It is the first lawsuit filed on behalf of a U.S. victim of the Ethiopian disaster and the first to target the airline and parts manufacturer Rosemount, in addition to Boeing

The complaint was filed in U.S. federal court in Chicago by the parents of Samya Stumo, who lawyers said was on a work trip when Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed on March 10 soon after taking off from Addis Ababa, killing all 157 on board. Boeing’s top-selling aircraft was grounded worldwide following the disaster, which came five months after a Lion Air 737 Max crash in Indonesia that killed 189 people.
“Those in charge of creating and selling this plane did not treat Samya as they would their own daughters,” the victim’s mother Nadia Milleron said a news conference on Thursday.
