Phoenix Hazing Injury Attorneys


Did Somebody Harm You or Someone You Love in a Phoenix Hazing Incident?

Many people think hazing is just harmless fun. But there’s a dark side to hazing that leaves countless victims physically and emotionally battered every year. According to NBC News, 50 hazing related deaths have occurred at American universities since 2000.

No one should ever have to suffer degrading or destructive treatment at the hands of others. And it doesn’t matter if the victim voluntarily submits to hazing, it’s still illegal under Arizona Law.

People who commit hazing are often protected by large organizations and the insurance companies that represent them. If you or a loved one was harmed by hazing, you’ll want to have experienced Phoenix personal injury lawyers on your side who know how to take on powerful interests.

The Husband & Wife Law Team won’t back down from anybody. To learn more, call (602) 457-6222 today.

What Is Hazing?

Hazing is intentionally committed behavior that takes place in a group setting, causing humiliation, discomfort, endangerment, physical harm, or mental stress. Hazing often involves harassment, intimidation, or violence.

Hazing is frequently associated with college fraternities, but it can happen in any type of group setting. It is illegal and inappropriate no matter where it occurs. Hazing may take place in these organizations:

  • Fraternities
  • Sororities
  • Sports teams
  • The US military
  • Workplaces
  • Camps
  • Clubs
  • High schools
  • Middle schools

Examples of Hazing

People who defend hazing will often suggest that it’s a healthy activity and a normal part of the bonding process. But this couldn’t be farther from the truth, and there is no valid defense of hazing.

Some people argue that hazing is acceptable because it’s been going on for years. But there are all sorts of bad things people did in the past that we no longer do today.

Hazing involves morally degrading, unhealthy, violent, inhumane, and illegal treatment of others. Examples of hazing that have occurred at college fraternities and other types of organizations include:

  • Whipping, beating, and paddling
  • Verbal abuse
  • Torture
  • Physical assault
  • Manslaughter
  • Branding
  • Exposure to the elements
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Forced separation from others
  • Excessive fatigue
  • Kidnapping
  • Electric shocks
  • Rape
  • Sexual abuse
  • Sexually degrading behavior
  • Publicly wearing humiliating clothes
  • Forced calisthenics and other harsh physical activities
  • Forced consumption of drugs and alcohol
  • Forced consumption of dog food, foul-tasting food, and other disagreeable substances

Harm Caused by Hazing

When people don’t stand up to hazing and the damage it causes, the results can be devastating. But peer pressure and group psychology are powerful forces that are used to hide the true impact of hazing.

Hazing leaves emotional scars that may continue to traumatize victims for the rest of their lives. The physical and emotional effects of hazing include:
