A federal jury in Chicago awarded $49.5 million in damages Wednesday to the family of Samya Stumo, a 24-year-old American.
Stumo, a nonprofit global health worker, was killed in the 2019 crash of a Boeing 737 Max jet in Ethiopia. The accident was the second of two Boeing 737 MAX crashes that occurred within months of each other in 2018 and 2019.
Nearly all of the civil lawsuits surrounding the crash had been settled out of court.
