Imagine a Saturday afternoon in the City of Corpus Christi. The salt air from the bay is thick, and families are looking for a way to get out of the South Texas heat. You head down to the Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park on South Staples Street or perhaps Jumping World over in Flour Bluff. You pay the admission fee, sign the iPad waiver because the line is long and your kids are excited, and watch them head out onto the courts. What you envision is a few hours of exercise and laughter. What the corporate parent companies of these facilities—conglomerates like Sky Zone, Inc., parent of DEFY and Rockin’ Jump, or Unleashed Brands, the parent of Urban Air—envision is a high-volume revenue stream. Somewhere in between those two visions is the reality of the trauma bay. One bad bounce later, your child is on the mat. You hear what Kati Hill described to ABC News as "the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." In an instant, you aren't a parent at a birthday party anymore. You are the parent of a child with a shattered femur, a damaged growth plate, or a cervical spine injury. What you do in the next 72 hours in the City of Corpus Christi will determine whether your child has the resources for a lifetime of recovery or if your family is left holding the bill for a business decision made by a private equity firm in a…

Trampoline Injury Justice in the City of Bishop: The Complete Legal Guide for Families One second, your child was at the apex of a jump, laughing in the neon lights of a weekend "Glow Night." The next second, there was a sound you will never forget—a sharp, sickening snap—followed by what Texas mother Kati Hill described to ABC News as "the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." If you are reading this from a hospital room at Driscoll Children’s Hospital or a pediatric trauma ward near the City of Bishop, the weight of what comes next feels overwhelming. You were likely handed a clipboard or an iPad at the front desk of a park like Urban Air or Jumping World in nearby Corpus Christi. You signed a waiver because the line was long and your kids were excited. Now, the park’s insurance adjuster is calling with a "friendly check-in," subtly suggesting that because you signed that digital form, you have no right to seek accountability. They are wrong. Our firm, lead by Ralph Manginello with over 25 years of courtroom experience, has built a dedicated practice to prove exactly why those waivers are often no more than a paper shield. In Harris County, Texas, a jury awarded $11.485 million against the operator of Cosmic Jump after a teenager fell through a torn trampoline mat onto concrete. The waiver was signed. The jury found gross negligence anyway. We represent families in the City of Bishop and…

"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." Those are the words of Kaitlin "Kati" Hill, a mother who watched her three-year-old son Colton suffer a broken femur at a trampoline park. Her story, shared hundreds of thousands of times, echoes the silent nightmare currently unfolding for families across the Coastal Bend. In Aransas Pass, the backyard trampoline and the commercial jump park are staples of childhood, but they are also the primary sources of life-altering pediatric trauma. At Attorney911, we have spent more than 25 years standing at the bedside of families whose lives changed in a single bounce. Founded in 1998 by Ralph Manginello, our firm was built on the principle that catastrophic injuries are not just "accidents"—they are the predictable outcomes of business decisions made by multi-million dollar corporations that chose margin over your child’s safety. Whether your child was injured at an Urban Air location in the Corpus Christi metro area or on a weather-worn backyard trampoline in an Aransas Pass neighborhood, we know the physics of the impact, the biology of the injury, and the corporate architecture designed to shield the negligent parties from accountability. We are not just a personal injury firm; we are a dedicated trampoline injury practice that brings federal-court experience and a deep understanding of industry safety standards to every case we handle.

"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 describing the exact second her three-year-old son Colton’s life was altered at a trampoline park. Her warning, shared hundreds of thousands of times across the country, is the anthem of every parent who has ever whispered the words, "We had no idea." Most families in the City of Agua Dulce travel to parks like Urban Air on Staples Street or Jumping World in Corpus Christi expecting a safe environment for a birthday party or a Saturday afternoon of play. Instead, they find themselves in a trauma bay at Driscoll Children's Hospital, watching a surgeon explain what happens when a growth plate is destroyed at age seven. At Attorney911, let us be clear: a trampoline injury in the City of Agua Dulce is never an "accident." It is the predictable output of a system. When that system fails, we don't just "handle personal injury cases." We lead a dedicated trampoline injury practice built on over 25 years of trial experience. Our founder, Ralph Manginello, has spent over two decades holding Fortune 500 giants like BP and Walmart accountable. Our team includes Lupe Peña, an attorney who used to sit on the other side of the table defending insurance companies and recreational businesses. He knows exactly how these parks draft their waivers—and he knows exactly where those waivers…

Our firm holds corporate parents like Palladium Equity and Unleashed Brands accountable for pediatric TBI, SCIWORA spinal cord trauma, Salter-Harris growth plate fractures, and rhabdomyolysis at Altitude, DEFY, and Launch facilities across Aransas Pass.

In the Coastal Bend of Texas, from the neighborhoods in Aransas Pass to the busy weekend traffic heading toward the entertainment hubs of Corpus Christi, families trust that a Saturday afternoon at a trampoline park will end with happy memories and tired children. But for too many parents in Aransas Pass, that afternoon ends in a trauma bay at Driscoll Children’s Hospital. We have spent more than 25 years watching the commercial trampoline industry expand across Texas. We have seen these parks marketed as "safe family fun" while our local children arrive at emergency rooms with injuries that look like they belonged in a high-speed car wreck on Highway 35. One bounce. One bad landing. One life changed forever. As Kaitlin "Kati" Hill told ABC News after her three-year-old son Colton suffered a broken femur in a body cast: "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." At Attorney911, we know that scream. We represent the families who were told "we had no idea" by the park staff, only to discover that the industry has known about these dangers for decades. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, brings over two decades of trial experience and admission to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas to every case. We don't just handle personal injury; we dismantlecorporate defense shields. Whether your child was injured at an Urban Air, a…

The Complete Town of Woodloch Parent’s Guide to Trampoline Park Injuries A Saturday afternoon for a family in Town of Woodloch often means a short drive down I-45 to the massive adventure hubs in The Woodlands or Spring. You load the kids into the SUV, cross the San Jacinto River, and pull into the parking lot of a Sky Zone, Urban Air, or Altitude Trampoline Park. You walk through the doors, a wall of music and air conditioning hits you, and you are immediately directed to an iPad kiosk. You scroll, you click "I agree" because there is a line behind you, you pay the admission fee, and you hand your child a pair of neon-colored grip socks. Twenty minutes later, your life changes forever. What follows is usually a sequence of events the parks have practiced: a sudden hush on the court, a whistle from a teenage monitor, and then the sound that Texas mother Kaitlin "Kati" Hill described as "the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." Her son, Colton, was only three years old when his femur was snapped during a "Toddler Time" session. Like so many families in Town of Woodloch and across Montgomery County, Kati Hill said afterward: "We had no idea. We would have never put our baby boy on a trampoline if we would have known." We are The Manginello Law Firm—Attorney911. We represent families who have been forced to trade a Saturday of fun for a decade of…

In Harris County, Texas—just a few miles down the road from the Town of Stagecoach—a jury awarded $11.485 million against the operator of Cosmic Jump after a 16-year-old boy named Max fell through a torn trampoline slide. He didn't land on a safety net or a padded surface; he fell through a hole in the fabric and struck a concrete floor five feet below. He suffered a skull fracture and a traumatic brain injury with intracranial hemorrhage. The park pointed to the waiver his parents had signed at the kiosk. The jury looked at the evidence of a torn mat the park knew about and failed to fix. They found gross negligence despite the waiver and awarded $6 million in punitive damages. It remains the largest reported jury verdict against a U.S. commercial trampoline park, and it happened right here in our backyard. We understand the trauma your family is experiencing because we have spent more than 25 years standing at the bedsides of catastrophic injury victims. When your eight-year-old comes off a trampoline court at an Urban Air or Sky Zone near the Town of Stagecoach with a shattered tibia, and the park manager hands you a clipboard instead of calling 911, you don't need a lawyer who "handles personal injury." You need an attorney who can quote ASTM F2970 Section 10 from memory and who knows exactly how many attendants should have been watching that court. That is what Ralph Manginello and our team bring to every case.…

"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." For any parent who has heard that sound, the world stops. That was Kati Hill, the mother of three-year-old Colton, describing to ABC News the moment her son’s femur snapped at a trampoline park during a "Toddler Time" session. It’s a nightmare we’ve seen repeated across North America, but for families in the Town of Roman Forest, it's a risk that sits just a short drive down the I-69 corridor. One bounce. One bad landing. One broken neck. That is the reality behind the bright neon lights and loud music of the modern family entertainment center. If your child was hurt at a trampoline park serving the Town of Roman Forest area, or if a defective backyard trampoline failed in your own neighborhood, you aren't looking for a "general practitioner." You need an attorney who has spent 25 years making multi-billion-dollar corporations like BP pay, and who knows that your child’s injury wasn’t an accident—it was a business decision made by a private equity-backed conglomerate. At Attorney911, led by Ralph Manginello, we don't just handle these cases; we dismantle the defense's playbook. With our associate attorney Lupe Peña, who used to defend these very same recreational facilities, we know exactly which holes exist in that electronic waiver you signed at the kiosk.

"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." Those are the words of Kaitlin "Kati" Hill, a mother who watched her three-year-old son, Colton, break his femur during a toddler jump session. Her warning has been shared 240,000 times on social media. For families in the City of Woodbranch, that scream is a terrifying reality that plays out in hospital trauma bays across Montgomery County every weekend. One bounce. One bad landing. One broken neck. That is all it takes at a commercial trampoline park. If your child was injured at a facility near the City of Woodbranch, you are likely standing at a bedside in a facility like Texas Children’s Hospital in The Woodlands or the Texas Medical Center, listening to a surgeon explain why a growth plate injury at age seven could mean a decade of surgeries. You are likely feeling a crushing sense of guilt for signing a waiver at a kiosk. We are here to tell you two things: It is not your fault. And that waiver is not the wall the insurance company wants you to believe it is. We are Attorney911. Our founder, Ralph Manginello, has spent more than 25 years holding Fortune 500 corporations accountable in catastrophic injury cases. We have gone head-to-head with companies like BP after the Texas City refinery explosion—multinational conglomerates with armies of lawyers. The parent companies and…

"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, describing to ABC News the moment her three-year-old son, Colton, suffered a broken femur at a trampoline park. Like so many families in Willis and throughout Montgomery County, Kati and her husband had no idea. They had signed the waiver at the kiosk, believing that "Toddler Time" meant the facility had been engineered for the safety of a small child. They were wrong. What happened to Colton is part of a devastating national pattern. Every year, over 300,000 trampoline-related emergency room visits occur in the United States, and the vast majority involve children. In Willis, where families frequently travel south on I-45 to reach major trampoline parks in The Woodlands, Shenandoah, and Spring, the risk is a weekend reality. Whether your child was injured at a national chain like Urban Air, Sky Zone, or Altitude, or sustained a life-altering injury on a backyard Jumpking or Skywalker trampoline, we understand the terror of the moment the jumping stopped. We are Attorney911, The Manginello Law Firm. Led by Ralph Manginello, who brings over 25 years of courtroom experience and federal court admission to every case, we represent families whose lives have been upended by these preventable "business decisions" that the industry calls accidents. We don't see a "freak occurrence" when a child leaves a park in Willis on…
