"His feet hit the mat, and almost instantly his knees buckled down, and he just let out the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." That is Kaitlin "Kati" Hill, a mother whose warning to other parents was shared 240,000 times after her three-year-old son, Colton, suffered a broken femur at a trampoline park. As Colton's orthopedic surgeon later explained to her, the repetitive, high-velocity bouncing of a trampoline was never intended for the developing bones of a toddler. Kati’s words—"We had no idea"—are the same words we hear from families in Harker Heights and across Central Texas every time a fun Saturday afternoon at a place like Urban Air or Xtreme Jump turns into a nightmare of stretchers, surgery, and lifelong medical monitoring. At Attorney911, we have spent more than 25 years standing in the gap between families and the corporate conglomerates that treat child safety as an adjustable line item on a profit margin. Led by Ralph Manginello, our firm brings federal court experience and a history of taking on Fortune 500 giants like BP to the specialized field of trampoline injury litigation. We are not a volume personal injury firm that handles "slips…

"His feet hit the mat, and almost instantly his knees buckled down, and he just let out the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." That is how Kaitlin "Kati" Hill described the moment her three-year-old son, Colton, suffered a broken femur at a trampoline park. Her warning, shared over 240,000 times on social media, included five words that haunt every parent in the City of Belton whose family has been touched by this industry: "We had no idea." At Attorney911, led by founding partner Ralph Manginello with over 25 years of trial experience, we see the aftermath of that "no idea" every day. Since 1998, we have fought for families in the City of Belton and across Texas who were told their child’s injury was a "freak accident" or an "inherent risk." We know better. A shattered tibia on a Saturday afternoon at a park near I-35 or a traumatic brain injury in a Belton backyard is rarely an accident. It is the predictable output of a system that puts corporate margins ahead of pediatric safety. We are currently litigating a $10 million lawsuit against the University of Houston involving rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure—the…

If you are reading this in a waiting room near Bartlett or while sitting at your child’s bedside at Baylor Scott & White McLane Children’s Medical Center in Temple, you’ve likely just lived through every parent’s worst nightmare. Your child was airborne at a trampoline park—perhaps the Urban Air in Killeen or the massive 60,000 square foot Xtreme Jump in Temple—and in one-tenth of a second, their life changed. We have spent more than 25 years representing families who have seen their world shattered by catastrophic injuries. We have stood where you are standing. We have looked at the x-rays of a shattered pediatric femur and listened to orthopedic surgeons explain that a growth plate injury at age eight means a decade of surgeries to come. We know that right now, you aren't just dealing with a "broken bone." You are dealing with mounting medical bills, the fear of permanent disability, and a predatory insurance adjuster who is already calling you to offer a "friendly settlement" that wouldn't cover the cost of your child’s first follow-up surgery. At Attorney911, led by Ralph Manginello since 1998, we don't handle trampoline cases like a typical neighborhood law firm. We treat them like…

Village of Salado Mesothelioma, Asbestos & Toxic Exposure Attorneys: Attorney 911 Delivers 27+ Years Experience and BP Texas City Refinery Explosion Pedigree ($2.1B Case) Fighting Johns-Manville (Sumner Simpson Papers 1930s Concealment), 3M (Hid Bioaccumulation Data), and Monsanto (Ghostwritten EPA Studies); Former Insurance Defense Attorney Lupe Pena Exposes How Travelers, CNA, Hartford & AIG Historically Coded Asbestos Claims to Minimize Mesothelioma ($5M-$250M+), Benzene/AML ($500K-$50M+), and Roundup/NHL ($80M-$2.055B) Recoveries; Expert Navigation of $30B+ in 60+ Asbestos Trust Funds, PACT Act Burn Pit & PFAS Presumptions for Fort Cavazos Veterans, Camp Lejeune CLJA ($708M+ Paid), FELA Railroad & Silicosis Under 29 CFR 1926.1153; Invisible 0.1-10 Micrometer Fibers With 10-50 Year Latency; Texas Discovery Rule Starts 2-Year SOL at Diagnosis; Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, 1-888-ATTY-911, Hablamos Espanol

For Decades, the Companies Operating Near the Village of Salado and Bell County Kept a Lethal Secret—Now, We Help You Hold Them Accountable When you live and work in the Village of Salado, your identity is often tied to the strength and resilience of the Central Texas workforce. Whether you spent years maintaining equipment at the industrial parks in Belton, worked the heavy construction lines widening Interstate 35, or served your country at Fort Cavazos—formerly Fort Hood—you did the work that built this region. You did it with the expectation that if you followed the rules, your employer would follow them, too. You didn't know that every breath you took in a machine shop near Temple or every shift you spent handling specialized lubricants at a military installation was exposing you to invisible, microscopic killers. The cough that started months ago, the unexplained fatigue that makes a walk through the Salado Historic District feel like a marathon, and the devastating diagnosis of mesothelioma or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are not just "bad luck." They are often the delayed physical evidence of corporate negligence. Because the latency period for toxic exposure diseases can span 15 to 50 years, you are suffering…

Confronting the Legacy of Toxic Exposure in the Town of Rogers: Your Direct Path to Accountability and Compensation For decades, the hardworking families of the Town of Rogers and throughout Bell County have been the backbone of Central Texas. Whether you were raising crops in the blackland prairies, maintaining the heavy machinery that keeps the BNSF and Union Pacific lines running through the heart of our county, or commuting to the massive industrial and military hubs in nearby Temple and Killeen, you did your job with honor. You didn't know that the very dust you breathed in a Rogers equipment shed, the herbicides you handled on the farm, or the insulation you stripped in an old Central Texas building would one day betray your health. Today, if you or a loved one is facing a diagnosis like mesothelioma, acute myeloid leukemia, or Parkinson’s disease, it is not a "twist of fate." It is the result of corporate negligence, and at Attorney 911, we believe those who chose profits over Rogers workers' lives must be held accountable. We are Attorney 911, the litigation team led by Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña. For over 27 years, Ralph has fought back against the…

Town of Holland Toxic Exposure and Dangerous Industry Injury Advocacy: Holding Corporations Accountable for Central Texas Workers and Families You didn’t know. For twenty years, thirty years, or a full career spent building the infrastructure of Bell County, you went to work in Town of Holland, did your job, and came home to your family. Nobody told you the dust you breathed while maintaining equipment near State Highway 95, the chemicals you handled in Temple’s manufacturing corridor, or the insulation you cut in older Town of Holland buildings would one day manifest as a life-threatening diagnosis. Now you know that the "smell of industry" was actually the silent progression of cellular damage. Now you know that your cough, your fatigue, or your loved one’s shortness of breath isn't just a sign of aging in Town of Holland—it is the result of corporate decisions made in boardrooms thousands of miles away. Now you have rights, and at Attorney 911, we ensure those rights are enforced against the companies that treated Town of Holland workers as expendable. The moment a doctor in a Bell County medical facility says the word "mesothelioma," "leukemia," or "silicosis," your entire history in Town of Holland is…

Fort Cavazos Toxic Exposure and Dangerous Industry Injury Claims: A Guide to Military and Industrial Accountability For decades, the men and women who trained, worked, and lived at Fort Cavazos—historically known as Fort Hood—processed through a landscape of invisible hazards. From the asbestos-insulated barracks of the North Fort to the toxic firefighting foams used at the airfields and the heavy chemical solvents required for vehicle maintenance on the West Range, the cost of service often manifested years after the uniform was retired. In Bell County, the discovery of terminal illness like mesothelioma or aggressive blood cancers like leukemia is not just a medical crisis; it is a revelation of a systemic failure to protect those who dedicate their lives to national defense and the local industrial workforce. At Attorney 911, we recognize that the cough which began six months ago or the sudden shortness of breath while walking through a Harker Heights park isn't always a sign of aging. It is often the delayed biological clock of toxic exposure finally running out. For the veteran population residing in Killeen, Temple, and Copperas Cove, the realization that military service or a career in the Central Texas industrial sector caused a terminal…

Edgeworth Toxic Exposure and Dangerous Industry Injury Lawyers: Holding Corporations Accountable for Your Health You didn't know. For twenty years, thirty years, maybe longer—you went to work in Edgeworth, did your job, and came home to your family in Bell County. Nobody told you the dust you breathed at the construction sites near the I-35 corridor, the chemicals you handled in regional manufacturing plants, or the insulation you cut while stationed at nearby Fort Cavazos would one day try to kill you. Now you know. And now you have rights. There is a word for what happened to you. It is not bad luck. It is not genetics. It is not simply the result of aging or "drawing the short straw." It is exposure. Whether it was asbestos fibers lodging in your lungs during the renovation of older Edgeworth buildings or benzene vapors rewriting your blood chemistry at a Texas refinery, someone is responsible. At Attorney 911, led by Ralph Manginello and backed by former insurance defense insider Lupe Peña, we don't just "handle" cases—we wage war against the corporations that treated Edgeworth workers as expendable line items. We understand the retroactive betrayal you feel. You trusted your employer. You…

City of Troy Toxic Exposure and High-Risk Industrial Injury: Your Rights to Compensation For decades, you showed up to work in the City of Troy. You perhaps spent your career helping build the infrastructure along the Interstate 35 corridor, serving at Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood), or maintaining the rail lines that have moved through Bell County since the days of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad. You did your job, provided for your family, and trusted that the products you handled and the environment you worked in were safe. You didn't know that the dust you breathed at a Central Texas construction site, the water you drank during your service, or the chemicals you used at a regional manufacturing plant were silently rewriting your DNA. Now, a diagnosis has changed everything. Whether it is mesothelioma, acute myeloid leukemia, or a devastating injury from a workplace accident, you are realizing that your illness isn't just "bad luck." It is the result of corporate negligence. At Attorney 911, we know these stories because we have spent over 27 years fighting them. Ralph Manginello and his team don’t just represent clients; we hold billion-dollar corporations accountable for the lives they’ve disrupted in communities like the…

City of Temple Toxic Exposure and Dangerous Industry Injury Lawyers: Holding Corporations Accountable for Your Health For over a century, the City of Temple was built on the back of the railroad and heavy manufacturing. From the legacy of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway yards to the modern sprawling industrial complexes along I-35 and General Bruce Drive, the people of the City of Temple have always known the value of hard, dangerous work. But for decades, those same workers—the machinists in the rail shops, the laborers in the laminate plants, and the construction crews building out the Killeen-Temple-Belton corridor—were breathing in invisible killers. They were handling chemicals their employers knew were toxic, cutting insulation that was saturated with asbestos, and working on tracks where diesel exhaust and creosote rewrite the human genetic code at the molecular level. You may be reading this today because you or someone you love has received a devastating diagnosis. Maybe it is mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer with only one known cause: asbestos. Maybe it is acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after years of handling industrial solvents. Or perhaps it is a terminal lung disease after a career in the City of Temple’s…
