Wabash to explore all options in response to St. Louis Circuit Court ruling

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 6, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wabash (NYSE: WNC) today announced that it is evaluating all available legal options in response to a St. Louis jury’s verdict in Williams et al. v. Wabash. The case involves a 2019 motor vehicle accident in which a passenger car traveling at a high rate of speed struck the rear of a nearly stationary 2004 Wabash trailer.

“While this was a tragic accident, we respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict and strongly believe it is not supported by the facts or the law,” said Wabash General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer Kristin Glazner. “There has never been any rear-impact protection or trailer safety technology that would have made a difference here.”
