Lion Air crash families to sue Boeing after CEO's apology
Jakarta - Boeing's apology last week for two deadly crashes involving its 737 MAX model has emboldened a group of Indonesians whose relatives were killed in the first crash to sue for compensation, their lawyer said on Monday.
However, most of the families affected had previously chosen not to sue, believing their chances of success were small, said Denny Kailimang, who is representing the plaintiffs. "The CEO's statement strengthens claims by the victims' families for viable compensation from the plane maker," Kailimang said, since the apology means that Boeing implicitly accepts blame.
"Our loved ones died tragically but there's still no compensation from the airline or the aircraft producer," she told reporters.
