Boeing Can't Shirk Liability Under Illinois Law, Passengers Argue
Passengers suing Boeing Co. over the 2024 aircraft door panel incident told a Washington state court that the company cannot escape punitive damages under Illinois law.
The plaintiffs claim corporate decisions made at Boeing's former Chicago headquarters are to blame for the event, which occurred on October 11, 2024.
Boeing moved its headquarters from Chicago to Arlington, Virginia in 2022. However, passengers argue that this move does not shield the company from liability under Illinois law.
