Your Child Went to a Party in Bath Township. By Morning, He Was Gone. We are speaking to you, the family. The parent who got a call in the middle of the night. The sibling who found out from a text thread. The grandparent who drove to the hospital and waited in a waiting room that was not designed to hold this kind of silence. A teenager is dead. Eight others were wounded. The event was a large-scale party held at a mansion in Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio, in November 2025. The mansion was being operated as a short-term rental — the kind of “Airbnb” or “vacation rental” property that local zoning was written to keep out of residential neighborhoods for exactly the kind of reason that played out on that night. The property owner and the rental operator profited from the booking. The event promoter (or promoters) profited from the party. Security personnel were either absent, understaffed, or grossly inadequate. And an armed individual gained access to a venue where young people had been gathered with no real safety plan, and where the path to the front door was as wide open as the cash register on the…

Travelodge Hotel Sexual Assault Lawsuit: Attorney911 Holds Budget Hotel Chains Accountable for Negligent Key-Card Security That Enabled Unauthorized Room Access & Violent Assault — Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues Trauma, We Preserve the Key-Card Audit Logs and CCTV Footage Before the Overwrite, Severe Psychological Trauma & Sexual Assault Injuries, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Victims of Premises Liability — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

A Woman Checked Into a Travelodge Alone. The Front Desk Handed Her Attacker the Key to Her Room. A solo female guest booked a room at a Travelodge in the United Kingdom for the night. She was alone in her room when a man — not registered to the booking, not present at check-in — walked to the front desk and told staff he was her boyfriend and that he needed a replacement key card. Staff did not verify his identity. They did not call her room. They did not confirm anything. They handed him the key. He walked to her room. He sexually assaulted her. The perpetrator, Kyran Smith, was later sentenced to seven and a half years in prison. That is his sentence. It is not hers. It is not her family’s. It is the criminal court’s reckoning with one man. But the criminal case is not the whole story — and it was never going to be. The survivor’s civil case against the hotel is the other half, and it is the half the hotel did everything it could to keep quiet. Travelodge’s first response to the assault was to offer the survivor a £30 voucher —…

You Checked In. You Locked the Door. Someone Else Had the Key. If you were sexually assaulted in a Des Moines hotel room after a stranger was handed your room key without anyone checking an ID, you already know what no brochure will tell you. The lock on the door meant nothing. The safety bolt meant nothing. The trust you placed in a name on the building meant nothing. What you lived through, and what you have carried since, is the harm the hotel was paid to prevent. We built this page for one person: the survivor or the family member reading at 2 a.m. with shaking hands, looking for someone in Iowa who will tell the truth about what happened, what the law actually does, and what comes next. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle premises-liability and sexual-assault civil claims in Iowa. Below we walk you through the entire case, the law, the defendants, the proof, and the clock — in plain English, with the legal seams dissolved. Nothing here is a sales pitch. It is a map of the road in front of you, written by trial lawyers who have walked it. If…

A Father’s Phone Rang at 12:30 a.m. and Never Stopped Ringing It was the first weekend of November. Your son, or your daughter’s friend, or the kid you said goodnight to on Friday, was at a birthday party at a house in Bath Township — one of those Summit County streets where the lots are wide, the trees are old, and the houses have always been homes, not venues. By the time the gunfire stopped, an 18-year-old was dead, shot eight times. Nine others, most of them teenagers, were wounded. Thirteen different 911 calls came in that night. The dispatchers heard the same word over and over: shooting. And a voice on one of those recordings, as the township’s police chief later confirmed, simply said: “blood everywhere.” If you are reading this in the days, weeks, or months after that night, you are not here for a news summary. You are here because the person you raised, or loved, or simply cannot stop thinking about, was taken from you in a way the law is designed to address — and the people who profited from the house where it happened are not facing anything yet. We built this page for…

When an Officer Goes to Help and Doesn’t Come Home We represent the family of a 25-year-old Gwinnett County police officer who was shot and killed in the line of duty, and the family of the second officer who was seriously wounded. We also stand ready to help the wounded officer and his family in the days, months, and years ahead. If you are reading this because a loved one in a badge was lost or hurt at a hotel on February 1, 2026, we want you to know what the law actually allows you to do, what the hotel that hosted the encounter is already doing, and how quickly the proof in this case starts to disappear. On the morning of February 1, 2026, Gwinnett County Police Officer Pradeep Tamang, age 25, and a fellow officer responded to a report that someone had used a fraudulent credit card at a hotel near Stone Mountain, about 25 miles northeast of Atlanta. The front desk clerk directed the two officers to the specific room of the person suspected of the fraud. The suspect invited the officers into the room. The encounter became a shootout. Officer Tamang was fatally wounded. The second…

The Family of Deputy Derrick Bonham Deserves the Full Truth About What Happened in Martin Nicole, on the morning of January 30, 2026, your husband Derrick answered a call for help. He did what deputies do. He drove to the Days Inn on University Street in Martin, Tennessee, because someone reported shots fired there. Within minutes of arriving, while he and other officers were working the scene, a man in a vehicle at a nearby gas station opened fire. Derrick was struck. He was taken to Volunteer Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was 36 years old. You have been married for nine years. You have three young children who will grow up without their father. The man accused of killing him is in custody on a charge of first-degree murder. We are sorry.

West Dallas Short-Term Rental Shooting Lawsuit: Attorney911 Holds Property Owners & Platforms Liable for Negligent Security After Vilbig Road Party Massacre Left 3 Dead & 1 Seriously Injured — Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How STR Claims Are Denied, We Preserve Neighborhood Ring Footage & Social Media Evidence Before It’s Deleted, Texas Wrongful Death Act & Premises Liability for Foreseeable Violence in High-Crime Areas — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

What Happened at the Vilbig Road Rental, and What Comes Next If your loved one was killed or hurt in the shooting at the Vilbig Road short-term rental in West Dallas on May 26, 2026, you do not need us to explain how the last week has felt. You have already lived through the police at the door, the hours of silence from the property manager, the news trucks outside the house, the funeral director who wanted decisions before you had them, and the first text from an insurance number you did not ask for. The civil justice system cannot bring your person back. What it can do is hold the right people accountable, force the truth out of the records they would rather you never saw, and put real money in front of the people your family still has to support. We work for that outcome. The page below explains, in plain English, what Texas law actually gives you, who can be held responsible for what happened inside that rental, what evidence disappears if no one moves to save it this week, and what the insurance companies and their lawyers will try in the days and weeks ahead. The…

D’Vontaye Mitchell’s Fatal Restraint at Milwaukee Hyatt Regency: Attorney911 Holds Hotel Management Firms Accountable for Security Staff’s Excessive Force, Restraint Asphyxia, and Failure to Train on Positional Hazards — Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How Corporate Claims Teams Minimize Wrongful Death Cases, We Preserve Security Footage and Staff Training Records Before They Are Altered, Wisconsin’s Wrongful Death Act Allows Recovery for Loss of Society and Pecuniary Damages — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Your Family Member Died After Hotel Workers Pinned Him to the Ground. Here Is What You Need to Know Right Now. If your loved one was restrained by hotel workers, security guards, bouncers, police, or anyone else and never walked away, you are reading this at 2 a.m. because someone just told you what happened, or because the funeral ended and the questions have started. You need straight answers about who pays, how long you have to act, and what evidence is already disappearing. That is what this page exists to give you. On June 30, 2024, D’Vontaye Mitchell died outside the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee after four hotel workers, including security guards, a front desk agent, and a bellman, physically restrained him outside the building. Security footage captured what happened. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide caused by restraint asphyxia, with toxic effects of cocaine and methamphetamine listed as contributing factors. Four workers, Todd Alan Erickson, Devin W. Johnson-Carson, Herbert T. Williamson, and Brandon Ladaniel Turner, were each charged with felony murder. A Milwaukee County Court Commissioner found probable cause on August 25, 2025, and bound all four over for trial. The family later reached a…

When a Hotel Holds Your Loved One Down Until He Stops Breathing: A Family’s First Hours and the Law That Protects Them You are reading this at a kitchen table, or a bedside, or in a parked car where you finally have ten quiet minutes. Your brother, your uncle, your son, your husband, your cousin — D’Vontaye Mitchell, 43 years old, the kind of man whose family called him by a name that meant something to them — died on June 30, 2024, in the driveway of the Hyatt Regency in downtown Milwaukee, pinned face-down on asphalt by people who worked for a hotel, while he apologized and gasped for air. He was not a criminal. He was a man in crisis. The medical examiner ruled it homicide. Four men have been charged with felony murder. You have read the news. You have read it again. You have searched the headlines for a name and a story that would make sense, and the story does not make sense, because the story is that a hotel held a man down for eight or nine minutes until he died and the only legal word for that in Wisconsin is wrongful death. We…

Fort Lauderdale Airbnb Rape Lawsuit: Attorney911 Holds the Short-Term Rental Platform Liable for Negligent Security After Cleaner Was Zip-Tied, Assaulted at Knife-Point in a Property With Two Prior Break-Ins — Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues Sexual Assault Cases, We Preserve the Prior-Incident Police Reports and Security Footage Before They Are Overwritten, Florida’s Premises Liability Doctrine on Foreseeability and Failure to Warn, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Catastrophic Injury Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

We Are Here Because You Are Still Living With What Happened to You You were doing your job. You showed up to clean a home in Fort Lauderdale on the morning of August 28, 2024, the way you had shown up dozens, maybe hundreds of times before. You let yourself in. You set down your supplies. And then a man you had never seen before forced his way in, flashed a knife, threw you to the ground, and zip-tied you before he raped you. We are not going to tell you that what happened to you is something to “get past” or “move forward from.” We are not going to use the language of self-help books. We are going to tell you what the law actually says about what was done to you, and what it obligates the people responsible to do about it. This page is about the case that has been filed against Airbnb and the property owner, and about the law of negligent security in Florida that makes those defendants answerable for what happened to you. It is also about the evidence, the deadlines, and the people who are about to contact you with friendly-sounding offers to…
