Stumo was travelling to Uganda for her first major assignment when Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed shortly after take-off from Addis Ababa, killing all 157 people aboard. The award includes $21million for Stumo’s pain and suffering, $16.5 million for her family's loss of companionship, and $12 million for their grief. This verdict resolves one of the last remaining wrongful death lawsuits stemming from the disaster, with Boeing having confidentially settled most other claims. The 737 Max crashes, attributed to a faulty flight-control system, led to a global grounding of the aircraft and extensive investigations into Boeing's safety practices.
