Pennsylvania College Hazing Death: A Coach, a Known Condition, and a Freshman Who Never Came Home You sent your son to college on a football scholarship. He was eighteen years old, a thousand miles from home, in a small Pennsylvania town along the Susquehanna River where he was supposed to be learning pharmacy and playing the sport he loved. The next call you got was from a hospital. Then, two days later, the call no parent is built to receive.

What Happened at the Fraternity House Was Not an Accident When you sent your son to a university in Pennsylvania, you expected him to find a community, a future, and a career. You did not expect him to be coerced into a “ritual” that ended his life. What happened to Timothy Piazza at the Beta Theta Pi house in State College is a tragedy that has reshaped our state’s laws, but for a family in the middle of this nightmare, “tragedy” is too soft a word. This was a systemic, calculated abandonment. As a trial firm that handles wrongful death cases in Pennsylvania, we look at these events through a cold, forensic lens. We see a 19-year-old engineering student coerced into consuming 18 drinks in less than 90 minutes. We see a series of falls that caused a catastrophic brain injury and a ruptured spleen. But most importantly, we see a 12-hour window where he was left to languish on a couch and in a basement while the people who called themselves his “brothers” did nothing. The recent sentencing of the final fraternity leaders is a form of criminal accountability, but it does not make a family whole. The civil…

Justice for Families Affected by Pennsylvania College Hazing When you dropped your child off at a university in State College or anywhere across Pennsylvania, you were entrusting their future to an institution that promised a safe environment for growth. Finding out that your child was subjected to a “gauntlet” of forced alcohol consumption, physical abuse, or lethal neglect is a betrayal of the highest order. We know that behind the “secrecy and silence” of fraternity culture lies a machine designed to protect the organization at the cost of your child’s life. In the wake of tragedies like the one at Penn State, Pennsylvania passed some of the strictest laws in the country to stop this cycle. But criminal charges against students aren’t enough to change a system that treats young lives as disposable. We are a trial firm that takes wrongful death cases in Pennsylvania because we believe the only way to stop the next death is to make it too expensive for these organizations to let it happen again. Understanding Your Rights Under Pennsylvania’s Anti-Hazing Laws Pennsylvania’s legal framework changed forever in 2018 with the passage of the Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing Law, commonly known as “Tim’s Law.” This…
