Why Union County Families Trust Attorney 911 for Hazing Cases

1. We Are Fighting This Battle Right Now

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 with dangerous hazing cultures operate at colleges near Union County, including:

• Young Harris College (just 30 minutes from Union County)
• University of North Georgia (Gainesville & Dahlonega campuses)
• Truett McConnell University (Cleveland, GA)
• North Georgia Technical College (Clarkesville & Blairsville)
• Nearby universities with Greek life chapters (Georgia Tech, UGA, Kennesaw State, etc.)

This isn’t just happening in Texas—it’s happening in Union County’s backyard.

2. We Know How to Win Against Powerful Institutions

Fraternities, sororities, and universities have teams of lawyers working to silence victims and minimize payouts. We have 25+ years of experience taking on:
✅ National fraternity/sorority organizations (Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, SAE, and more)
✅ Universities that fail to protect students (like UH, which owned the fraternity house where hazing occurred)
✅ Individual members who participate in abuse

We don’t back down—even when the other side has deep pockets.

3. We Understand the Unique Hazing Culture in Union County & North Georgia

Hazing in Union County and nearby colleges often involves:

• Extreme physical punishment (forced exercise, paddling, sleep deprivation)
• Dangerous drinking rituals (binge drinking, chugging, alcohol poisoning)
• Psychological torture (waterboarding, humiliation, threats)
• Sexual abuse & degradation (forced nudity, carrying sexual objects, assault)
• Medical emergencies (rhabdomyolysis, kidney failure, traumatic brain injury)

We’ve seen it before—and we know how to stop it.

4. We Serve Union County Families No Matter Where the Hazing Happened

While we are based in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont, Texas, we represent hazing victims nationwide, including in Union County, Georgia. We offer:
✅ Free remote consultations (phone/video)
✅ Travel to Union County for depositions, meetings, and court appearances
✅ Federal court authority to pursue cases against national organizations
✅ Contingency fee representation – $0 upfront costs (we only get paid if we win)

Distance is not a barrier to justice.

5. We Protect Union County Victims from Retaliation

Hazing victims often fear speaking out because of threats, intimidation, or social pressure. Our client in the Pi Kappa Phi case was too afraid to do media interviews due to retribution.

We will:

• Protect your identity if needed
• Handle all communications with the fraternity, sorority, and university
• Fight back against intimidation with legal action if necessary
• Ensure you are safe while pursuing justice

What Counts as Hazing in Union County, Georgia?

Georgia law defines hazing as any intentional act that endangers the physical or mental health of a student for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership in a group.

Common Hazing Practices in Union County & Nearby Colleges

If your child experienced any of these, they were hazed—and they have legal rights.

Who Is Liable for Hazing in Union County?

When hazing happens, multiple parties can be held legally and financially responsible:

1. The Local Chapter (Fraternity/Sorority)

• Organized and conducted the hazing
• Leaders (President, Pledgemaster, Risk Manager) are personally liable
• Members who participated can be sued individually

2. The National Organization

• Failed to supervise the local chapter
• Knew about hazing risks (like Pi Kappa Phi, which had a prior death in 2017)
• Enabled a culture of abuse

3. The University/College

• Failed to protect students despite knowing hazing happens
• Owned or controlled the property where hazing occurred (premises liability)
• Ignored prior hazing incidents (like UH, which had a 2017 hazing hospitalization)
• Allowed Greek life to operate without oversight

4. Individual Members & Alumni

• Active participants in hazing
• Alumni who hosted hazing at their homes
• Officers who directed abuse

5. Insurance Companies

• National fraternities/sororities have multi-million-dollar insurance policies
• Universities have liability coverage
• Homeowner’s insurance may cover off-campus hazing

We sue ALL responsible parties to maximize compensation for Union County families.

Union County Hazing Lawyer: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I sue if my child consented to hazing?

YES. Georgia law states that consent is NOT a defense to hazing. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the fraternity, sorority, and university can still be held liable.

2. Can I sue if the hazing didn’t cause serious injury?

YES. Even if your child wasn’t hospitalized, they can still sue for:

• Emotional distress
• PTSD, anxiety, depression
• Humiliation and degradation
• Lost academic or career opportunities

3. Can I sue if the hazing happened off-campus?

YES. Hazing is illegal whether it happens on or off campus. If it occurred at a private home, the homeowner (and their insurance) may also be liable.

4. Can I sue if my child wasn’t a student yet?

YES. Our client in the Pi Kappa Phi case was a “ghost rush”—not even enrolled at UH. If your child was hazed before officially joining, they still have a case.

5. How much is my Union County hazing case worth?

Every case is different, but precedent cases show hazing lawsuits can recover millions:

• Stone Foltz (Ohio) – $10.1 million
• Maxwell Gruver (LSU) – $6.1 million jury verdict
• Timothy Piazza (Penn State) – $110+ million settlement
• Our current Pi Kappa Phi case – $10 million demand

We will fight for maximum compensation for your family.

6. How long do I have to file a hazing lawsuit in Georgia?

Georgia has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Do not wait—contact us immediately.

7. Will my child face retaliation for speaking out?

We protect our clients from retaliation by:

• Handling all communications with the fraternity/sorority/university
• Filing restraining orders if necessary
• Pursuing legal action against anyone who threatens or intimidates

8. How much does it cost to hire a hazing lawyer?

$0 upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, so there’s no financial risk to your family.
