A family in Kenya has received Ksh.335 million compensation after their relatives died in Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed on March 10, 2019.
Numerous cases were filed in the U.S. Federal Court in Chicago seeking compensation for the victims’ family from the huge American airline company, Boeing.
However, the lawyers argued that the compensation amount would not be a big dent to the Boeing company, since most of the payments would be covered by their insurance firms.
Manuel von Ribbeck of Ribbeck Law Chartered, representing the victims’ families, stated that the settlement had ignored the Kenyan families case for years.
His colleague, Deona Botha, reiterated his opinion and urged the airline to ensure the safety of its passengers.
“We believe Boeing should pay a fair and reasonable amount to all families regardless as to where they are from. We are hopeful that Boeing will change the way they operate to avoid losing innocent lives again,” Botha stated.
