Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe, founder of The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP announce that a federal class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against Trinity Industries Inc. (“Trinity”) (NYSE: TRN) and several officers and directors for acts taken during the period of February 16, 2012 to April 21, 2015 (the “Class Period”).

Based upon the allegations in the class action, the firms are investigating additional legal claims against the officers and Board of Directors of Trinity.

According to the complaint, the defendants are alleged to have violated certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants issued false or misleading statements regarding its business, operational and compliance policies. According to the complaint, Trinity made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that it had changed certain dimensions of the ET-Plus in 2005 without notifying the Federal Highway Administration and that, as a result, its public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The New York Times published articles on October 12, 2014 and October 14, 2014 concerning multiple states banning, or threatening to ban, the use of guardrail heads manufactured by Trinity. Immediately following both articles, Trinity stock price fell and traded on unusually heavy volume. On October 20, 2014, a jury in a whistleblower lawsuit found that Trinity deliberately withheld information from the U.S. about cost-saving changes to its guardrail system, which made it more dangerous. Trinity stock prices again fell and traded on unusually heavy volume. Then, on April 22, 2014, a Bloomberg article reported that Trinity was at the center of a Federal Criminal Probe. Again, Trinity stock price fell and traded on unusually heavy volume.
