Why Lee County Families Trust Attorney 911 for Hazing Cases

1. We’re Fighting This Battle RIGHT NOW

Our attorneys, Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña, are currently representing a student who was hospitalized with kidney failure after being subjected to waterboarding, forced exercise, and physical abuse during fraternity hazing at the University of Houston. This isn’t theoretical—we’re in the courtroom fighting for justice today.

The same fraternities and sororities that operate in Houston have chapters near Lee County. The same negligence that led to our client’s hospitalization exists at colleges and universities across Virginia. We will fight for Lee County families with the same determination.

2. We Know How to Win Against Powerful Institutions

Universities and national Greek organizations have teams of lawyers working to minimize your claim. They will argue:

• “It was just tradition.”
• “He agreed to participate.”
• “The university didn’t know.”

We know their playbook because we used to be on their side.

Ralph Manginello is a former insurance defense attorney—he knows exactly how these institutions try to avoid accountability. Lupe Peña worked at a national defense firm before joining Attorney 911. Together, they use that insider knowledge to dismantle their defenses and maximize your compensation.

We don’t just sue—we WIN.

3. We Serve Lee County Families – No Matter Where You Are

While we’re based in Texas (Houston, Austin, Beaumont), we represent hazing victims nationwide, including in Lee County, Virginia. We offer:
✅ Free video consultations – No need to travel
✅ Willingness to travel to Lee County for depositions, meetings, and trials
✅ Federal court authority – We can pursue cases in federal jurisdiction

4. We Work on Contingency – $0 Upfront Costs

We understand that Lee County families may be facing medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma. That’s why we take hazing cases on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing upfront.

How it works:

• We only get paid if we win your case.
• Our fee comes as a percentage of your settlement or verdict.
• If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.

You have nothing to lose by calling us.

5. We Speak Your Language – Se Habla Español

No language barriers. No cultural misunderstandings. Just justice.

What Counts as Hazing in Virginia?

Hazing isn’t just “harmless fun.” Under Virginia law, hazing includes any activity that:
✔ Endangers the physical or mental health of a student
✔ Involves forced consumption of alcohol, drugs, or food
✔ Includes physical brutality (paddling, beatings, branding)
✔ Causes sleep deprivation or extreme exhaustion
✔ Humiliates, degrades, or intimidates students

Examples of hazing we’ve seen in Virginia and nationwide:

• Forced alcohol consumption (binge drinking, “drinking games”)
• Extreme physical punishment (500+ squats, bear crawls, “suicides”)
• Waterboarding or simulated drowning (as seen in our current case)
• Sleep deprivation (late-night activities, forced driving)
• Sexual humiliation (forced nudity, carrying sexual objects)
• Psychological abuse (threats, isolation, verbal harassment)

If your child experienced any of these, they may have a case.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Hazing in Lee County?

Hazing cases aren’t just about the students who participated. Multiple parties can be held accountable, including:

1. The Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter

• The chapter that organized the hazing
• Officers (President, Pledgemaster, Risk Manager)
• Active members who participated

2. The National Greek Organization

• Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and others have millions in assets and insurance coverage.
• They often know about hazing risks but fail to intervene.
• In our current case, Pi Kappa Phi National is a defendant for failing to stop abuse despite knowing about a “hazing crisis.”

3. The University or College

• Premises liability – If hazing occurred on university-owned property
• Negligent supervision – If the school failed to monitor Greek life
• Institutional knowledge – If the school had prior hazing incidents and did nothing

4. Individual Perpetrators

• Students who directly participated in hazing
• Alumni who hosted hazing events
• Advisors who turned a blind eye

We sue EVERYONE responsible.

What Compensation Can Lee County Families Recover?

Hazing victims and their families may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages, including:

Economic Damages (Tangible Costs)

• Medical bills (ER visits, hospital stays, therapy)
• Future medical expenses (kidney monitoring, dialysis, transplants)
• Lost wages (time missed from work or internships)
• Educational disruption (tuition refunds, scholarship losses)

Non-Economic Damages (Pain & Suffering)

• Physical pain from injuries
• Emotional trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
• Humiliation and shame from abusive rituals
• Loss of enjoyment of life (impact on college experience)

Punitive Damages (Punishment for Egregious Conduct)

If the hazing was intentional, reckless, or involved torture, courts may award punitive damages to punish the defendants and deter future misconduct.

Our current hazing case is seeking $10 million—because that’s what it takes to make them stop.

Precedent Cases: Hazing Victims CAN and DO Win Big

Hazing cases result in multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts. Here’s what other families have recovered:

These cases prove that hazing victims and their families CAN win. The same justice is available to Lee County families.
