Texas, we serve hazing victims nationwide, including Bleckley County, Georgia, through federal court authority and remote consultations.
2. We Know How to Sue Fraternities, Universities, and Individuals
Hazing cases are complex, but we know how to hold every responsible party accountable, including:
✅ Local fraternity/sorority chapters – The students who carried out the abuse
✅ National organizations – The corporations that enable hazing culture
✅ Universities & colleges near Bleckley County – Institutions that fail to protect students
✅ Individual members & alumni – Those who participated or allowed hazing to happen
In our current case, we’re suing:
- Pi Kappa Phi National
- The local UH chapter
- The fraternity housing corporation
- University of Houston (which owned the fraternity house)
- Individual members, including the fraternity president and pledgemaster
We will pursue every liable party in your Bleckley County case.
3. We Understand the Medical & Psychological Impact of Hazing
Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys”—it causes real, lasting harm, including:
- Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown leading to kidney failure) – like our current client
- Alcohol poisoning – common in forced drinking hazing
- Traumatic brain injuries – from beatings or falls
- PTSD, anxiety, and depression – long-term psychological trauma
- Wrongful death – when hazing turns fatal
We work with medical experts to document your injuries and fight for full compensation.
4. We Know Georgia Hazing Laws & How to Win
Georgia has strict anti-hazing laws (O.C.G.A. § 16-5-61), making hazing a misdemeanor or felony depending on severity. Consent is NOT a defense—even if a student “agreed” to participate, the organization can still be held liable.
We’ve studied Georgia’s hazing cases and know how to build a strong claim.
5. We Work on Contingency – No Upfront Costs
We understand that Bleckley County families may be worried about legal fees. That’s why we take hazing cases on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case.
What Counts as Hazing in Georgia?
Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 16-5-61) defines hazing as any activity that endangers the mental or physical health of a student for the purpose of initiation, admission, or affiliation with an organization.
This includes:
✔ Forced physical activity (e.g., 100+ pushups, bear crawls, “suicides”)
✔ Forced consumption (alcohol, food, non-food substances)
✔ Sleep deprivation (late-night activities, early-morning demands)
✔ Psychological abuse (humiliation, threats, isolation)
✔ Physical assault (paddling, beating, branding)
✔ Dangerous stunts (blindfolded activities, extreme weather exposure)
✔ Sexual humiliation (forced nudity, carrying sexual objects)
If your child experienced any of these at a Bleckley County school, fraternity, or organization, call us now: 1-888-ATTY-911
