Hobe Sound, Martin County: Two Teenagers Dead, a 13-Year-Old Fighting — What Your Family Needs to Know Right Now If you are reading this at 2 a.m. from a kitchen table in Hobe Sound or Jupiter or anywhere on the Treasure Coast, you already know what the facts are. A 17-year-old boy from Martin County High School and a 16-year-old girl from Jupiter were pronounced dead at the scene of a two-vehicle crash near Bridge Road and Interstate 95 sometime around 10 p.m. on Friday, January 2, 2026. A 13-year-old passenger was taken by ground ambulance to St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach with serious injuries. The driver of the other vehicle walked away with minor injuries. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office responded, and the Florida Highway Patrol is investigating. What you may not know is what happens next — not in the investigation, but in the fight for your family.

Martin County, Florida DUI Wrongful Death: What the Criminal Conviction Means for Your Family’s Civil Case If you are reading this, you have already been through the criminal process. You sat in a courtroom in Martin County and watched the person who drove drunk and killed your husband, your wife, your father, your partner get sentenced. You may have stood up and spoken — and if you did, you showed more courage than most people will ever summon in a lifetime. The sentencing hearing closed one chapter. But the civil system is a completely separate fight, and nobody in the criminal courtroom told you what comes next. We are Attorney911. We handle wrongful death claims and DUI fatality cases. What we do in a case like this is different from what the criminal prosecutor did. The prosecutor’s job was to prove the driver was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and ask the judge for a sentence. Our job is to find every dollar that can make your family whole — and the first thing you need to understand is that those are two different jobs with two different deadlines, two different standards of proof, and two different targets. The single…

Pasco County Nursing Home Freezer Death: When One Person Watches 48 Residents and a Navy Veteran Freezes to Death You are reading this because someone you love is in a care facility in Florida, and you just learned what happened to an 83-year-old Navy veteran in Pasco County — a man with dementia who walked out of his room at half past midnight, unsupervised, through an unlocked kitchen, into a walk-in freezer, and died there over four hours while a single staff member covered an entire building of 48 residents. His family found out he was missing not because the facility called them — but because they checked a home camera themselves and saw his empty room. By the time staff searched, he was barely conscious. His core body temperature was 66 degrees. He died at the hospital. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We take wrongful death and catastrophic-injury cases in Florida, and what happened at The Waverly Assisted Living and Memory Care in Pasco County is not a freak accident. It is the foreseeable, preventable product of a facility that accepted a memory care resident, charged for specialized supervision, and then left 48 vulnerable people in…

When You Trusted a Memory Care Facility with Your Father’s Safety You are reading this at a kitchen table at 2 a.m. with a folder of paperwork from a facility that was supposed to keep your father safe. Maybe your father is still there. Maybe you buried him last week. Maybe you are Kristen Spencer, and you installed a camera in your dad’s room because something about the place didn’t feel right — and the camera showed you he got out of bed at 12:30 in the morning, walked out of his room, and nobody came. Nobody checked. Nobody sounded an alarm. And by the time you called the facility in a panic the next morning, it was already too late. He was in the freezer. We are Attorney911. We are a trial firm that takes Florida cases, and we build them the way a family needs them built — from the evidence outward, not from the headline inward.

When Your Mother Falls From Her Bed at a Care Facility and Doesn’t Survive The phone rings at two in the morning, or maybe it comes in the first light after — a call from a facility you trusted, the kind of call that splits a family’s life into before and after. They tell you she fell from her bed. They tell you she hit her head. They tell you she is gone. And in the same breath, or in the silence that follows, you hear the word “accident” — as though a woman who was in a care facility precisely because she needed watching simply slipped, and no one is to blame, and there is nothing to ask. We need you to hear something different. A fall from a bed inside a facility that is legally responsible for assessing fall risk, implementing fall precautions, and staffing the overnight hours adequately is not the same as a fall at home. The law does not treat it that way. Federal regulations do not treat it that way. And the difference between “a tragic accident” and “a preventable death that someone is accountable for” is measured in documents that the facility controls…

Jacksonville Nursing Home Neglect: When a Facility Lets a Resident Rot — and the State Confirms It Was Neglect You are reading this because someone you trusted a nursing home with is gone, and the way they died does not sit right. Maybe you smelled something in that room before anyone told you what it meant. Maybe you got a phone call about an amputation that seemed to come from nowhere. Maybe you buried your father and only later learned the word “gangrene” was on the death certificate. Whatever brought you here, you already know more than the facility wanted you to know — and less than you need to. We are Attorney911. We handle nursing home neglect and wrongful death cases in Florida, and we are writing this for one person: the family member standing in a kitchen in Jacksonville at 2 a.m., holding a death certificate that says “gangrene” and remembering that the hallway outside his room smelled like something no one should smell inside a place that calls itself a care facility. What happened to your family member was not aging. It was not bad luck. It was a cascade of failures that began with a decision…

Florida Bans Cancer-Linked Firefighting Foam: What the New PFAS Law Means for Your Legal Rights You may have spent years standing inside a cloud of white foam at the fire-training academy, never told that the foam was loaded with chemicals designed never to break down — chemicals that would stay in your blood for years, silently raising your risk of kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, and more. Or you may have spent decades drinking tap water a mile from a military base or an airport, never knowing that the foam they sprayed on training fires for decades had seeped into the aquifer beneath your kitchen. Florida’s new law banning cancer-linked firefighting foam and ordering water testing for PFAS contamination is the state finally catching up to what the science has shown for years — and what the manufacturers of that foam have been accused of knowing for far longer. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle toxic tort cases and the catastrophic-injury and wrongful-death claims that flow from them. This page is for the firefighter who was never warned, the family whose water was never tested, and the cancer patient wondering whether the foam they…

Woodville PFAS Water Contamination: Your Legal Rights When Forever Chemicals Are in Your Well You filled a glass from the tap in your own kitchen, the way you have for years, and someone handed you a piece of paper with a number on it that changed what that glass means. Up to fifty private wells in Woodville — the community south of Tallahassee where people live on their own water, not the city’s — have tested positive for PFAS, the “forever chemicals” that don’t break down, that build up in the body, and that the federal government links to cancer, thyroid disease, immune damage, and developmental harm in children. A geologist stood in front of Tallahassee City Hall on March 23, 2026, and told the public what he believes happened: treated wastewater sprayed onto the City of Tallahassee’s Southeast Farm spray field flowed through the ground, through the porous limestone of the Floridan Aquifer, and into the private wells your family drinks from every day. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle toxic tort claims and the catastrophic-injury and wrongful-death cases that grow out of them. We are writing this for you, the person in Woodville who…

Temple Terrace PFAS Water Contamination: What You Need to Know About Your Drinking Water and Your Legal Rights You live in Temple Terrace. You have been drinking the water. Maybe for years. Maybe for decades.
