Case Details
Out-of-court settlements reached with over half of the defendants in federal lawsuits arising from the hazing death of a student at The Pennsylvania State University. The student died after falling down steps due to severe intoxication during a fraternity pledge party, and fraternity members failed to obtain medical care for 11 hours.
Additional Notes
Parents of the deceased student brought two lawsuits in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Claims included negligence, breach of duty of care, intentional infliction of emotional distress, battery, and conspiracy.
