🚨 Hazing Victims in Sandusky County: You Are Not Alone

If your child has been hazed at a fraternity, sorority, or student organization in Sandusky County, Ohio — we can help.

At Attorney 911, we are currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. A young man was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down, and hospitalized with kidney failure. The same fraternities operate at universities near Sandusky County. The same negligence exists in Ohio. We will fight for Sandusky County families with the same aggression we’re bringing to this case.

⚠️ Hazing in Sandusky County: The Reality

Hazing is not just “boys being boys” or “tradition.” It is assault, battery, and sometimes torture. In Sandusky County and across Ohio, students have been:

• Forced to consume alcohol until vomiting or passing out
• Beaten with paddles or other objects
• Forced to exercise until they collapse
• Humiliated and degraded
• Sexually assaulted
• Psychologically tortured

This happens at universities near Sandusky County. Ohio has seen multiple hazing deaths and hospitalizations in recent years. The same national fraternities with chapters near Sandusky County have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries.

🏥 The Medical Consequences of Hazing

Hazing can cause permanent, life-threatening injuries, including:

• Rhabdomyolysis — muscle breakdown that can lead to kidney failure (like our client in Houston)
• Acute alcohol poisoning — which can be fatal
• Traumatic brain injuries — from beatings or falls
• Heat stroke or hypothermia — from extreme physical activity in dangerous conditions
• PTSD, anxiety, and depression — long-term psychological damage
• Death

⚖️ Your Legal Rights in Sandusky County

Ohio has strong anti-hazing laws. Under Ohio Revised Code § 2903.31:

• Hazing is a criminal offense
• Consent is not a defense
• Organizations and individuals can be held criminally and civilly liable

You can sue for:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Punitive damages (to punish the wrongdoers)

💰 Multi-Million Dollar Precedents

Hazing cases have resulted in millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts:

• $10.1 million — Stone Foltz (Bowling Green State University, Pi Kappa Alpha)
• $6.1 million — Maxwell Gruver (Louisiana State University, Phi Delta Theta)
• $110+ million — Timothy Piazza (Penn State, Beta Theta Pi)
• $10 million — Our current case against Pi Kappa Phi and University of Houston

These same results are possible for Sandusky County victims.

🏛️ Who Is Liable?

When hazing occurs, multiple parties can be held accountable:

• The local chapter that organized the hazing
• The national fraternity/sorority organization that failed to supervise
• The university that failed to protect students (especially if they own the property)
• Individual members who participated or failed to stop it
• Chapter officers who allowed or encouraged hazing

🔍 Frequently Asked Questions for Sandusky County Families

❓ What is considered hazing in Ohio?

Under Ohio law, hazing is any act that causes or creates a substantial risk of causing mental or physical harm to any person for the purpose of initiation, admission, or affiliation with any student organization.

Examples include:

• Forced consumption of alcohol or drugs
• Physical beatings or paddling
• Extreme exercise or calisthenics
• Sleep deprivation
• Sexual humiliation or assault
• Any activity that creates a risk of injury

❓ Can I sue if my child was hazed but not physically injured?

Yes. Hazing often causes psychological trauma including PTSD, anxiety, and depression. These injuries are compensable.

❓ What if the fraternity claims my child consented?

Ohio law explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child agreed to participate, the organization and individuals can still be held liable.

❓ Can the university be held liable?

Yes, especially if:

• They knew or should have known about hazing
• They failed to implement adequate oversight
• They own the property where hazing occurred
• They had prior incidents at their fraternities/sororities

❓ What if my child is an international student?

Your child has the same legal rights as any other student. Their immigration status does not affect their right to compensation. We have experience working with international students and families.

❓ How long will my case take?

Every case is different. Some cases settle within months. Others may take 1-2 years, especially if litigation is required. We will keep you informed at every step.

❓ How much will this cost me?

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, so you pay nothing out of pocket.
