Chicago Jury Awards $49.5 Million in Boeing Crash Case
A Chicago jury awarded $49.5 million to Samya Stumo's family after the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines crash. Boeing, facing numerous lawsuits over the 737 MAX crashes, settled most claims for billions but did not contest the liability in this case. Punitive damage claims are being pursued in appellate court.
A jury in Chicago awarded $49.5 million to the family of Samya Stumo, a victim in the March 2019 Ethiopian Airlines crash involving a Boeing 737 MAX.
The jury decision includes compensation for her experience on the flight, loss of companionship, and family grief. This marks the second verdict tied to the deadly crash.
Boeing, facing lawsuits from two fatal crashes that killed 346 people, has largely settled claims but remains embroiled in legal battles over punitive damages.
