Bowling Green, Ohio Fraternity Hazing Death: What the Law Holds Accountable When a Pledge Doesn’t Come Home If you are reading this page, you already know the worst thing a parent can learn about their college-aged child. Maybe a hospital called at 2 a.m. Maybe a dean showed up at your door. Maybe your son or daughter is still in intensive care and you are sitting in a waiting room searching for answers on a phone you can barely see through your own tears. We are writing to you — the parent, the spouse, the sibling, the roommate who saw what happened — because what happened was not an accident. It was a ritual. And the law in Ohio has a name for what killed your family member, and it has a path to hold the institutions that allowed it to account for what they did. A 20-year-old student at Bowling Green State University died in March 2021 after a Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity event in which pledges were told to drink an entire bottle of high-proof liquor — a practice known on campus as “bottling.” He was found unconscious. He was taken to a hospital. He died days later…

Youngstown, Ohio: Ursuline High School Football Hazing & Sexual Abuse Lawsuit — What Families Need to Know Right Now You are reading this at a hour when nothing feels steady. Maybe your son told you something tonight that you cannot unhear. Maybe another parent called you. Maybe you found a video on a phone. Your child went to a football camp at a school you trusted — a Catholic school, a place built on a mission of character — and something was done to him there by teammates, and it was filmed, and adults knew, and the response was not to protect him. The response, if the lawsuit is right, was to tell people to destroy the evidence and keep quiet. We need you to hear one thing before anything else in this page matters: none of this is your child’s fault. Not the hazing. Not the assault. Not the filming. Not the silence that followed. And not the fact that it took time for him to tell you. Every one of those things is what adults and institutions failed to prevent — and then failed to handle honestly when it was staring them in the face. We are a…

What Happened at Bowling Green Was Not an Accident — It Was a System That Killed If you are reading this page, someone you love is gone — or lying in a hospital bed — and a fraternity is the reason. You may have gotten the call at 2 a.m. A roommate found your child unresponsive. A hospital social worker told you to come. You drove through the dark not knowing if you were driving toward a recovery or a funeral. And somewhere in the hours that followed, you started hearing words like “hazing” and “blood alcohol level” and “he was dropped off at his apartment” — and none of it made sense, because your child went to college to learn, not to be poisoned by people who called themselves his brothers. We are Attorney911. We are a trial firm that takes fraternity hazing and wrongful death cases. Ralph Manginello, our managing partner, is right now the lead counsel in an active ten-million-dollar hazing lawsuit against a national fraternity and a major university — we are currently litigating that case, and we understand this fight from the inside out. What happened to your family is not unique in the way…

Cleveland Fire Academy Hazing Wrongful Death: Ohio Law, Municipal Liability, and the Fight for a Cadet Who Was Failed by the System He Wanted to Serve If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because someone you love did not come home from a fire training academy — or because you watched the news about what happened at the Cleveland Fire Training Academy on May 16, 2025, and you recognized your own family in that story — you are in the right place. We are the trial team at Attorney911, and we build wrongful death cases that most firms will not touch because the defendant is a city, the setting is a training program, and the defense is already written: “unforeseen medical emergency.” That phrase is a shield. We are here to tell you how the law lets us break it. A 39-year-old man died during physical training at the Cleveland Fire Training Academy. He was a father of two. He had spent his career serving the City of Cleveland — EMS, Port Control, Sanitation — and he was months away from the lifelong goal of becoming a Cleveland firefighter. He was also the only African American cadet remaining in…

The Moment You Are In — And What We Need You to Know First If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because your child went to a scholarship celebration at a Toledo university and came home in a way no parent should ever have to describe — or did not come home at all — we need you to hear one thing before anything else: what happened was not an accident, and it was not your child’s fault. It was a failure of leadership and supervision by people who were supposed to protect your student, not endanger them. The law in Ohio recognizes this. We are going to tell you exactly how. Your child earned a scholarship. That means your child was recognized for academic achievement — for doing the right things, studying hard, building a future. The event that night was supposed to celebrate that. Instead, the organization your child trusted turned that celebration into something dangerous. The contrast between what your child earned and what was done to your child is not just a tragedy. It is the heart of a case. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are trial lawyers who take…

Wilberforce, Greene County, Ohio Hazing Wrongful Death Lawyer — When a University’s Silence Becomes a Death Sentence You are reading this because someone you love did not come home from college. An 18-year-old freshman went to a dorm room at Wilberforce University on a spring night in 2026 to join a group called the Turtles. She texted a friend that she was “lowkey scared.” By morning, she was dead. The university issued a statement calling it a “profound tragedy” and said it “prohibits hazing.” Those words arrived after the death, not before it — and the distance between what a university says after a hazing death and what it did before one is where your case lives. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes Ohio hazing and wrongful death cases, and we are currently lead counsel in an active multi-million-dollar hazing lawsuit against a university and a fraternity. That experience — the mechanics of how a campus culture hides a deadly ritual, how a university’s own staff can know and do nothing, and how the law finally caught up to institutions that looked the other way — is exactly what a…
