🚨 Hazing Victims in Davis County: You Are Not Alone. We Will Fight for You.
From Houston to Davis County — The Same Hazing Happens Here. The Same Justice Is Possible Here.
📢 Davis County Parents: Your Child Is at Risk
If your son or daughter is joining a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization at Weber State University, Davis Technical College, or any school in Davis County, they face the same hazing risks that hospitalized our client in Houston.
The same national fraternities operate in Davis County.
The same “traditions” exist in Davis County.
The same negligence happens at Davis County institutions.
And when it happens, the same justice is possible.
⚠️ This Happened in Houston. It Happens in Davis County.
The Case That Shows Davis County Families What Hazing Really Is
Leonel Bermudez wanted to join Pi Kappa Phi at the University of Houston. Instead, he was:
- Waterboarded with a garden hose — simulated drowning, a form of torture
- Forced to do 500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls — until his muscles broke down
- Struck with wooden paddles — physical assault with weapons
- Forced to eat until he vomited — then forced to keep running through his own vomit
- Hospitalized for 4 days with kidney failure — from rhabdomyolysis, a life-threatening condition
This wasn’t “tradition.” This wasn’t “brotherhood.” This was torture.
And it could happen to your child at Weber State, Davis Tech, or any Davis County school.
🏛️ Davis County Universities Have the Same Liability
The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where Leonel was waterboarded. They collected rent while students were tortured.
Weber State University and other Davis County institutions have the same power — and the same responsibility — to stop hazing.
When they fail, they can be held accountable — just like UH.
💰 Davis County Families Can Win Millions
The Bermudez case seeks $10 million in damages. Other hazing cases have resulted in:
- $10.1 million (Stone Foltz, Pi Kappa Alpha)
- $6.1 million jury verdict (Max Gruver, Phi Delta Theta)
- $110+ million (Timothy Piazza, Beta Theta Pi)
These same results are possible for Davis County victims.
