Hazing Injury Lawyers in Collin County – Holding Fraternities & Universities Accountable

Collin County Families: Your Child Was Hazed. Now What?

If your son or daughter was injured, hospitalized, or traumatized by hazing at a fraternity, sorority, or other student organization in Collin County, you’re not alone. Attorney 911 is currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—proving that fraternities and universities can and should be held legally and financially responsible for the harm they allow.

The same fraternities, the same negligence, and the same life-altering injuries happen right here in Collin County. If your child was forced into dangerous rituals—waterboarding, extreme physical punishment, forced drinking, sleep deprivation, or psychological abuse—we will fight for justice, medical compensation, and accountability.

🚨 This Happens in Collin County Too

Collin County is home to respected universities and colleges where Greek life thrives. But behind the polished image of brotherhood and sisterhood, a dangerous culture persists:

• Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, and other national fraternities operate chapters near Collin County.
• Universities in Collin County have the same oversight failures as University of Houston—failing to protect students despite knowing the risks.
• Hazing injuries like rhabdomyolysis, alcohol poisoning, and psychological trauma happen here, just like they did to our client in Houston.

If your child was hazed in Collin County, we can help—no matter where the incident occurred.

🏥 What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Illegal in Texas)

Hazing isn’t just “harmless tradition”—it’s abuse, assault, and sometimes torture. Under Texas law (Education Code § 37.151), hazing includes:
✅ Physical brutality – Beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion (500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls)
✅ Forced consumption – Drinking until vomiting, eating until passing out, consuming dangerous substances
✅ Psychological abuse – Waterboarding (simulated drowning), humiliation, threats of expulsion
✅ Sleep deprivation – Forced late-night activities, early-morning drills
✅ Exposure to harm – Stripping in cold weather, lying in vomit, being sprayed with hoses

Texas law is clear: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the fraternity, university, and individuals can still be held liable.

💰 Why a Hazing Lawsuit Is Worth It for Collin County Families

Hazing isn’t just morally wrong—it’s expensive. Victims face:

• Emergency room visits, hospital stays, and long-term medical treatment (kidney failure, PTSD, chronic pain)
• Lost wages from missing work or school
• Therapy and mental health care for trauma, anxiety, and depression
• Future medical costs if injuries lead to permanent damage

Our $10 million lawsuit proves that hazing cases win big settlements. Recent hazing verdicts and settlements include:

• $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)

Collin County families deserve the same justice.

🏛️ Who Can Be Sued in a Collin County Hazing Case?

We don’t just sue the fraternity members—we go after everyone who allowed this to happen:

In our current case, we’re suing:
✔ Pi Kappa Phi National (for failing to stop hazing after Andrew Coffey’s death in 2017)
✔ University of Houston (for owning the fraternity house where hazing occurred)
✔ Individual fraternity members (for waterboarding, forced exercise, and paddling)

We’ll do the same for Collin County families.

🔍 How We Prove a Hazing Case in Collin County

Hazing cases are documented. We build strong cases by:
✅ Preserving evidence immediately – Texts, GroupMe chats, photos, videos, witness statements
✅ Medical records – Hospital reports, doctor’s notes, therapy records
✅ Pattern evidence – Prior hazing incidents at the same chapter or university

Our firm has already shut down the UH Pi Kappa Phi chapter. We’ll do the same for dangerous Collin County chapters.

📞 What Collin County Families Should Do Now

If your child was hazed, time is critical. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and statutes of limitations expire.

2. Document everything – Save texts, photos, videos, and witness names.

💬 What Collin County Parents Are Asking Us

❓ “My son was hazed, but he’s afraid to come forward. What should we do?”

Hazing victims often fear retribution, social backlash, or being labeled a “snitch.” We protect our clients’ identities and safety. Our client in the UH case was also afraid—but speaking out shut down the chapter and may prevent future injuries.

❓ “The fraternity says my child ‘consented’ to hazing. Is that a defense?”

No. Texas law (Education Code § 37.154) explicitly states that consent is NOT a defense to hazing. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the fraternity and university are still liable.

❓ “We live in Collin County, but the hazing happened at a school in another city. Can you still help?”

Yes. We serve clients nationwide through federal court and remote consultations. If your child was hazed in Texas (or anywhere in the U.S.), we can represent you.

❓ “How much is our hazing case worth?”

Every case is different, but hazing settlements and verdicts often reach millions of dollars, especially when:

• The victim was hospitalized (like our client with kidney failure)
• The fraternity had prior hazing incidents
• The university knew and did nothing
• The hazing involved extreme abuse (waterboarding, forced exercise, paddling)

❓ “How long do we have to file a lawsuit?”

In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Do not wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and fraternities destroy records.
