A Kenyan family that lost kin in the deadly Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash has received a record-breaking settlement from plane manufacturer Boeing.
This is the first case to be settled from dozens of lawsuits filed in a US Federal Court in Chicago against Boeing by Ribbeck Law Chartered on behalf of victimsâ families.
The suits followed two fatal crashes involving the same Boeing 737 Max 8 model.
Manuel von Ribbeck, Ribbeck Law Chartered Founding Partner, has been seeking compensation in the courts in Chicago for the families of the victims.
âWe sought and asked for the largest amount possible to be paid as compensation to the families we represent,â Mr. Ribbeck stated after the settlement.
