Similar Claims Raised Against Other Telehealth Services
The lawsuit mirrors another case involving Mindbloom, a ketamine therapy provider sued in October by the father of a 27-year-old man who died after receiving the anesthetic despite hypertension and substance abuse history. That suit argues Mindbloom failed to screen or supervise patients adequately.
Hazing Allegations Against Theta Chi
The Tylers also say their son endured unlawful hazing by the fraternity, alleging he was forced to clean the house nearly daily, fight other pledges, drink an entire bottle of alcohol on “big-brother” night and lick syrup off the floor. Washington state law bans hazing.
Theta Chi said it had not been aware of the lawsuit. “The fraternity condemns all forms of hazing,” a spokesperson told Law360, declining further comment due to pending litigation.
Legal Teams and Responses
Hims did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Tylers are represented by Jonathon N. Fazzola, Jacob R. Goodman and Douglas E. Fierberg of The Fierberg National Law Group PLLC, along with Rebecca J. Roe, Sims G. Weymuller and Sergio A. Garcidueñas-Sease of Schroeter Goldmark & Bender.
Counsel for other defendants was not available Monday.
