2. Take Action Promptly.
-
Organizations and people involved in illegal activites such as hazing often destroy important evidence immediately after a hazing incident.
-
Prompt action is the key to breaking the Code of Silence. Organizations and people involved in illegal activiteis such as hazing often have a Code of Silence. They often hold meetings to make sure its members do not talk about the incident or do anything that may show the organization or its members have engaged in hazing.
-
These organizations and their insurance companies frequently hire attorneys and insurance adjusters as soon as an incident of hazing occurs that results in a death or serious injury or some other problem. These attorneys and adjusters are hired to protect the interests of the organization not the victims of hazing. If these organizations need an attorney, you need one too!
-
Failure to take prompt action could prevent you from pursuing all of your rights.
-
-
3. Do not give any recorded or written statements to attorneys, adjusters or other investigators without first seeking legal advice from YOUR attorney.
-
Remember, the organization hires attorneys, adjusters and other investigators who are trained and experienced in gathering information and evidence designed to protect the interests of the organization.
