🚨 Lincoln County Hazing Lawyer — Fraternity Abuse & University Negligence
Lincoln County Families: Your Child Was Hazed. We Can Help.
Hazing isn’t tradition. It’s abuse. And Lincoln County students are at risk.
At Attorney 911, we’re currently fighting a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for hazing that hospitalized a student with kidney failure from forced exercise, waterboarding, and physical abuse. The same fraternities operate at universities near Lincoln County. The same negligence exists at Lincoln County institutions.
If your child was hazed in Lincoln County, we can help — no matter where you are.
⚠️ The Hazing Crisis in Lincoln County
Lincoln County is home to families who value education, community, and safety. But when students leave for college, they face dangers that Lincoln County parents never anticipated.
Hazing happens at universities near Lincoln County — and it’s not what you think.
It’s not just “boys being boys” or “harmless pranks.” It’s torture disguised as tradition:
- Waterboarding with garden hoses — simulated drowning
- Forced exercise until collapse — 500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls
- Physical beatings with wooden paddles
- Forced eating until vomiting
- Sleep deprivation and exhaustion
- Psychological abuse and humiliation
This isn’t happening in some far-off state. It’s happening at universities near Lincoln County.
And when universities and fraternities fail to stop it, Lincoln County families pay the price — with hospital bills, trauma, and sometimes the loss of their child.
🏥 What Hazing Does to Lincoln County Students
Hazing doesn’t just cause bruises. It causes serious, life-threatening injuries:
| Injury | What It Means | Lincoln County Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Rhabdomyolysis | Muscle breakdown causing kidney failure | Hospitalization, dialysis, potential lifelong kidney damage |
| Acute Kidney Failure | Kidneys stop filtering waste | Life-threatening; may require transplant |
| Alcohol Poisoning | Overdose from forced drinking | Can cause death; survivors may have brain damage |
| Traumatic Brain Injury | From beatings or falls | Permanent cognitive impairment |
| PTSD, Anxiety, Depression | From psychological abuse | Therapy, medication, academic decline |
| Death | From any of the above | Irreversible loss for Lincoln County families |
Our client in Houston was hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being waterboarded and forced to do 500 squats. This could happen to a Lincoln County student tomorrow.
🏛️ Who Is Responsible for Lincoln County Hazing Victims?
When Lincoln County students are hazed, multiple parties are liable:
- The Local Fraternity Chapter — The students who organized and conducted the hazing
- The National Fraternity/Sorority Organization — They knew about hazing risks and failed to stop it
- The University — They have the power to regulate Greek life but often fail to act
- Individual Members — Everyone who participated or failed to stop the abuse
- Housing Corporations — If hazing occurred at a fraternity/sorority house
In our current case:
- Pi Kappa Phi National knew about a “hazing crisis” but failed to enforce anti-hazing rules
- University of Houston owned the fraternity house where the torture occurred
- Individual members waterboarded our client and forced him to exercise until he couldn’t stand
Lincoln County families: The same liability applies to hazing at universities near Lincoln County.
⚖️ Lincoln County Families Have Legal Rights
Texas Law Protects Hazing Victims
Under Texas Education Code § 37.151-37.157, hazing is illegal — and consent is not a defense.
What this means for Lincoln County victims:
- Even if your child “agreed” to participate, they can still sue
- Fraternities cannot hide behind “tradition”
- Universities cannot claim they didn’t know
- The law is on your side
Civil Lawsuits Allow Lincoln County Families to Recover:
| Damage Type | What It Covers | Lincoln County Example |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Bills | Hospital stays, treatment, therapy | $100,000+ for kidney failure treatment |
| Lost Wages | Time missed from work or internships | Student loses summer job due to recovery |
| Pain & Suffering | Physical and emotional trauma | PTSD from waterboarding |
| Punitive Damages | Punishment for egregious conduct | Fraternity waterboards students despite prior incidents |
| Wrongful Death | If hazing causes death | Funeral expenses, loss of future earnings |
Our current case seeks $10 million — and precedent cases show Lincoln County families can win big.
💰 Precedent Cases: Hazing Victims Win Millions
Hazing lawsuits result in multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. These aren’t hypothetical — they’re what juries and courts actually award:
| Case | University | Fraternity | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Foltz | Bowling Green State | Pi Kappa Alpha | $10.1 million |
| Maxwell Gruver | Louisiana State | Phi Delta Theta | $6.1 million jury verdict |
| Timothy Piazza | Penn State | Beta Theta Pi | $110+ million (estimated) |
| Andrew Coffey | Florida State | Pi Kappa Phi | Confidential settlement |
| Adam Oakes | Virginia Commonwealth | Delta Chi | $4+ million settlement |
Lincoln County families: These same results are possible for your case.
📋 What Lincoln County Families Should Do Immediately
If your child was hazed, time is critical. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and legal deadlines expire.
✅ IMMEDIATE ACTION STEPS:
- Seek Medical Attention — Even if injuries seem minor, get checked. Some conditions (like rhabdomyolysis) may not appear immediately.
- Preserve All Evidence — Save texts, photos, videos, social media posts, fraternity documents.
- Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity/University Alone — They will try to control the narrative and minimize your claim.
- Do NOT Post on Social Media — Anything you post can be used against you.
- Contact an Attorney Immediately — The statute of limitations is typically 2 years — don’t wait until it’s too late.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Lincoln County Families
Q: My child was hazed at a university near Lincoln County. Can you help even if we’re not in Texas?
A: Yes. While we’re based in Texas, we represent hazing victims nationwide. Our federal court authority and dual-state bar licenses allow us to pursue cases anywhere in America. If your child was hazed at a university near Lincoln County, we can evaluate your case immediately.
Q: The fraternity says my child “consented” to hazing. Can they still sue?
A: Yes. Under Texas law (and most state laws), consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child agreed to participate, they can still sue. The law recognizes that peer pressure, threats, and social coercion negate true consent.
Q: How much is my Lincoln County hazing case worth?
A: Every case is different, but hazing cases typically result in multi-million dollar recoveries, especially when:
- The victim was hospitalized
- The fraternity has a history of hazing
- The university knew and failed to act
- The conduct was particularly egregious (waterboarding, forced exercise until collapse, etc.)
Our current case seeks $10 million — and precedent cases support this amount.
Q: What if my child is afraid to come forward?
A: We understand. Hazing victims often fear retribution. In our current case, our client is “fearful of doing an interview due to retribution” (ABC13). We protect our clients’ identities and build cases carefully to minimize backlash.
Q: How long do we have to file a lawsuit?
A: Most states have a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases. In Texas, it’s 2 years from the date of injury. Do not wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and your rights expire.
Q: We can’t afford a lawyer. How much does it cost?
A: $0 upfront. We work on contingency — you pay nothing unless we win. Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict, so there’s no financial risk for Lincoln County families.
