CHICAGO - Boeing has settled more than half of some 118 claims related to the fatal crash of a Lion Air flight on a 737 Max aircraft in October 2018, attorney Dan Webb said at a court hearing on Thursday .
The second crash, which killed all 157 on board after nose-diving soon after take-off from Addis Ababa in March, led to a global grounding of the Boeing 737 Max that is still ongoing and a crisis for the world's biggest planemaker. Boeing chief executive officer Dennis Muilenburg acknowledged at congressional hearings in Washington last month that the company had"made mistakes and got some things wrong."Some Lion Air cases settled in September for at least US$1.2 million per claim, sources told Reuters at the time.
Robert Clifford of Clifford Law Offices, which represents families of the Ethiopian crash victims, said 103 lawsuits have been filed against Boeing so far over the second crash, with 30 more cases expected to be filed soon. None have settled as of yet in the United States, he said.
