🚨 Hazing Legal Emergency: Attorney 911 Fights for Wyandot County Families

If your child has been hazed at a college, university, or Greek organization near Wyandot County, Ohio — we can help.

Attorney 911 is currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. We know how to build these cases. We know how to win. And we will fight just as hard for Wyandot County families.

⚠️ The Hazing Crisis in Wyandot County

Hazing isn’t just happening in Texas. It’s happening right here near Wyandot County. The same national fraternities that waterboarded our client operate chapters at universities throughout Ohio. The same institutional failures that allowed a student to be hospitalized in Houston exist at Ohio institutions.

Wyandot County families: If your child attends college anywhere in Ohio — Ohio State, Miami University, University of Toledo, Bowling Green, Kent State, or any other school — they face the same risks.

What Hazing Looks Like Near Wyandot County

Our client was:

• Waterboarded with a garden hose — simulated drowning
• Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he couldn’t stand
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Forced to eat until vomiting — then forced to keep running
• Hospitalized with kidney failure from rhabdomyolysis

This isn’t “tradition.” This is torture. And it’s happening right here in Ohio.

🎓 Why Wyandot County Families Need Us

The Problem: Hazing in Ohio

Hazing is a systemic problem across Ohio colleges and universities. Recent incidents include:

• 2021: Stone Foltz died at Bowling Green State University (Pi Kappa Alpha) — $10.1 million settlement
• 2023: Multiple hazing incidents reported at Ohio State University
• 2024: University of Toledo suspends fraternity for hazing
• 2025: Miami University investigates multiple hazing complaints

The same fraternities involved in these incidents have chapters at universities near Wyandot County.

The Institutions Are Failing Ohio Students

Universities and national fraternities have the power to stop hazing. They choose not to.

At University of Houston, we’re suing because:

• The university owned the fraternity house where hazing occurred
• The fraternity had a prior hazing hospitalization at UH in 2017
• The national fraternity knew about a “hazing crisis” and did nothing
• They all failed to protect our client

The same failures exist at Ohio universities. If your child was hazed near Wyandot County, the institution likely failed to protect them too.

The Culture of Silence

Hazing victims near Wyandot County often don’t come forward because:

• They’re afraid of retaliation from the organization
• They don’t want to ruin their college experience
• They blame themselves for participating
• They don’t realize it’s illegal and actionable
• They don’t know they have legal rights

Wyandot County families: Your child is not to blame. The people who hurt them are. The institutions that allowed it are.

💰 What Wyandot County Hazing Victims Can Recover

Hazing cases can result in significant compensation for Ohio victims and their families:

Recent hazing settlements and verdicts:

• $10.1 million — Stone Foltz (Bowling Green State University)
• $6.1 million — Maxwell Gruver (Louisiana State University)
• $110+ million — Timothy Piazza (Penn State University)

Wyandot County families: These results are possible for Ohio victims too.

⚖️ Ohio Hazing Laws — Your Legal Rights

Ohio Revised Code § 2903.31 — Hazing

Definition:

“Hazing” means doing any act or coercing another, including the victim, to do any act of initiation into any student or other organization that causes or creates a substantial risk of causing mental or physical harm to any person.

Penalties:

• Misdemeanor of the 4th degree — up to 30 days in jail, $250 fine
• Misdemeanor of the 1st degree if serious physical harm — up to 6 months in jail, $1,000 fine

Consent is NOT a defense — Ohio law explicitly states that consent does not justify hazing.

Civil Liability for Ohio Hazing Victims

Ohio victims can sue for:

• Negligence — Failure to protect students
• Assault and Battery — Intentional harmful contact
• Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress — Outrageous conduct causing severe distress
• Premises Liability — If hazing occurred on university-owned property
• Wrongful Death — If hazing resulted in death

Wyandot County families: You have strong legal rights under Ohio law.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions for Wyandot County Families

Q: My child consented to participate. Can we still sue?

A: YES. 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.

Q: We’re worried about retaliation. How do you protect us?

A: We take retaliation concerns very seriously. We can:

• Send cease-and-desist letters to the organization
• File protective motions in court
• Connect you with resources for emotional support
• Our client in the UH case was fearful of retribution — we understand this fear and will protect you

Q: How much does it cost to hire Attorney 911?

A: $0 upfront. We take hazing cases on contingency — you only pay if we win. Our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict, so there’s no financial risk to you.

Q: How long will the case take?

A: Every case is different. Some settle within months; others take years. We work as quickly as possible while ensuring we get you maximum compensation.

Q: Do we have to go to court?

A: Most cases settle out of court. However, if the defendants won’t make a fair offer, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.

Q: What if the hazing happened off-campus?

A: Location doesn’t matter. Hazing is illegal whether it happens on campus, at a fraternity house, or at an off-campus location. We can still pursue the case.

Q: Can we sue if our child wasn’t physically injured?

A: YES. Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression) is compensable. Many hazing victims suffer severe emotional distress even without physical injuries.

Q: What if the hazing happened at a private university?

A: Private universities can be sued just like public universities. We pursue all liable institutions regardless of public/private status.

Q: Can we sue if our child was hazed in high school?

A: YES. Hazing occurs at all levels — high school, college, military academies. We represent victims of all ages.

Q: What if the fraternity is already suspended?

A: It doesn’t matter. The suspension doesn’t erase their liability. We can still pursue compensation from the organization, its insurance, and individual members.
