Hazing Lawyer in Breckinridge County, Kentucky – Protecting Victims & Families

🚨 Hazing Happens in Breckinridge County – We Fight Back

If your child was hazed at a Breckinridge County high school, college, or university, you’re not alone. Hazing isn’t just a “rite of passage”—it’s abuse, assault, and sometimes even a crime. At Attorney 911, we’re currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston—and we’re ready to bring that same fight to Breckinridge County families.

🔥 The Same Hazing Happens in Breckinridge County

The same fraternities, sororities, and organizations involved in hazing deaths and hospitalizations nationwide operate right here in Breckinridge County and nearby Kentucky universities. If your child was forced to endure:
Physical abuse (beatings, paddling, extreme exercise)
Forced alcohol or drug consumption (binge drinking, chugging)
Psychological torture (waterboarding, humiliation, sleep deprivation)
Sexual assault or coercion (forced nudity, sexualized hazing)
Dangerous stunts (blindfolded activities, reckless dares)

they may have a legal case.

💰 $10 Million Lawsuit – The Same Justice for Breckinridge County Victims

Our firm is currently representing a student who was hospitalized with kidney failure after being waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and struck with wooden paddles during fraternity hazing. The same abuse happens in Breckinridge County.

We know how to win these cases. Our attorneys have:
Secured multi-million-dollar settlements in hazing cases
Forced fraternities and universities to shut down dangerous chapters
Held institutions accountable for failing to protect students

Breckinridge County families deserve the same justice.

🏛️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Breckinridge County?

Hazing isn’t just the fault of a few bad actors—schools, fraternities, and national organizations share responsibility. We sue:

Defendant Why They’re Liable
Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter Directly organized and participated in hazing
National Fraternity/Sorority Organization Failed to enforce anti-hazing policies despite knowing the risks
University/College Owned or controlled the property where hazing occurred; failed to supervise Greek life
High School (if applicable) Failed to prevent hazing in sports teams, clubs, or other organizations
Individual Members Physically abused, threatened, or coerced victims
Fraternity Housing Corporation Owned the property where hazing took place

In our current case, we’re suing:

  • Pi Kappa Phi National (for failing to stop hazing despite prior deaths)
  • University of Houston (for owning the fraternity house where abuse occurred)
  • Individual fraternity members (for direct participation)

Breckinridge County institutions can be held accountable the same way.

🏥 What Injuries Qualify for a Hazing Lawsuit?

Hazing can cause serious, life-altering injuries—both physical and psychological. If your child suffered any of the following, they may have a case:

Physical Injuries

Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown leading to kidney failure) – like our current client
Alcohol poisoning (hospitalization, coma, death)
Broken bones, concussions, or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Burns or scars from branding
Heatstroke or hypothermia from extreme conditions
Internal bleeding or organ damage

Psychological Trauma

PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Severe anxiety or depression
Suicidal thoughts or self-harm
Fear of retaliation (common in hazing cases)
Academic decline due to trauma

If your child was hospitalized, forced to drop out, or suffered long-term harm, we can help.

📅 Kentucky Hazing Laws – Know Your Rights

Kentucky has strong anti-hazing laws to protect students. Under KRS 164.375, hazing is defined as:

“Any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation, admission, or affiliation with an organization.”

Kentucky Hazing Penalties

Offense Criminal Penalty Civil Liability
Hazing (misdemeanor) Up to 12 months in jail + fines Lawsuits for medical bills, pain & suffering, punitive damages
Hazing causing serious injury Felony charges (1-5 years in prison) Multi-million-dollar lawsuits
Hazing resulting in death Felony manslaughter (5-10 years) Wrongful death lawsuits

⚠️ Consent is NOT a defense in Kentucky.
Even if your child “agreed” to participate, they can still sue for damages.
