Dozens of families have sued Boeing over the Lion Air crash, and several lawsuits have been lodged over the Ethiopian crash near the capital Addis Ababa, which led airlines around the world to ground the Boeing 737 MAX. U.S. attorney Nomaan Husain told a Paris news conference his client was seeking a minimum of $276 million in damages. It is unclear when the 737 MAX aircraft will receive FAA approval to return to service.
