πŸ›‘οΈ Hazing Legal Emergency: Attorney 911 Now Serving Conway County, Arkansas

Conway County families: If your child was hazed at a college or university near Conway County, Arkansas, you have legal rights. We are fighting this battle right now in Texas β€” and we will fight for Conway County victims with the same fury.

🚨 The Hazing Crisis Has Reached Conway County, Arkansas

You’ve seen the headlines. You’ve heard the stories. Hazing isn’t just happening at big universities far away β€” it’s happening right here near Conway County, Arkansas. The same fraternities that waterboarded a student in Houston, forced pledges to drink until they died, and sent students to the hospital with kidney failure operate chapters at universities near Conway County.

This isn’t “tradition.” This isn’t “brotherhood.” This is abuse. This is assault. This is criminal.

And it’s happening to students from Conway County, Arkansas.

🎯 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Conway County

BREAKING: We are currently representing a hazing victim in a $10 MILLION lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston. Our client was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, struck with wooden paddles, and hospitalized with kidney failure from the abuse.

This isn’t just a Houston problem. This is a Conway County problem.

The same fraternities that did this in Houston have chapters at universities near Conway County. The same “traditions” that nearly killed our client exist at Conway County-area institutions.

Conway County families: If your child was hazed, we will fight for you like we’re fighting in Houston.

πŸ“‹ What Is Hazing? The Legal Definition in Arkansas

Hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership in an organization.

This includes:

  • Physical abuse: Beatings, paddling, branding, forced exercise to exhaustion (like 500 squats)
  • Forced consumption: Alcohol, food, or other substances (drinking until vomiting, forced eating)
  • Psychological torture: Waterboarding, humiliation, threats, sleep deprivation
  • Sexual abuse: Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
  • Dangerous activities: Extreme weather exposure, confinement, calisthenics beyond physical limits

In Arkansas, consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says consent does not matter.

πŸ’” Common Hazing Injuries We See in Conway County Cases

Injury What Happens Medical Consequences
Rhabdomyolysis Muscle breakdown from extreme exercise Kidney failure, hospitalization, permanent damage
Acute Alcohol Poisoning Forced drinking until unconscious Death, brain damage, organ failure
Traumatic Brain Injury Head trauma from beatings or falls Permanent cognitive impairment, memory loss
Broken Bones Physical assaults, paddling Surgery, long-term recovery
Hypothermia/Hyperthermia Exposure to extreme temperatures Organ damage, death

Sexual Assault Forced sexual acts Severe emotional distress, physical injuries

If your child experienced any of these, call us immediately: 1-888-ATTY-911

πŸ›οΈ Who Is Liable? Everyone Who Let This Happen

When hazing occurs, multiple parties share responsibility. We pursue every single one:

Defendant Why They’re Liable
Local Chapter Directly organized and conducted hazing
National Fraternity/Sorority Failed to supervise; knew about hazing culture
University/College Failed to protect students; owned property where hazing occurred
Chapter Officers Leadership responsibility; directed hazing activities
Individual Members Participated in or failed to stop hazing
Alumni Allowed hazing at their homes; premises liability
Insurance Companies Coverage for institutional liability

These defendants have deep pockets. Universities have endowments. National organizations have millions in assets. We know how to pursue them.

πŸ’° What Is Your Conway County Hazing Case Worth?

Hazing cases result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. Here are real examples:

Case Fraternity University Outcome
Stone Foltz Pi Kappa Alpha Bowling Green State $10.1 MILLION
Maxwell Gruver Phi Delta Theta Louisiana State $6.1 MILLION jury verdict
Timothy Piazza Beta Theta Pi Penn State $110 MILLION+ (estimated)
Andrew Coffey Pi Kappa Phi Florida State Confidential settlement
Adam Oakes Delta Chi Virginia Commonwealth $4 MILLION+ settlement

These are not isolated cases. These are the results of what happens when fraternities and universities are held accountable.

Conway County families: Your case could be worth millions.

πŸ“ž What Conway County Families Should Do RIGHT NOW

If your child was hazed, follow these steps immediately:

  1. Get medical attention β€” Even if injuries seem minor, get checked. Some conditions (like rhabdomyolysis) don’t show symptoms immediately.

  2. Preserve all evidence β€” Save every text, photo, video, GroupMe message, Snapchat, Instagram DM. Do not delete anything.

  3. Do NOT talk to the fraternity, sorority, or university without legal counsel β€” They will try to control the narrative and minimize your claim.

  4. Do NOT post on social media β€” Anything you post can be used against you.

  5. Contact Attorney 911 immediately β€” 1-888-ATTY-911 β€” Evidence disappears quickly, and Arkansas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases.

  6. Do NOT sign anything β€” The fraternity, sorority, or university may try to get you to sign a waiver or release.

  7. Keep a journal β€” Document all injuries, medical treatment, and how the hazing has affected your life.

βš–οΈ Your Legal Rights as a Conway County Hazing Victim

As a hazing victim in Conway County, you have the right to pursue compensation for:

  • Medical bills (past, present, and future)
  • Lost wages (if you missed work due to injuries)
  • Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
  • Mental anguish (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
  • Loss of enjoyment of life (impact on daily activities)
  • Punitive damages (to punish the wrongdoers)

Arkansas law allows you to sue even if you “consented” to the hazing. The law explicitly says consent is not a defense.

πŸ—£οΈ What Conway County Families Are Saying

“When my son was hazed, we felt powerless. Attorney 911 gave us our power back. They fought for us like we were family.” β€” Parent of hazing victim

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Conway County Families

1. How much does it cost to hire Attorney 911 for a hazing case?

$0 upfront. We work on contingency β€” we don’t get paid unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery, so Conway County families pay nothing unless we secure compensation for you.

2. What if my child was partially at fault?

Arkansas follows comparative negligence rules. As long as your child was 50% or less at fault, they can still recover compensation. We fight to minimize any fault attributed to the victim.

3. How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

Arkansas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases. This means you have 2 years from the date of the hazing incident to file a lawsuit. Do not wait β€” evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and your rights expire.

4. Will my child have to go to court?

Most cases settle out of court. However, if the fraternity or university refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to take your case to trial. We have extensive trial experience and will fight for maximum compensation.

5. Can we sue if the hazing happened off-campus?

Yes. Hazing is illegal whether it occurs on or off campus. We can pursue claims against the fraternity, its members, and any property owners who allowed hazing to occur.

6. What if the fraternity says my child consented?

Consent is not a defense in Arkansas. The law explicitly states that consent does not matter in hazing cases. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the fraternity can still be held liable.

7. Can we sue the university?

Yes, if the university knew or should have known about the hazing. Universities have a duty to protect students. If they failed to act despite knowledge of hazing risks, they can be held liable.

8. What if my child is afraid of retaliation?

We understand this fear. We protect our clients from retaliation and intimidation. Your safety and privacy are our top priorities.

9. How much is our case worth?

Every case is unique. Factors that affect case value include:

  • Severity of injuries
  • Medical expenses
  • Psychological trauma
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Institutional knowledge (did they know it was happening?)
  • Pattern of abuse (was this isolated or systemic?)

Conway County hazing cases can be worth millions. We will evaluate your case and pursue maximum compensation.

10. What should I do if my child was hazed recently?

Act immediately:

  1. Get medical attention
  2. Preserve all evidence (texts, photos, videos, social media)
  3. Do NOT talk to the fraternity, sorority, or university without legal counsel
  4. Do NOT post on social media
