Case Details

Jurors in Texas found Trinity Industries, Inc., a guardrail manufacturer, liable for committing fraud. The whistleblower lawsuit argued that the company’s design of widely used highway guardrails caused serious and sometimes fatal accidents due to undisclosed dangerous defects.

Additional Notes

The jury awarded $175 million that will ultimately be tripled to $525 million. The United States will get the bulk of the money, but Harman (the whistleblower) will receive a percentage of the award up to 25%.
