🚨 Hazing Victims in Furnas County Deserve Justice β€” We Fight for Nebraska Families

If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, or student organization near Furnas County, Nebraska β€” you are not alone. We are fighting this battle right now.

At Attorney 911, we are currently representing a hazing victim in a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston for extreme abuse that hospitalized our client with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure. This same fraternity has chapters at universities near Furnas County. The same negligence exists at Nebraska institutions. And we will fight for Furnas County families with the same aggression.

πŸ₯ This Happens in Nebraska Too β€” We Know the Signs

Our client was:

  • Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
  • Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he collapsed
  • Struck with wooden paddles
  • Forced to eat until he vomited, then made to run through his own vomit
  • Hospitalized for 4 days with severe muscle breakdown and kidney failure

This is not “tradition.” This is torture. This is assault. And it happens at Nebraska colleges too.

πŸŽ“ Nebraska Universities and Greek Life β€” The Same Risks Exist Here

Furnas County is home to dedicated families who send their children to college expecting them to be safe. But the reality is:

  • National fraternities like Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Pi Kappa Alpha have active chapters at Nebraska universities
  • Hazing is widespread β€” studies show 55% of students in Greek organizations experience hazing
  • Universities often fail to act until someone is hospitalized or dies
  • The same “traditions” that hospitalized our client exist at Nebraska fraternities and sororities

If your child attends or plans to attend college near Furnas County, they face the same risks.

βš–οΈ Nebraska Hazing Laws β€” You Have Rights

Nebraska has strong anti-hazing laws that protect students:

Nebraska Revised Statute Β§ 28-311.06 β€” Hazing Defined

Hazing includes any activity that:

  • Endangers the physical or mental health of a student
  • Is required for membership in an organization
  • Includes physical brutality, forced consumption, sleep deprivation, or humiliation

Nebraska Revised Statute Β§ 28-311.07 β€” Criminal Penalties

  • Class I misdemeanor β€” up to 1 year in jail and $1,000 fine
  • Class IV felony β€” if the hazing causes serious bodily injury (1-5 years in prison)
  • Organizations can be fined up to $10,000

Civil Liability

Victims can sue for:

  • Medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Punitive damages (to punish egregious conduct)

Most importantly β€” consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says it doesn’t matter.

πŸ’° Hazing Cases Win Millions β€” Nebraska Families Can Too

We are currently suing for $10 million in our Texas case. Here’s what other hazing victims have won:

Case University Fraternity Outcome
Stone Foltz Bowling Green State Pi Kappa Alpha $10.1 million settlement
Maxwell Gruver LSU Phi Delta Theta $6.1 million jury verdict
Timothy Piazza Penn State Beta Theta Pi $110+ million settlement
Adam Oakes VCU Delta Chi $4+ million settlement

These same results are possible for Nebraska victims. We know how to build these cases, and we know how to win.

πŸ” Warning Signs of Hazing β€” What Furnas County Parents Should Watch For

Hazing is often hidden, but there are warning signs:

Physical Signs Behavioral Signs Academic Signs
Unexplained bruises, cuts, or burns Sudden withdrawal from friends/family Drop in grades
Extreme fatigue or exhaustion Secretive about activities Skipping classes
Difficulty walking or moving Anxiety or depression Withdrawing from school
Passing dark/brown urine (sign of rhabdomyolysis) Fear of retribution
Sudden weight loss Avoiding certain people
Hospitalization for “unknown illness” Changes in sleep patterns

If your child shows these signs β€” ask questions. Hazing is not always obvious, but the consequences are real.

  • Take photos of injuries at all stages

🏒 Who We Sue for Nebraska Hazing Victims

When hazing happens, everyone who allowed it can be held accountable:

Defendant Why They’re Liable
Local Chapter Directly organized and conducted hazing
National Organization Failed to supervise; knew about hazing culture
University Failed to protect students; had power to stop hazing
Individual Members Participated in or failed to stop hazing
Chapter Advisors Failed to oversee chapter activities
Housing Corporations Owned property where hazing occurred
Insurance Companies Coverage for institutional liability

We don’t just sue broke college students β€” we go after the institutions with deep pockets.

🎯 Our Message to Nebraska Fraternities and Universities

To the fraternities and sororities operating near Furnas County:

We are watching. The same legal strategies that secured $10+ million verdicts nationwide apply to your chapter. If you haze students in Nebraska, we will pursue every liable entity. We already shut down the Pi Kappa Phi chapter at UH. Your chapter could be next.

To the universities near Furnas County:

The same institutional negligence that made University of Houston a defendant exists at your campus. Act now or face the same accountability.

πŸ“š Furnas County Parents β€” What You Need to Know About Hazing

Hazing is Not Just “Boys Being Boys”

It includes:

  • Physical abuse β€” beatings, paddling, branding, forced exercise
  • Forced consumption β€” alcohol, food, non-food substances
  • Sleep deprivation β€” all-night activities, early morning demands
  • Psychological torture β€” waterboarding, humiliation, threats
  • Sexual abuse β€” forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects

Hazing Causes Real Harm

  • Rhabdomyolysis β€” muscle breakdown that can cause kidney failure (like our client)
  • Alcohol poisoning β€” can be fatal
  • Traumatic brain injury β€” from beatings or falls
  • PTSD, anxiety, depression β€” long-term psychological damage
  • Death β€” at least one hazing death occurs every year in America

Universities Know β€” And They Do Nothing

  • Most universities have hazing policies
  • They conduct “anti-hazing training” that doesn’t work
  • They suspend chapters only after someone gets hurt
  • They claim to be “shocked” every time β€” but they’re not
