Medan, Indonesia – A US law firm has taken the rare step of compensating families of the victims of Indonesia’s Lion Air crash after the relatives’ California lawyer failed to pay them the full amount of their settlement with Boeing.
Chicago-based Edelson PC paid at least $2m to five families after learning now-defunct Girardi & Keese had failed to pay out funds won in a settlement against the manufacturer of the doomed 737 Max plane that crashed into the Java Sea in 2018.
