NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential wrongdoing at Trinity Industries Inc. ("Trinity" or the "Company") (NYSE: TRN). The investigation focuses on whether certain officers and directors at Trinity breached their fiduciary duties by causing or allowing Trinity to engage in the improper modification of the Company's ET-Plus guardrail systems.

On October 20, 2014, a federal jury found Trinity liable over claims that the Company had failed to inform the United States Federal Highway Administration over changes made to Trinity's ET-Plus guardrail systems. The jury said those violations caused the U.S. government to incur $175 million in damages, making the Company potentially liable for three times that amount for a total of $525 million in payments. Furthermore, several states have banned the further purchase of ET-Plus guardrail system citing safety concerns.
