Boeing to Pay Over $28 Million to Family of 737 MAX Crash Victim

Boeing to Pay Over $28 Million to Family of 737 MAX Crash Victim

Imagine a big airplane company called Boeing made a type of plane called the 737 MAX.

Sadly, two of these planes crashed a few years ago, and many people lost their lives.

One of those people was a kind woman named Shikha Garg.

Her family was very sad and asked a court to help them.

A jury, which is like a group of people who decide if something is fair, looked at the case.

They decided that Boeing should pay Shikha's family a lot of money to help them feel a little better.

Boeing agreed to pay all the money the jury decided, plus a little extra, and they promised not to fight it anymore.

This is the first time a court has ordered Boeing to pay money to a family after one of these plane crashes.
