Hazing Injury Attorneys in Rochester

Standing Up for Injured Students and Their Families

Eager to take part in the full college experience, some students may decide to join a fraternity or sorority. In some cases, being initiated into one of these Greek-letter clubs might require that the student perform or participate in certain rituals or challenges. Although these hazing activities may be part of a tradition and seem harmless, they could result in serious injury or death of the student. When fraternities, sororities, or even university officials turn a blind eye to the dangerous actions of the groups, they could be held financially liable for damages.

If you or a loved one was subjected to hazing and suffered injury or death, you might be entitled to pursue a claim against the responsible party. For legal help initiating civil action, call King Law. The firm has extensive experience handling these types of cases and knows how to develop effective legal strategies and work toward obtaining just compensation.

Hazing rituals take various forms, including:
