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.
