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.
