A federal jury in Chicago has ordered Boeing to pay more than $28 million to the family of Shikha Garg, a United Nations consultant who died in the 2019 Crash of an Ethiopian AirlinesBoeing 737 Max jet — one of two fatal accidents that exposed major flaws in the aircraft and triggered a global grounding.
According to The Associated Press, the verdict, reached Wednesday after just two hours of deliberation, marks the first civil trial stemming from the March 2019 disaster that killed all 157 passengers and crew on Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302.
Boeing, which previously admitted fault for the Crash, had already reached out-of-court settlements with most of the other victims’ families.
