🚨 Hazing Victims in Long County, Georgia: You Are Not Alone. We Will Fight For You.

The Same Hazing That Hospitalized a Student in Houston Happens Right Here in Long County

A Warning to Long County Parents: What Happened at University of Houston Could Happen to Your Child

On November 6, 2025, a young man named Leonel Bermudez was rushed to the hospital with kidney failure after being hazed at the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity at the University of Houston. The hazing included:

• Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until his muscles broke down
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to keep running through his own vomit
• Another pledge collapsed unconscious during the same hazing period

This didn’t happen in some far-off state. This happened at a major university just hours from Long County. And the same fraternities, the same hazing “traditions,” and the same negligent universities operate right here in Long County and across Georgia.

Long County Families: Your Children Are at Risk

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority at a college near Long County — Armstrong State University, Georgia Southern University, Savannah State University, or any other Georgia institution — they face the same risks.

The same national fraternities with chapters near Long County have paid millions in hazing settlements:

• Pi Kappa Phi (the fraternity in the Houston case) has chapters at Georgia Southern University, University of Georgia, and other Georgia schools
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) paid $6.1 million after a hazing death at LSU
• Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) paid $10 million after a hazing death at Bowling Green State
• Beta Theta Pi paid $110 million after a hazing death at Penn State

These same organizations operate near Long County. They know the risks. They’ve paid millions before. And they will pay again if your child is hazed.

🏛️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Long County?

When hazing happens, everyone involved can be held accountable — not just the students who participated, but the institutions that allowed it to happen.

1. The Local Chapter

The fraternity or sorority chapter that organized and conducted the hazing.

2. The National Organization

The national fraternity or sorority that failed to supervise the chapter despite knowing about hazing risks. These organizations have millions in assets and insurance policies.

3. The University or College

The institution that failed to protect your child, even though they had the power to stop hazing. Many universities in Georgia own the fraternity houses where hazing occurs.

4. Individual Members

Every person who participated in, facilitated, or failed to stop the hazing can be sued individually.

5. Housing Corporations & Alumni

If hazing occurred at a private residence, the property owners can be held liable.

In the Houston case, we are suing ALL of these parties for $10 million. Long County families deserve the same aggressive representation.

⚖️ Georgia Hazing Laws: What Long County Families Need to Know

Georgia has strong laws against hazing, and victims have powerful legal rights.

Georgia’s Anti-Hazing Statute (O.C.G.A. § 16-5-61)

Hazing is a misdemeanor in Georgia, punishable by:

• Up to 12 months in jail
• Fines up to $1,000
• Mandatory reporting by schools

If hazing causes serious bodily injury or death, it becomes a FELONY, punishable by:

• 1-5 years in prison
• Fines up to $10,000

Civil Liability: You Can Sue for Money Damages

Even if criminal charges are filed, you can still file a civil lawsuit to recover compensation for:

• Medical bills (hospital stays, surgeries, therapy)
• Lost wages (if your child had to miss work or school)
• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
• Punitive damages (to punish the defendants and prevent future hazing)

Georgia does NOT cap damages for pain and suffering in hazing cases. This means juries can award millions to victims and their families.

“Consent Is Not a Defense” in Georgia

If the fraternity argues, “Your child agreed to participate,” Georgia law says that doesn’t matter. O.C.G.A. § 16-5-61 explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing.

💰 How Much Is a Long County Hazing Case Worth?

Hazing cases in Georgia and across the country have resulted in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts.

These same results are possible for Long County families. The value of your case depends on:

• The severity of the injuries (physical and psychological)
• Whether the university knew about prior hazing incidents
• Whether the national fraternity failed to supervise the chapter
• The egregiousness of the conduct (waterboarding, forced consumption, physical abuse)

In the Houston case, we are seeking $10 million for a victim who survived but suffered severe injuries. If your child was hazed in Long County, we will fight for the same justice.

📋 What to Do If Your Child Is Hazed in Long County

Step 1: Get Medical Attention Immediately

• Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor
• Hazing can cause rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), alcohol poisoning, traumatic brain injuries, and psychological trauma
• Medical records are critical evidence

Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

• Take photos of injuries, hazing locations, and any items used in hazing
• Save all communications (texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, emails)
• Write down everything that happened (dates, times, who was involved)
• Get names and contact information of witnesses

Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Without a Lawyer

• They will try to control the narrative
• They will try to get your child to sign away their rights
• They will try to destroy evidence

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Long County Families

1. Can I sue if my child was hazed in Long County?

Yes. If your child was injured due to hazing, you can file a civil lawsuit for compensation, even if criminal charges are filed.

2. How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

In Georgia, you have 2 years from the date of the hazing incident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Do not wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and your rights expire.

3. What if my child “consented” to the hazing?

Consent is NOT a defense in Georgia. Even if your child agreed to participate, the fraternity and university can still be held liable.

4. Can I sue the national fraternity?

Yes. National fraternities have millions in assets and insurance policies. They can be held liable for failing to supervise their chapters.

5. Can I sue the university?

Yes, if the university knew or should have known about hazing. Many universities in Georgia own the fraternity houses where hazing occurs, giving them premises liability.

6. What if my child was hazed at a school outside Long County?

We can still help. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including in Georgia. Distance is not a barrier.

7. How much will it cost to hire a lawyer?

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

8. What if the fraternity tries to intimidate my child?

Document everything. If the fraternity or its members try to silence your child, that is evidence of guilt. We will protect your child and hold the fraternity accountable.
