A Boeing Co. lawyer said the aircraft maker has reached settlements in more than 60 wrongful death cases filed after a 737 Max 8 plane flown by Lion Air crashed in Indonesia last year, killing all 189 people aboard.
Attorney Dan Webb told U.S. District Judge Jorge L. Alonso in Chicago on Thursday that Boeing has reached agreements involving 63 or 64 plaintiffs filed by families and estates of the Lion Air victims. Webb made his comments during a status hearing on separate litigation involving claims from the March 2019 crash of a 737 Max plane flown by Ethiopian Airlines, which killed 157.
