Recall that in October 2014, the lawsuit resulted in a fraud verdict of a trebled $175 million against Trinity Industries, the maker of the ET Plus end terminal.  The lawsuit alleged that Trinity made misrepresentations to the federal government in 2005 about a modified version of the ET Plus 2005 that led the product to fail and injure or kill occupants in striking vehicles.

The case is Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc., et;. al., Case No. 2:12-cv-0089-JRG.

As of December 12, 2014, 42 states are confirmed to have removed the ET-Plus from their approved purchase list, including: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

This office presently represents a then 18-year-old young man who suffered horrific burns in Contra Costa County when the vehicle he was riding in struck the end of the guardrail and was redirected down a hillside into another collision that horribly burned his entire body.  We are in extensive discovery against Trinity at this time.  If you wish any information about litigating a case involving this guardrail system, please contact Thomas Brandi at [email protected] or call 800-481-1615.
