Why Gilpin County Families Trust Attorney 911 for Hazing Cases

1. We’re Fighting This Battle Right Now

We are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—a case involving waterboarding, forced exercise to the point of kidney failure, and institutional negligence.

This isn’t theoretical. This is happening now. And we’re bringing the same fight to Gilpin County.

2. Former Insurance Defense Attorneys – We Know Their Playbook

Both of our attorneys—Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña—worked for insurance companies and national defense firms before switching sides to represent victims.

We know how they think. We know how they try to deny claims. And we know how to dismantle their defenses.

3. Federal Court Authority – We Can Pursue Your Case Anywhere

We are admitted to U.S. District Court and have dual-state bar licenses (Texas & New York), meaning we can represent hazing victims nationwide, including in Gilpin County.

Distance is not a barrier. We will travel to Gilpin County for depositions, client meetings, and trials.

4. Proven Track Record of Multi-Million Dollar Results

We’ve recovered millions for victims of negligence, including:

• BP Texas City explosion litigation (mass tort experience)
• Wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases
• Hazing-specific cases (Kappa Sigma, Texas A&M, rhabdomyolysis injuries)

We don’t just talk about hazing—we win cases against the institutions that enable it.

5. We Speak Spanish – Se Habla Español

Many hazing victims in Gilpin County come from Spanish-speaking families. We provide bilingual legal services to ensure no language barriers prevent justice.

What Counts as Hazing in Gilpin County?

Hazing is not “tradition.” It’s not “brotherhood.” It’s abuse.

Under Colorado law, hazing includes:

✅ Physical abuse – Beatings, paddling, branding, forced exercise to exhaustion
✅ Forced consumption – Alcohol, food, or substances to the point of vomiting or injury
✅ Waterboarding & simulated drowning – Torture disguised as “initiation”
✅ Sleep deprivation – Forced late-night activities causing exhaustion
✅ Psychological torture – Humiliation, threats, degradation
✅ Sexual abuse – Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
✅ Servitude – Forced cleaning, errands, or driving members at all hours

If your child experienced any of these, they were hazed. And they deserve justice.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Hazing in Gilpin County?

1. The Fraternity or Sorority Chapter

• Local Gilpin County chapter that organized and conducted hazing
• Chapter officers (president, pledge master, etc.) who directed activities
• Individual members who participated in or failed to stop hazing

2. The National Organization

• Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and other nationals that failed to supervise their Gilpin County chapters
• Housing corporations that own fraternity/sorority property
• Alumni chapters that fund and influence undergraduate behavior

3. The University or College

• Gilpin County universities and colleges that failed to protect students despite knowing about hazing risks
• University officials who ignored complaints or covered up incidents
• Greek life advisors who failed to enforce anti-hazing policies

4. Individual Perpetrators

• Fraternity/sorority members who directly participated in hazing
• Former members who hosted hazing at their homes
• Spouses or roommates who allowed hazing on their property

We sue everyone responsible—no exceptions.
