Harwood Feffer LLP Announces Investigation of Trinity Industries, Inc.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Trinity Industries, Inc. ("Trinity Industries" or the "Company") (NYSE: TRN), concerning whether the board has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders.

On October 20, 2014, a jury in Texas found that the Company defrauded the U.S. government by selling defective and dangerous guardrail systems which, instead of collapsing when struck by a vehicle, slice through the vehicle and can severely injure the passengers inside.  The Trinity Industries guardrails have been banned in eight states and the Company is now liable for $525 million in damages to the federal government.  Additional fines and fees could raise the Company's exposure to over $1 billion.

Our investigation concerns whether the Company board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.
