A federal jury has awarded $28 million to the family of Shikha Garg, a UN consultant killed on Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in March 2019. The case was the first U.S. civil trial linked to the two 737 MAX crashes that together killed 346 people.

Briefing
The $28M verdict raises Boeing's civil liability exposure and establishes a damages reference point for other wrongful-death claims tied to the two 737 MAX crashes that killed 346 people.
The decision comes amid broader legal and oversight dynamics for Boeing, including the DOJ's deferred-prosecution agreement and a wave of recent U.S. wrongful-death filings over other 737 incidents (deferred-prosecution agreement; recent U.S. wrongful-death filings).
