Cantor Injury Law Partner Brian Winebright Helps Achieve One of Missouri’s Largest Verdicts

Published on

At Cantor Injury Law, we fight for justice and accountability, and we’re proud to celebrate a monumental victory in the courtroom. Congratulations to our partner, Brian Winebright, for playing a key role in securing the #2 Top Verdict in 2024, as recognized by Missouri Lawyers Weekly.

Brian, alongside the esteemed trial team of John Simon, Johnny Simon, and Lisa Tsacoumangos, obtained a historic $462 million verdict against Wabash, a major trailer manufacturer. This case stemmed from a tragic accident in which two young fathers lost their lives after their vehicle slid under the back of a Wabash-manufactured trailer—a devastating type of crash known as an underride accident.

The jury awarded this record-breaking verdict, which is believed to be the largest punitive damages award ever issued against a trailer manufacturer. This outcome not only delivers justice for the victims and their families but also sends a powerful message to the industry: safety must come first. It is our hope that this landmark case will push manufacturers to prioritize life-saving design improvements and prevent similar tragedies in the future.

At Cantor Injury Law, we take on complex, high-stakes cases to hold corporations accountable for negligence and unsafe products. If you or a loved one has suffered due to a defective product, negligent company, or preventable accident, we are ready to fight for you.
