Why Randolph County Families Trust Attorney 911 for Hazing Cases

1. We’re Fighting This Battle Right Now—And Winning

We’re currently representing Leonel Bermudez, a student who was hospitalized with kidney failure after being waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and struck with wooden paddles during Pi Kappa Phi hazing at the University of Houston.

The fraternity’s response? They closed the chapter—and then said they “look forward to returning to campus.”

Our response? We filed a $10 million lawsuit to send a message: Hazing will not be tolerated in Randolph County—or anywhere else.

Randolph County families: This isn’t just happening in Texas. The same fraternities operate at universities near Randolph County. The same negligence exists at Randolph County institutions. We will fight for your child with the same fury we’re bringing to this case.

2. We Know How to Sue Fraternities, Sororities, and Universities

Hazing cases are complex—but we have the experience to win.

Who we sue in Randolph County hazing cases:
✅ Local fraternity/sorority chapters – The students who organized and carried out the hazing
✅ National organizations – The headquarters that knew about the hazing culture but failed to stop it
✅ Universities & colleges – The institutions that own the fraternity houses, control Greek life, and fail to protect students
✅ Individual perpetrators – The chapter presidents, pledgemasters, and members who personally participated in abuse

Our current case proves it:

Pi Kappa Phi National – Admitted they 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, beat, and forced excessive exercise on our client

Randolph County families: If your child was hazed at a local university, we will identify every liable party—and make them pay.

4. We Don’t Get Paid Unless You Win

What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Randolph County, NC

Step 1: Get Medical Help Immediately

If your child shows any signs of injury—go to the emergency room. Some hazing injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) don’t appear right away but can be life-threatening if untreated.

Signs your child needs medical attention:

Severe muscle pain or weakness
Dark brown or red urine (sign of muscle breakdown)
Difficulty walking or moving
Confusion, dizziness, or fainting
Vomiting or inability to keep food down
Signs of alcohol poisoning (slurred speech, unconsciousness)

Randolph County hospitals:

Cone Health Randolph Hospital (Asheboro, NC)
Novant Health Rowan Medical Center (Salisbury, NC – nearby)
Wake Forest Baptist Health – Lexington Medical Center (Lexington, NC – nearby)

Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

Do NOT delete anything. Hazing cases are won or lost based on evidence.

Save these immediately:
✅ Text messages & GroupMe/Snapchat chats – Even if they seem harmless
✅ Photos & videos – Of injuries, hazing activities, or the fraternity house
✅ Medical records – Hospital bills, doctor’s notes, therapy records
✅ Witness names & contact info – Other pledges, bystanders, friends
✅ Fraternity documents – Pledge manuals, schedules, rules
✅ Social media posts – Screenshots of any posts about hazing

⚠️ WARNING: Fraternities and universities will try to destroy evidence. Do not talk to them without a lawyer.

Step 3: Call Attorney 911 Immediately

The sooner you call us, the stronger your case will be.

Randolph County Hazing Lawyer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I sue if my child was hazed at a Randolph County university?

Yes. If your child was injured due to hazing, you can sue:

The fraternity/sorority chapter
The national organization
The university (if they knew or should have known about the hazing)
Individual members who participated

2. What if my child “consented” to hazing?

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

3. How much is my Randolph County hazing case worth?

Every case is different, but hazing cases often settle for millions. Factors that increase case value:
✔ Severity of injuries (hospitalization, surgery, long-term damage)
✔ Egregious conduct (waterboarding, beatings, forced alcohol)
✔ University/fraternity knowledge (did they know about prior hazing?)
✔ Wrongful death (if the hazing was fatal)

4. What if the hazing happened off-campus?

You can still sue. Hazing is illegal whether it happens on or off campus. If the fraternity organized the hazing, they are still liable.

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

North Carolina’s statute of limitations is 3 years from the date of injury. But don’t wait—evidence disappears fast.

No. North Carolina has anti-retaliation laws protecting hazing victims. If the fraternity or university retaliates, they can be sued for additional damages.

7. How much does it cost to hire a Randolph County hazing lawyer?

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis—you only pay if we win your case.
