Utah Awards $81 Million Verdict Against Trucking Company in Fatal Accident Case
A Utah court awarded an $81 million verdict against Beacon Roofing Supply, now owned by QXO, over a 2018 trucking accident that killed a 12-year-old boy. The case was settled confidentially after the retrial, but the verdict highlights the risks of large nuclear verdicts in the trucking industry. The incident occurred when a truck operated by Allied Building Products, then owned by Beacon, struck the boy in a crosswalk.
