🚨 Hazing Attorney for Phelps County, Nebraska – Immediate Legal Help for Fraternity & Sorority Abuse Victims

If your child was hazed, abused, or injured in Phelps County Greek life, Attorney 911 is fighting this battle RIGHT NOW β€” and we will fight for your family too.

We are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and hospitalized with kidney failure. The same fraternities and sororities operate at colleges near Phelps County β€” and the same abuse is happening to students in your community.

Phelps County families: You are not alone. We can help.

We serve Phelps County and all of Nebraska β€” no matter where the hazing occurred.

πŸ”₯ What Is Happening to Students in Phelps County?

Hazing is not “tradition.” It is not “team building.” It is abuse, assault, and torture β€” and it is happening at fraternities, sororities, sports teams, and student organizations across Nebraska.

This is what hazing looks like in Phelps County:

  • Waterboarding – Simulated drowning with hoses
  • Forced drinking – Alcohol poisoning risks
  • Extreme physical punishment – 100+ pushups, 500+ squats, bear crawls until collapse
  • Forced eating – Milk, hot dogs, peppercorns until vomiting
  • Sleep deprivation – Forced to drive members at all hours
  • Psychological torture – Humiliation, threats, isolation
  • Physical beatings – Wooden paddles, punches, restraints

In our current case, a student was hospitalized for four days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being forced to do 500 squats. This same abuse is happening to students near Phelps County β€” and universities are doing nothing to stop it.

πŸ›οΈ Who Is Responsible for Phelps County Hazing?

When hazing happens, everyone who allowed it is liable β€” not just the students involved.

We sue:

βœ… The local fraternity/sorority chapter – The people who organized and participated in the abuse
βœ… The national organization – They knew about hazing and failed to stop it (Pi Kappa Phi had a death in 2017 and did nothing)
βœ… The university – They own the fraternity houses, control Greek life, and ignore hazing until someone gets hurt
βœ… Individual members – Chapter presidents, pledgemasters, and anyone who participated
βœ… Alumni and property owners – If hazing happened at their homes or businesses

Phelps County families: These institutions have deep pockets and insurance policies. We know how to make them pay.

πŸ’° What Is Your Phelps County Hazing Case Worth?

Hazing cases result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. Our attorneys have secured millions for victims of abuse and institutional negligence, and we are currently seeking $10 million in our active hazing lawsuit.

What you can recover:

  • Medical bills – Hospitalization, therapy, future treatment
  • Pain and suffering – Physical and emotional trauma
  • Lost wages – Time missed from work or school
  • Educational disruption – Tuition refunds, scholarship losses
  • Punitive damages – To punish the organization and prevent future abuse

Recent hazing verdicts & settlements:

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
Andrew Coffey Florida State Pi Kappa Phi Confidential (major settlement)

Phelps County families: Your case could be worth millions. Don’t let them silence you.

βš–οΈ Your Legal Rights as a Phelps County Hazing Victim

1. Consent Is NOT a Defense in Nebraska

Fraternities will claim your child “agreed to participate.” Nebraska law says consent does not matter. Hazing is illegal, and organizations cannot hide behind “tradition.”

2. Universities Are Liable for Hazing

Colleges near Phelps County own the fraternity houses and have the power to stop hazing. When they fail to act, they are legally responsible.

3. National Organizations Knew About Hazing

Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, and other nationals have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries. They knew the risks and did nothing to stop it.

4. You Have 2 Years to Act in Nebraska

Nebraska’s statute of limitations for personal injury is 2 years from the date of injury. Evidence disappears fast β€” contact us immediately.

🚨 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Phelps County

βœ… IMMEDIATE ACTION STEPS:

  1. Get medical attention – Even if injuries seem minor, document everything
  2. Preserve evidence – Save texts, photos, videos, social media posts
  3. Do NOT talk to the fraternity/sorority or university alone – They will try to silence you
  4. Do NOT sign anything – You may be waiving your rights
  5. Call Attorney 911 immediately – 1-888-ATTY-911

❌ DO NOT:

  • Delete any messages or posts
  • Confront the organization without legal representation
  • Give statements to university administrators
  • Accept a lowball settlement from insurance

πŸ” Frequently Asked Questions for Phelps County Families

Q: My child was hazed but doesn’t want to sue. Should we still contact you?

A: Yes. We can advise you on your options, even if you’re not ready to file a lawsuit. Many victims change their minds after learning their rights.

Q: Will my child get in trouble for reporting hazing?

A: No. Nebraska has anti-retaliation laws protecting hazing victims. We will ensure your child is protected.

Q: Can we sue if the hazing happened off-campus?

A: Yes. Hazing is illegal on or off campus, and universities can still be held liable for failing to prevent it.

Q: What if my child was drinking during the hazing?

A: That does not excuse the fraternity’s conduct. Consent is not a defense under Nebraska law.

Q: How long do we have to file a lawsuit in Nebraska?

A: Nebraska’s statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of injury. Contact us immediately β€” evidence disappears fast.
