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…

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. This page is legal information, not legal advice. But it is written by…

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…

BGSU Phi Gamma Delta Hazing: What the Suspension Means and What Your Family Can Do About It If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because your son or daughter came home from a fraternity event shaken, injured, hospitalized, or worse — or because you are a student yourself, trying to understand whether what happened to you inside that house was a crime disguised as a tradition — you are in the right place. What happened at the Phi Gamma Delta chapter at Bowling Green State University is not a private fraternity matter. Under Ohio law, it may be a civil rights violation, a criminal act, and the foundation of a case that can hold a national organization accountable for what its local chapter did behind closed doors. We are a trial firm that takes Ohio hazing cases, and the first thing we want you to know is this: hazing is not a rite of passage. It is a foreseeable, preventable, documented pattern of harm that the law has been built to punish — and the people responsible for it have insurance, assets, and a corporate structure designed to shield them from you. Breaking through that shield is what we…

When a Fraternity Hazing Death Becomes a Wrongful Death Case If you are reading this page, you already know the worst thing that can happen to a family. Your son went away to college — in this case, to Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge — and he did not come home. The people who were supposed to be his brothers killed him with a ritual they called tradition. And now you are living what this father described when he said, “Every day I think about my son.” Five years later. Every single day. We want you to hear something before anything else: your son’s death was not an accident, and it was not a rite of passage that went wrong. It was a preventable tragedy caused by a culture of cruelty that institutions permitted and failed to stop. That distinction matters — not just morally, but legally. Because in Louisiana, the difference between “a terrible accident” and “a death caused by the fault of others” is the difference between nothing and accountability. This page is our firm’s expert analysis of what happens when a fraternity hazing death becomes a wrongful death case under Louisiana law. We are Attorney911 —…

What a Hazing Settlement With One Family Actually Means for the Case You are reading about a settlement in a hazing lawsuit out of Youngstown, and the first question that hits you is not about the money. It is: is this case over? No. It is not. When the family of one former player settles, one piece of a larger case has resolved — one defendant, one layer of responsibility, one chapter. The school, the coaches, the institution that was supposed to keep your child safe — they are still in this case. And if your child was hazed on a football team in Ohio, the same law that gave that family their settlement is the same law that protects yours. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are trial attorneys who take hazing cases, and right now we are litigating an active $10 million hazing lawsuit against a university and a fraternity in Harris County, Texas. That case and the one you are reading about share the same architecture: a child was harmed inside a culture that adults built, adults tolerated, and adults failed to stop. The law in Ohio is built to hold those adults accountable…

Wisconsin Campus Hazing Injury Lawyer — Stop Campus Hazing Act, Fraternity Lawsuits & Your Rights If you are reading this at 2 a.m. in a hospital waiting room in Milwaukee, or at a kitchen table with a daughter who came home from semester break changed and terrified, or with a son who will not come home at all — you are in the right place, and you are not alone. What happened on that campus was not a rite of passage. It was not “boys being boys.” It was not something your child signed up for. Under a brand-new federal law and a Wisconsin criminal statute that has been on the books for years, what happened was hazing — and the people and institutions that allowed it are accountable in ways they were not before. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are trial attorneys who currently litigate a hazing wrongful-death case against a university and a national fraternity, and we built this page so that when a family in Wisconsin searches for help after campus hazing, they find the truth about what the law now does, what it has always done, and what we can do…
