When a Rite of Passage Becomes a Wrongful Death in Hazing-National You sent your son to college to build a future, to find a community, and to earn a degree that would change his life. You did not send him to be subjected to “rituals” that treat human life as disposable. When a fraternity pledge is killed by forced alcohol poisoning or physical abuse, the organization will call it a tragedy or a rogue incident. We call it what it is: an institutional failure of the highest order. We understand that you are in the middle of a nightmare that most parents cannot even imagine. While the police handle the arrests and the state pursues criminal charges, our job is different. We are here to hold the entire system accountable—from the individual students who participated, to the local chapter officers who authorized the abuse, to the national fraternity that collected dues while failing to stop a known culture of violence. Fraternities often hide behind a “code of silence,” but that silence is broken in a courtroom. We work through the layers of corporate and organizational structure to find the truth that the fraternity and the university may be trying to…

Total Accountability in the PSU Beta Theta Pi Hazing Case When a 19-year-old college student walks into a fraternity house for a “bid acceptance” night, he and his family have a right to assume that the basic rules of human decency and the law will be followed. In Hazing-National, we have seen that when those assumptions are shattered, the legal system becomes the only tool left to demand a complete accounting of the truth. The events surrounding the 2017 death of Timothy Piazza at the Beta Theta Pi house at Penn State are some of the most egregious examples of organizational and individual negligence in modern history. The recent reports that nearly all of the 28 original defendants have reached settlements leaves only a few parties—specifically the security firm contracted to monitor the event and two of the fraternity’s leaders—to face a jury. We look at cases like this as “slow-motion” tragedies. Behind every settlement reached is a story of a system that failed at every level: the national organization that failed to supervise its chapter, the local members who orchestrated a lethal ritual, and the paid security professionals who were supposed to be the “adults in the room.” The…

When the Ritual Becomes a Crime: Understanding Fraternity Hazing Liability If you are reading this at 2 a.m. while sitting at your kitchen table, looking at a folder of medical records or a police report that feels like a weight you cannot carry, we know the silence you are living in. You sent a child to college to build a future, and instead, you are facing a nightmare built on “tradition” and “brotherhood” that ended in a hospital room. The news of a university reacquiring a property where a young man died is a symbolic milestone, but it doesn’t answer the question that keeps you awake: how does a family get justice when the system that was supposed to protect their son instead ignored him as he lay dying? Hazing incidents, like the catastrophic 2017 case at Pennsylvania State University, are not accidents. They are the predictable result of a culture of reckless indifference. When a student suffers a traumatic brain injury, a fractured skull, and internal organ damage during an alcohol-fueled ritual, and then lies on a floor for nearly twelve hours while those around him fail to call 911, the law has a name for it: negligence and…

When an Intake Ritual Becomes a Crime in Baton Rouge There is a specific kind of silence that falls over a family when a son goes to college to build a future and comes home in a casket. At Attorney911, we know that silence. We know that right now, you aren’t just looking for a file number or a court date; you are looking for an answer to how a 20-year-old engineering student and a member of the “Human Jukebox” marching band could be killed during what was supposed to be a brotherhood ritual. Caleb Wilson’s death after an off-campus event involving the Beta Sigma Chapter of Omega Psi Phi is not a tragedy of “accidents.” It is a tragedy of choices. When five individuals are indicted on felony hazing and manslaughter charges, the system is telling you that the line between a tradition and a battery was crossed. We are a trial firm that takes Louisiana cases, and our mission is to make sure the institutions that allowed this to happen are held as accountable as the individuals who threw the punches. We work through the aftermath of these events by arming families with the truth. You need to…

Piedmont High School Hazing & Sexual Assault Lawsuit — Attorney911 & Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice Holding Districts Accountable for Locker Room Abuse in Hazing-National, We Litigate Title IX Claims and Institutional Deliberate Indifference, Lead Counsel in the Active $10M+ Bermudez Hazing Matter, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies These Cases, We Move Fast to Preserve Coaching Communications and School Records Before the Evidence Clock Runs Out, Millions Recovered in Catastrophic Injury Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Piedmont High School Hazing Lawsuit: Protecting Students from Locker Room Assault If you are reading this from a kitchen table in Piedmont or anywhere in Calhoun County, we know the weight you are carrying. You trusted a school, a coach, and a program to build your child’s character. Instead, that child was subjected to what some call “antics” or “tradition,” but what the law and your own gut tell you was a crime. When locker room culture turns into sexual assault, the silence of the school district is not just a betrayal—it is a violation of federal law. The recent reversal by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has fundamentally changed the legal system for victims of high school hazing in Alabama. It has sent a clear message: same-sex hazing of a sexual nature is sexual harassment. Period. We represent families who have to fight both the trauma of the event and the small-town pressure to keep quiet for the sake of the team. Our firm takes on these cases because we know that “football culture” is never an excuse for the physical and psychological destruction of a student. The Eleventh Circuit Ruling: Why This Lawsuit Was Revived For too…

Ohio University Hazing Death: Holding Wilberforce University Accountable The phone call no parent should ever receive is the one that comes from a university morgue. At Wilberforce University, the tragic death of 18-year-old Savanna Jones has exposed a systemic failure of safety and supervision that leaves a family searching for answers and justice. When a student is forced to consume an entire bottle of liquor as part of an interrogation in a residence hall, it isn’t a “tradition” or a “ritual.” Under Ohio law, it is a crime—and it is a failure of the institution that promised to keep her safe. We have spent years fighting for families in their darkest hours, and we know that the university’s first response is often to protect its reputation rather than tell the truth. If your family is facing the aftermath of a student safety failure, you are not just fighting the individuals involved; you are fighting a multi-million-dollar institutional machine. At Attorney911, we act as the protector that levels that playing field. The Savanna Jones Incident: Institutional Failure in Plain Sight The details of Savanna’s death are not just heartbreaking; they are a documentation of “conscious disregard” for human life. Reports indicate…
