Common Claims Filed Against Greek Life Chapters
Greek life often gets a bad reputation for publicly acknowledged incidents, such as hazing, binge-drinking, or sexual assault, but a variety of incidents occur in Greek life situations across the United States all too often. From accidental falls to sexual assault cases to freak accidents that occur after the overindulgence of alcohol or other impairing substances, Greek life, and the lifestyle associated with it can pose many risks to members and nonmembers alike.
Common claims that arise against Greek life chapters include:
- Assault and Battery
- Sexual Assault
- Slip & Fall Accidents
- Falls from Heights
- Auto Accidents
- Hazing Incidents
When it comes to incidents that occur during Greek Life activities, the lines of fault are often blurry. Many times, Greek Life chapters are private from the associated university or college, limiting the protection that students may receive from campus police or security. When a nonmember faces personal injury at the fault of a fraternity or sorority, the situation may become further complicated. At the Law Office of D. Hardison Wood, we recognize that no two Greek Life-related incidents are the same and that a variety of factors can contribute to an accident.
