🚨 What Counts as Hazing in Brazoria County?

Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or harmless “traditions.” Under Texas law (Education Code § 37.151), hazing includes any activity that:

✅ Endangers physical or mental health – Forced exercise to exhaustion, sleep deprivation, extreme weather exposure
✅ Involves physical brutality – Paddling, waterboarding, beatings, branding, or other forms of assault
✅ Forces consumption of food, alcohol, or drugs – Binge drinking, forced eating until vomiting, or taking substances
✅ Creates humiliation or psychological abuse – Degrading tasks, carrying embarrassing objects, verbal abuse
✅ Threatens or coerces participation – Threats of expulsion, social ostracism, or physical punishment

If your child experienced any of these in Brazoria County, they were hazed—and we can help.

🏥 Real Hazing Injuries We’ve Seen in Texas

Hazing isn’t just embarrassing—it’s dangerous. Some of the most common (and life-threatening) injuries we’ve seen in Texas hazing cases include:

🔴 Rhabdomyolysis – Muscle breakdown from extreme exercise (like forced push-ups, squats, or “suicides”) that can lead to kidney failure (as seen in our current Pi Kappa Phi case)
🔴 Alcohol poisoning – Forced binge drinking leading to coma or death
🔴 Traumatic brain injuries – From beatings, falls, or being struck with objects
🔴 Heatstroke or hypothermia – From prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures
🔴 Broken bones & internal injuries – From physical abuse or dangerous “initiation” rituals
🔴 Severe psychological trauma – PTSD, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation from humiliation and abuse

These injuries can have lifelong consequences—and the organizations responsible must be held accountable.

💔 Who Is Liable for Hazing in Brazoria County?

When hazing happens, multiple parties can be held legally responsible—not just the individuals directly involved. In our Pi Kappa Phi case, we’re suing:

In Brazoria County, the same entities can be held liable. Whether your child was hazed at a local university, a private college, or even a high school team, we can identify the responsible parties and pursue compensation.

💰 How Much Is a Hazing Lawsuit Worth in Brazoria County?

Hazing cases can result in substantial financial compensation, including:

✔ Medical expenses – Hospital bills, therapy, rehabilitation, future medical care
✔ Lost wages – If your child missed work or lost job opportunities due to injuries
✔ Pain and suffering – For physical pain and emotional trauma from the hazing
✔ Punitive damages – To punish the organization for egregious conduct (like waterboarding or forced drinking)

• Keep all documents – Pledge manuals, schedules, or any written rules given to your child

3️⃣ Do NOT Talk to the Organization Without a Lawyer

📌 Common Questions About Hazing Lawsuits in Brazoria County

🔹 Can I sue if my child “consented” to hazing?

Yes. Under Texas law (Education Code § 37.154), consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child agreed to participate, the organization can still be held liable.

🔹 What if the hazing happened off-campus?

You can still sue. Hazing laws apply on or off campus, including at private homes, hotels, or other locations.

🔹 How long do I have to file a hazing lawsuit in Texas?

• Personal injury: 2 years from the date of injury
• Wrongful death: 2 years from the date of death
• Don’t wait—evidence disappears, and witnesses forget. Contact us as soon as possible.

🔹 Will my child get in trouble for reporting hazing?

No. Texas has anti-retaliation laws protecting students who report hazing. Additionally, criminal immunity may apply if your child reports hazing in good faith.

🔹 Can we sue the university even if they didn’t know about the hazing?

Yes. Universities have a duty to protect students from foreseeable harm. If they failed to monitor Greek life or ignored prior hazing incidents, they can be held liable.
