Boeing escaped another courtroom nightmare after cutting a deal with a grieving father whose entire family perished during the deadly 737 MAX disaster. Paul Njoroge agreed to a secret cash settlement just days before his federal case against the aviation giant was set to begin Monday morning. The widowed husband lost his pregnant wife Carolyne, three young children, and mother-in-law when Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 plummeted from the sky back in March 2019. All 157 passengers and crew members aboard the doomed aircraft died within six minutes of takeoff from Addis Ababa airport. Clifford Law attorneys representing Njoroge worked around the clock preparing for what would have been a grueling week-long trial.

The aerospace manufacturer has successfully dodged every single civil trial related to both fatal MAX crashes by reaching last-minute financial agreements with victim families. Boeing previously accepted full blame for the Ethiopian disaster and pointed fingers at their faulty MCAS flight control system that went haywire during takeoff. The same malfunctioning technology also caused a Lion Air jet to crash into Indonesian waters during 2018, killing another 189 innocent people. Company executives have managed to settle more than 90 percent of all wrongful death lawsuits stemming from these twin tragedies. Federal prosecutors are still hammering out a separate criminal agreement with Boeing that could finally close the book on their deadly MAX debacle.
