A US jury awards US$29 million in damages to the family of a victim of a Boeing 737 MAX crash, according to reports from multiple outlets. The decision resolves one of the remaining civil claims connected to the aircraft’s two fatal accidents.
The case is described as among the last pending civil suits against Boeing following two crashes involving the 737 MAX in 2018 and 2019. Across the coverage, the accidents are linked to faulty anti-stall software associated with the aircraft’s flight control system. Together, the two disasters claim a total of 346 lives. The reports characterize the award as part of the broader effort to settle or conclude remaining lawsuits in the aftermath of the crashes, rather than a new allegation or regulatory action.
While both outlets present the same core outcome—an approximately US$29 million damages award to the victim’s family—they frame the case in slightly different ways, with one emphasizing its status among the final civil suits and the other describing it as the damages payment for the 2019 crash victim’s family.
