737 Max 8 Crashes Civil Litigation
Lawsuits were filed against Boeing over two crashes of its 737 Max 8 commercial aircraft—one in October 2018 involving Lion Air flight JT 610 and one in March 2019 involving Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 302. The lawsuits allege that the accidents occurred because Boeing defectively designed a new flight control system for the aircraft that automatically and erroneously pushed the aircraft’s nose down, and because Boeing failed to warn of the defect. Many of the Lion Air lawsuits reportedly settled over the course of 2019.
