Spokane Amazon Truck Crash on I-90: What Injured Passengers and Drivers Need to Know If you are reading this from a hospital room at Sacred Heart, or from a kitchen table covered in discharge papers and a patrol car’s business card, you are in the right place. An Amazon-branded truck went off Interstate 90 near Division Street on a December night, hit a guardrail, and went down an embankment — and now you or someone you love is hurting, and the questions are already piling up faster than the answers. We are going to give you the answers. Not the sales-pitch version. The version a senior trial attorney would give you if she sat down across that kitchen table and had nowhere to be for the next hour. Here is the first thing you need to hear: the truck that crashed on I-90 was almost certainly not a private vehicle. It was a commercial delivery vehicle operating under one of the largest corporate delivery systems on earth — and that fact changes everything about your case. It changes who is responsible, how much insurance may be available, how fast the evidence disappears, and how the fight against you has already…

The 70 Warnings Nobody Acted On — Pullman, Whitman County, Washington Fraternity Hazing Wrongful Death Lawyers You are reading this at the worst moment of your life, or someone else’s. Your son is gone, or your daughter is in the ICU, or you are a parent who just learned that the institution you trusted with your child knew about the danger and said nothing. You may have just read that the United States Senate passed the Stop Campus Hazing Act unanimously — a law the family of a 19-year-old Washington State University freshman helped push through Congress after their son died from acute alcohol poisoning at a fraternity hazing event in Pullman in November 2019. That law is a victory for the future. It does not touch what happened to your family. What happened to your family is the past — and the only tool the law gives you for the past is a lawsuit.

Pullman Fraternity Hazing: WSU Sigma Chi Sanctioned — Your Student’s Rights Under Washington’s Sam’s Law You just read that Sigma Chi lost its recognition at Washington State University for a year. Maybe your son or daughter was a pledge this past fall. Maybe they came home different — quieter, jumpy, ashamed of something they won’t talk about. Maybe you drove them to Pullman Regional Hospital at 3 a.m. for alcohol poisoning and were told it was “just college.” Maybe you are the student, reading this on your phone in a dorm room on College Hill, and you are starting to understand that what they did to you was not a tradition. It was a crime. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are trial attorneys who take catastrophic-injury and wrongful-death cases, and right now we are actively litigating a hazing lawsuit — the kind of case that puts a fraternity and the institution behind it on trial.

The Reality of Hazing at Washington State University If you are reading this page, you already know what happened. A student joined a fraternity at Washington State University looking for brotherhood and belonging. What that student got instead was something the university itself called hazing — a system of control where a new member was required to carry an object at all times under a threat the university described as a “fear of repercussions.” At the same time, the fraternity hosted a party where hard alcohol flowed freely to minors with no ID checks and no wristbands — the most basic safeguards any responsible host would use, simply absent. You may be that student. You may be a parent who found out and is now sitting at a kitchen table at 2 a.m., angry and frightened and unsure what to do. You may be a friend who watched someone change after pledging. Whoever you are, you need to hear three things before anything else. First: what you experienced — the fear, the coercion, the feeling that you had no choice but to comply — is a recognized psychological response to intimidation, not a personal weakness. The university’s own investigation named…

The Phone Call from Pullman: When a Washington University Must Answer for a Life Lost The phone call no parent should ever receive often comes in the middle of the night from a 509 area code. It starts with a notification from a hospital or a coroner and ends with the realization that the son you sent to Pullman to build a future is never coming home. In the wake of the 2019 death of 19-year-old freshman Sam Martinez at the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, a legal battle has reached the Washington Supreme Court that will decide if a university is just a landlord or if it carries a “special relationship” that makes it responsible for the safety of its students. We represent families in their darkest hours, and we know that while no amount of money can replace a child, the legal system is the only tool we have to force institutional change. If your family is facing the aftermath of a fraternity tragedy, you are fighting a battle of law as much as a battle of facts. The university will argue that because the incident happened at an off-campus, private residence involving adult students, they are exempt from…

Mead High School Football Sexual Assault & Racial Hazing Lawsuit — Attorney911 holds Spokane County, Washington school districts liable for failed mandatory reporting and institutional discrimination, we pursue liability when coaches ignore “sacrifice” massage gun assaults and foreseeable harm, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ years of federal-court trial practice and active $10M+ hazing litigation experience, Lupe Peña the former insurance-defense insider who knows the risk-management playbook, preserving cell phone evidence and staff correspondence before the overwrite, millions recovered in catastrophic injury cases — Free 24/7 consultation, No fee unless we win, 1-888-ATTY-911, Hablamos Español

The Mead High School Hazing Verdict: When “Foreseeable Harm” Becomes a $17 Million Reality We know the gut-wrenching feeling of trusting an institution with your child only to have that trust shattered. In Spokane County, a unanimous jury just sent a message that every school district in Washington must hear: silence in the face of brutality is not a defense; it is a confession. The $17 million verdict against the Mead School District is not just a number. It is a line in the sand for child safety. The facts of this case involve what court documents call “the sacrifice”—a violent ritual where football players were pinned down and sexually assaulted with a pulsating massage gun. This wasn’t a one-time lapse in judgment. It was a systemic culture of impunity that flourished at summer camps held at Eastern Washington University in 2022 and 2023. Our trial team examines these cases not as “unfortunate accidents,” but as institutional failures where adult supervisors watched, waited, and walked away while children were being destroyed. If your child was harmed in an environment where they should have been safe, you are likely feeling isolated and overwhelmed. We work until the truth is exposed. We…

Mead School District Hazing & Sexual Assault Liability: Attorney911 Holds Institutions Accountable for Massage Gun Assaults in Cheney, Spokane County, Washington, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice & Lead Counsel in the Active $10M+ Bermudez Hazing Case, We Litigate Title IX Violations & Mandatory Reporting Failures, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How Insurers Value & Deny Claims, Millions Recovered for Victims of Institutional Negligence & Viral Trauma — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

When the School District Is Liable for Sexual Assault and Hazing There is no deeper betrayal than a school district that watches a child suffer and chooses its own reputation over that child’s safety. For families in Cheney, Spokane County, Washington, and the surrounding Mead community, the recent court ruling against the school district confirms what many already feared: the adults in the room failed. When a high school football program transforms from a place of growth into a setting for repetitive sexual assault, the trust parents place in the institution is shattered. A Spokane County Superior Court judge has recently found the Mead School District liable as a matter of law for severe hazing and sexual assaults that occurred at football camps in 2022 and 2023. This is a massive development. It means the district’s negligence is no longer a question to be debated—it is a fact. The only question left for a jury is how much the district must pay for the lifelong damage done to these students. If your child was a victim of these events or similar institutional failures, you are likely dealing with a mixture of rage, grief, and confusion. We have seen this before.…
