Buffalo, Erie County, New York Sigma Pi Hazing Death: What Happened and What Your Family Can Still Do If your family is living through the aftermath of what happened to Sebastian Serafin-Bazan — an 18-year-old University at Buffalo freshman who died on April 17, 2019, five days after a Sigma Pi hazing ritual on Custer Street left him with a heart attack, blunt force injuries across his head, chest, back, and arms, and internal injuries no family should ever have to learn about — you already know that no check changes what happened. What you may not know is whether the $665,000 settlement with the national fraternity, its local chapter, three individual members, and a landlord was the full measure of accountability. It almost certainly was not. And the separate wrongful death claim your family filed against New York State and the University at Buffalo in the Court of Claims is where the real fight may still live.

We are a trial team that takes New York cases, working with local counsel where required, and right now we are lead counsel in an active $10 million hazing lawsuit against a university…

The Buffalo, Erie County, New York University at Buffalo Hazing Death: Legal Rights and Accountability If you are reading this after losing a son to a fraternity ritual or if your child has been hospitalized following a “pledge” event, you are facing a nightmare that no parent should ever endure. The recent $665,000 settlement involving the death of a freshman at the University at Buffalo (UB) is only one piece of a much larger fight for accountability. While that private settlement brings one chapter to a close, the pending claims against the State of New York and the university itself highlight the systemic failures that lead to these tragedies. When a student is forced into grueling physical exercise or subjected to blunt force trauma in the name of “tradition,” it is not an accident. It is a calculated violation of safety and law. At Attorney911, we handle wrongful death cases where institutions fail to protect the people in their care. We work to ensure that the “asset-light” structure of national fraternities does not become a shield that prevents your family from seeking justice.
