When a Scholarship Celebration Becomes a Hazing Tragedy: Your Family’s Rights Under Ohio Law Your child earned a scholarship. That is not a small thing — it means a room full of people celebrated what your child had built, the years of work, the grades, the potential. And then, in the span of days or weeks, that celebration turned into the worst phone call a parent can receive. A hazing incident. A freshman. A family that was planning a future now planning something else entirely. We are not going to pretend we know exactly what happened to your child, because the specific details of this case have not been made public in full. What we know is this: a Toledo college freshman’s family has filed a hazing lawsuit after an incident that turned a scholarship celebration into tragedy. And what we know from years of doing this work is that what happened to your child is not an accident, not a rite of passage, and not something the law treats as a misunderstanding. It is a civil wrong — and in Ohio, it may also be a crime. We are Attorney911, and we handle hazing cases. Right now, our managing…

The Ursuline Hazing Settlement: What It Means for Families in Youngstown and Across Ohio The settlement news coming out of Youngstown may be the first signal that what happened to your child at school was not “tradition” or “boys being boys” — it was a civil wrong that Ohio wrote a law to stop. If your son came home from a football trip with injuries no adult would explain, if your daughter was harassed until she stopped wanting to walk through the school doors, if a fight everyone knew was coming happened anyway and your child ended up with a concussion — the law does not call those things normal. It calls them hazing, discrimination, and negligence. And the fact that a Catholic diocese and a private high school are sitting at the settlement table in federal court right now tells you exactly how seriously the system takes it when the adults who were supposed to supervise looked the other way. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle hazing, school-liability, and catastrophic student-injury cases, and we are writing this for one reason: so that a parent reading at 2 a.m. understands what their child’s rights actually are…

Parents of Roswell teen who died during alcohol-related incident at LSU excited about new anti-hazing legislation – 11Alive.com

Hazing Wrongful Death: Your Legal Rights When a Fraternity Takes a Student’s Life If you are reading this page, you may be living through something no parent should ever have to survive. Your child went to college — maybe just weeks or months ago — and a fraternity ritual turned a night that should have been about belonging into the last night of their life. The criminal case may be over. The news cameras may be gone. The legislation may carry your child’s name. And still, you are sitting at a kitchen table trying to understand what comes next. What comes next is this: the civil justice system. It is a separate, powerful avenue of accountability that does not replace criminal prosecution or legislative advocacy — it runs alongside them, and it reaches people and institutions that criminal courts never touch. The local fraternity chapter that organized the hazing. The national fraternity organization that was supposed to prevent it. The individual members who handed your child the alcohol and then walked away while he lay dying. The university that knew this culture existed and failed to stop it. Each of these is a separate defendant with a separate insurance policy…

Final two criminal defendants in Timothy Piazza hazing case sentenced in Centre County Court – fox43.com

Fraternity Hazing Wrongful Death: What the Piazza Sentencing Means for Civil Liability The criminal sentencing of the final two defendants in the Timothy Piazza hazing case closes one chapter. It opens another. If your family lost a son or daughter to a fraternity hazing event — whether at Penn State or anywhere else in this country — the criminal system did its job, and it was never going to do the whole job. Criminal court puts people in prison. Civil court makes the institutions that profited from the culture that killed your child pay for what they built. Those are two different fights, and the second one is the one that forces change. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes hazing wrongful death cases. Ralph Manginello has spent 27-plus years in courtrooms, including federal court, and is lead counsel in an active $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. Lupe Peña spent years inside a national insurance-defense firm — the rooms where adjusters and their software decided how to deny, delay, and devalue people exactly like you — and now sits on your side of…

NAU Fraternity Hazing Death: Your Family’s Civil Rights After Criminal Charges You are reading this because someone you love — an 18-year-old who should be starting their adult life — is gone. Three fraternity members at Northern Arizona University have been arrested and charged with hazing in connection with that death. The criminal case is real and it matters. But it is not your family’s case. The prosecutor represents the State of Arizona, not you. No one from the criminal system is building a claim for your family’s loss, your child’s suffering, or the lifetime of what was stolen. That is a separate fight — a civil fight — and it is the one that actually answers to you. We are Attorney911. We are a trial firm that handles hazing wrongful death cases, and we are writing this for one purpose: to give you the truth about what the civil justice system can do that the criminal system cannot, what evidence is disappearing right now while you grieve, and what deadlines are already running that you cannot afford to miss. Your child is not blamed for what happened. Hazing exploits vulnerability and power imbalance — the law recognizes this, and…

Your Son Was the Victim of a Crime — Not a Participant in a Tradition If you are reading this at two in the morning, you are probably a parent. You sent your eighteen-year-old to Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, and he came home in a way no parent should ever have to describe. An indictment has been returned. A pledge master has been charged. And the question that brought you here is not whether what happened was wrong — you already know it was wrong. The question is whether the law gives you a way to hold every person and every institution that let this happen fully accountable, and whether that path is still open. It is. But the window is narrower than you think, and it is closing on two clocks you cannot see. Your son was an eighteen-year-old pledge at a fraternity that required him to consume lethal quantities of vodka as a condition of belonging. He became unable to stand. He became unable to speak. And sometime between that moment and the following morning, he died of alcohol poisoning — alone, in an off-campus residence in Flagstaff, while the people who put the bottle in his…

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…

Your Son Was Poisoned — Not by Accident, but by a System That Let Him Die You sent your son to Northern Arizona University to learn, to grow, to find his community. You did not send him to die alone on the floor of an off-campus fraternity house in Flagstaff while the people who put him there went to sleep. The Coconino County Medical Examiner has now confirmed what happened: he died of acute ethanol toxicity. His blood alcohol concentration was 0.425 — a number that means his breathing was shutting down, that his brain was being starved of oxygen, and that the people watching him knew, or should have known, that he was dying. They did not call 911. They let him die. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, and we are currently lead counsel in an active $10 million hazing lawsuit against a university fraternity — a case that has taught us exactly how these organizations operate, how they try to escape accountability, and how to break through every wall they build. What follows is everything you need to know about what happened to your son, what…

Hazing Death Lawsuits: When a Fraternity Pledge Dies — Fraternity Liability, University Accountability, and the Evidence Clock You are reading this because someone’s child is gone. Maybe it was your child. Maybe it was your brother, your grandson, your friend’s son. Maybe you watched a documentary about what happened and you need to understand how the law answers a death that should never have occurred. A young man went to college, joined a fraternity, and never came home. A film about his death is premiering at one of the most prestigious film festivals in the country — and that documentary means the story is not going away. It means the public is about to learn what happened behind fraternity walls that a family has already known in grief. If you are a parent, a sibling, or a friend sitting at a kitchen table at 2 a.m. trying to understand what the law can do after a hazing death, we are going to tell you everything — who can be held accountable, how the evidence disappears, what the fight looks like, and what your family’s rights actually are.

Stone Foltz BGSU Hazing Case — Bench Warrant, Fraternity Liability & Ohio Hazing Law If you are reading this page, you already know what hazing does. You may be the parent of a son or daughter who came home from a fraternity event changed — or who never came home at all. You may be following the Stone Foltz case and just learned that a defendant failed to appear in court, and you are asking the question every family in your position eventually asks: is anyone actually going to be held accountable? We are going to answer that honestly — not with reassurance, but with the law, the evidence, and the specific tools a wrongful death case gives a family to force accountability even when the criminal system stumbles. A bench warrant for a defendant who fails to appear is not a sign that the system has collapsed. It is a sign that accountability in hazing cases is complicated, fragile, and dependent on multiple legal tracks running at the same time. The criminal prosecution is one track. The civil wrongful death lawsuit is a second, separate track — and it does not depend on any individual defendant showing up to…
