University Park, Pennsylvania Fraternity Hazing Death: The Civil Liability Framework for Hazing Wrongful Death If you are reading this because your child was hospitalized after a fraternity event — or because someone you love did not come home from one — you are in a moment where the ground has dropped out from under you. The phone call, the hospital waiting room, the police officer at your door: those moments do not feel like the beginning of a legal process. They feel like the end of a life. But the law has something to say about what happened, and what it says matters. We are writing this page because a case in University Park, Pennsylvania — the 2017 hazing death of 19-year-old Penn State sophomore Timothy Piazza at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity — just reached the end of its criminal proceedings. Two former fraternity leaders, the chapter president and vice president, were sentenced to two to four months in prison with work release, three years of probation, and community service. They had pleaded guilty to 14 counts of hazing and one count of reckless endangerment. They were the last criminal defendants sentenced in a case that changed Pennsylvania law.…

Baton Rouge Fraternity Hazing Wrongful Death — What Louisiana Law Allows, What the Evidence Shows, and Why the Clock Is Already Running If you are reading this page, someone you love is gone. Maybe it was days ago and the grief is still a physical weight in your chest. Maybe it has been weeks and the shock has hardened into something worse — the slow, grinding realization that the people who killed your child are still walking around, still free, still telling themselves stories about what happened. You came here because you heard about what happened at Southern University — a 20-year-old junior, a mechanical engineering student, a trumpet player in the Human Jukebox marching band — dropped off at a hospital unresponsive at midnight, with a group of young men claiming he collapsed playing basketball. You heard that the police chief said it was a lie. That he died because he was punched in the chest, over and over, inside a warehouse, while pledging a fraternity. That no one called 911. We are Attorney911. We are a trial firm that takes fraternity hazing wrongful death cases — and right now, we are the only firm in the country actively…

When a Hazing Ritual Becomes a Death Sentence: Your Family’s Rights in Louisiana You are reading this because someone you love is gone. Not from a disease they couldn’t fight, not from an accident nobody could prevent — from a ritual. A ritual that young men designed, organized, and ran in a room in Baton Rouge, where they put boxing gloves on their hands and punched your son in the chest until his heart stopped. And then, when he fell, not one of them picked up a phone. They watched. They waited. And when they finally carried him to a hospital, they lied about what happened and walked out the door before anyone could ask them the truth. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are a trial firm that takes Louisiana cases, and we know what hazing does to families because we are living it right now in another case. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, is lead counsel in an active $10 million hazing lawsuit against a fraternity at a major university. We know the culture. We know the cover-ups.

Youngstown School Hazing Lawsuit: Sexual Assault, CSAM, and Institutional Accountability Under Ohio Law If your child was on that football trip — if you are reading this at 2 a.m. because your son told you what happened to him in a hotel room in Florida or Alabama or Tennessee, and a coach called it “boys being boys” — you are in the right place. What happened to your child was not hazing. It was not a tradition. It was not a rite of passage. It was criminal sexual assault, it was kidnapping, and the recording and sharing of it on Snapchat was the production and dissemination of child sexual abuse material under federal law. The fact that adults who were paid to supervise your child knew about it and failed to stop it — and then dismissed your report with five words that will follow them into a courtroom — is what turns this from a tragedy into a case. We are Attorney911. We handle hazing and institutional sexual abuse cases, and we are currently lead counsel in an active $10 million hazing lawsuit against a fraternity and a major university. That case, like this one, involves a young person…

Youngstown, Ohio School Hazing & Sexual Assault: Title IX, Institutional Liability, and Your Family’s Rights If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because your child came home from a school trip changed — quieter, frightened, angry in ways that do not match the kid you put on that bus — you are in the right place. What happened to your child is not his fault. What the adults around him did with that information is something the law takes seriously. And the fact that you are here, searching, means the failure that started on that trip is about to meet someone who will not let it continue. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC.

Ohio School Hazing & Sexual Assault: What the Law Says When the Adults Who Were Supposed to Protect Your Child Did Nothing You are reading this at a time you never planned for. Something happened to your child at a school you trusted — a school you may have chosen specifically because you believed it would keep him safe. Now there is a lawsuit on the public record, and the details in it are the kind no parent is ever ready to read. A student was hazed. Physically assaulted. Sexually assaulted. And someone recorded it and sent it to other people. The lawsuit says the adults at the school — the principal, the assistant principal, the head football coach, the assistant coaches — learned what happened and did not do what they were supposed to do. The Friday night game got cancelled. The season stopped. And your family is sitting in the middle of something that should never have happened in the first place. We are going to tell you what the law actually says about this — in Ohio, in plain language, without legal jargon designed to make you feel like you need a translator to understand your own…

Ursuline High School Hazing Lawsuit: Your Child’s Legal Rights After School Sexual Assault If your child came home from a school sports trip and told you something happened — something that made you sick to your stomach, something you can barely say out loud — you are in the right place. What you do in the next few weeks may matter more than anything that has happened so far, and most of it is about evidence that is disappearing right now. A federal lawsuit filed by a former freshman football player at Ursuline High School in Youngstown, Ohio, alleges that during a nine-day football team trip in June, the student was subjected to a hazing “initiation” that included being attacked, assaulted, and stripped by several teammates. The abuse was filmed and posted to the team’s group Snapchat account. The complaint accuses the school and its coaching staff of negligent hiring, supervision, training, and retention — of knowing about a hazing culture and doing nothing to stop it — and further alleges cover-up and intimidation. The student, described by his family’s attorney as a sexual assault survivor experiencing significant trauma, has transferred to another school. We are not the lawyers on…

Baton Rouge Hazing Wrongful Death: Who Can Be Held Accountable Under Louisiana Law If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because your child did not come home from a fraternity ritual — or because you are watching a family grieve a pledging death that should never have happened — you are in the hardest moment a parent can face. We are going to tell you exactly what Louisiana law allows, who can be held responsible, and what is disappearing from the evidence while you read this page. You have one year under Louisiana law to file a delictual claim. That clock started the day your child died. But the proof that wins the case — the warehouse surveillance, the text messages between fraternity members, the social media posts that show what happened before and after — that proof is dying faster than the clock, and nobody is preserving it for you unless someone sends the letter that freezes it. Louisiana wrote its anti-hazing law — the Max Gruver Act — after a freshman died at LSU in 2017. That statute criminalized the exact conduct that killed your child, and it also sets the civil standard of care in a…

Youngstown School Hazing Lawsuit: Sexual Abuse, Child Pornography, and the Institution That Knew If your child was sexually abused, physically assaulted, or exploited on a school-sanctioned trip — and the adults who were supposed to protect him did nothing, or worse, covered it up — you are living inside something no parent should have to survive. You are reading this at a hour when the house is quiet and the anger and the grief are the loudest things in the room. We are going to tell you exactly what the law says, what the school is doing right now to slow this down, and what evidence is dying while they do it. A federal lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, before Judge Benita Pearson, alleges that during a June 2025 Ursuline High School football team trip, multiple student-defendants committed hazing, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and the production and distribution of child pornography against a minor identified in court documents as Son Doe. The complaint names the school, the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown, the principal, the assistant principal, three football coaches, and eleven students — and it alleges that high-ranking school officials knew…
