Sexual abuse is something no one should ever endure. Unfortunately, this offensive behavior is part of many hazing rituals that fraternities, sports teams and social groups use to humiliate and initiate new members. These unspeakable acts frequently go unreported, or officials choose to turn a blind eye to groups that engage in illegal sexual abuse. This wanton negligence and disregard for the safety and well-being of students needs to be addressed according to state laws, school policies and in the nation’s civil courts. That’s where an experienced personal injury attorney can help protect your rights and fight for the monetary and punitive damages that you deserve.
Our compassionate and knowledgeable attorneys have helped others who have been harmed by hazing. We are experienced in this area of practice and are fully committed to handling cases that involve sexual abuse and assault. These are just a few forms of sexual assault that are related to hazing.
