Attorney 911 — Fighting for Fayette County Students and Families Affected by Hazing

Serving Fayette County, Alabama and surrounding communities from our offices in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont, Texas

🛡️ You Are Not Alone — Fayette County Hazing Victims Have Rights

If your child has been a victim of hazing in Fayette County, Alabama — whether at a local high school, college, fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization — you are not alone. What happened to them was not “tradition.” It was not “just part of joining.” It was abuse. And it was illegal.

At Attorney 911, we are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against a major fraternity and university. We know how to build these cases. We know how to hold institutions accountable. And we will fight for Fayette County families with the same determination we bring to every case.

Fayette County parents and students: You have legal rights. You have the right to compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and the trauma your child endured. You have the right to hold the people and organizations who hurt your child accountable. And you have the right to prevent this from happening to another Fayette County family.

🏫 Hazing in Fayette County — The Reality

Hazing doesn’t just happen at big universities. It happens in Fayette County too.

Fayette County is home to Fayette County High School and is near several colleges and universities where Greek life and student organizations thrive, including:

• Bevill State Community College (Fayette Campus) — Just minutes from Fayette County
• University of West Alabama (Livingston, AL) — Approximately 45 minutes away
• Shelton State Community College (Tuscaloosa, AL) — Approximately 1 hour away
• University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa, AL) — Approximately 1 hour away

These institutions — and the national fraternities and sororities with chapters near Fayette County — have a legal duty to protect students from hazing. When they fail, they must be held accountable.

🚨 What Is Hazing? — Fayette County Parents Need to Know

Hazing is any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them — regardless of the person’s willingness to participate.

Hazing in Fayette County and surrounding areas can include:

• Physical abuse: Beating, paddling, branding, excessive exercise
• Forced consumption: Alcohol, drugs, food (eating until vomiting)
• Psychological abuse: Humiliation, degradation, sleep deprivation
• Sexual abuse: Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
• Dangerous activities: Waterboarding, extreme weather exposure, confined spaces
• Servitude: Forced cleaning, driving members, running errands

This is not “team bonding.” This is abuse. This is illegal. And it can cause permanent physical and psychological harm.

💔 The Medical Consequences of Hazing — What Fayette County Families Face

Hazing can cause serious, sometimes life-threatening injuries:

Fayette County families: If your child was hospitalized, required medical treatment, or is suffering emotionally because of hazing, you may be entitled to substantial compensation.

⚖️ Alabama Hazing Laws — Your Legal Rights in Fayette County

Alabama has strong laws against hazing. Under Alabama Code § 16-1-23, hazing is a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by up to 3 months in jail and a $500 fine.

Importantly, Alabama law states:

“Consent of the victim is not a defense to any prosecution under this section.”

This means: Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the people who hazed them can still be held criminally and civilly liable.

Civil Liability for Hazing in Fayette County

In addition to criminal charges, Fayette County hazing victims can file civil lawsuits to recover compensation for:

• Medical bills (past and future)
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Lost wages
• Academic disruption
• Punitive damages (to punish egregious conduct)

Who can be sued?

• The individuals who conducted the hazing
• The local chapter of the fraternity/sorority
• The national fraternity/sorority organization
• The school or university
• The organization’s housing corporation
• Anyone who knew and failed to stop the hazing

💰 Why Fayette County Families Need an Attorney — The Stakes Are High

Hazing cases are complex. The organizations involved have:

• Teams of lawyers
• Insurance companies
• Risk management professionals
• PR crisis teams

They will try to:

• Blame the victim (“he agreed to participate”)
• Minimize the conduct (“it was just tradition”)
• Destroy evidence
• Intimidate witnesses
• Offer lowball settlements

Fayette County families: You need your own experienced legal team to level the playing field. At Attorney 911, we have:

• 25+ years of litigation experience (Ralph Manginello)
• Former insurance defense attorneys — we know how they think
• Federal court authority — can pursue cases in federal jurisdiction
• Dual-state bar admission (Texas and New York) — strategic advantage
• Experience with hazing-specific litigation — including rhabdomyolysis cases
• A track record of multi-million dollar recoveries

📚 Frequently Asked Questions for Fayette County Families

Q: My child was hazed but didn’t want to report it. Should we still call an attorney?

A: YES. Many hazing victims are afraid to come forward due to fear of retaliation, shame, or loyalty to the group. An attorney can protect your child’s identity and ensure they are not punished for speaking up. The sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.

Q: The school says they’re investigating. Do we still need a lawyer?

A: YES. Schools and universities often conduct internal investigations to protect themselves, not your child. Their goal is to minimize liability. Your goal should be to protect your child and seek justice. An attorney ensures your child’s rights are protected during the school’s investigation.

Q: We’re in Fayette County, Alabama. How can a Texas law firm help us?

A: We represent hazing victims nationwide. While based in Texas, we have federal court authority and can pursue cases across America. We offer video consultations and travel to Fayette County as needed. Distance is not a barrier to justice.

Q: How much does it cost to hire Attorney 911?

A: $0 upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict, not from your pocket.

Q: How long do we have to file a lawsuit?

A: In Alabama, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically 2 years from the date of injury. However, there may be exceptions for minors or delayed discovery of injuries. Do not wait — evidence disappears and witnesses forget. Call us immediately.

Q: Can we sue even if my child “agreed” to participate?

A: YES. Alabama law explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child agreed to participate, the people who hazed them can still be held liable.

Q: What if the hazing happened off-campus?

A: It doesn’t matter. Hazing is illegal whether it happens on campus, off campus, at a private residence, or anywhere else. We can pursue claims against the individuals and organizations involved regardless of location.

Q: Can we sue the national fraternity/sorority organization?

A: YES. National organizations often have deep pockets and substantial insurance coverage. They can be held liable for failing to supervise their local chapters and for maintaining a culture that allows hazing.
