Boeing settles first 11 Lion Air crash cases
Boeing has reached settlements with 11 families of victims from October's Lion Air crash, the first agreements following 2 deadly crashes, a plaintiff’s attorney said Wednesday. The Wisner Law Firm, which specialises in aviation cases, is also "optimistic" about reaching settlements on its remaining 6 cases for families affected by the crash in Indonesia, said attorney Alexandra Wisner. The settlements pay out at least US$1.2m per victim, a person familiar with the matter said. Boeing still faces more than 100 lawsuits in federal court in Chicago following the Lion Air Crash and a second crash of an Ethiopian Airlines plane in March. Boeing in July announced that it would spend $100m on communities and families affected by the 737 Max disasters. <br/>
