Attorney for families says planemaker should be fined $25bn, but amount could be reduced if Boeing improved safety standards

In a letter to the US justice department, Paul Cassell, an attorney for 15 victims’ families said that the mount is “legally justified and clearly appropriate”, but could be significantly reduced if Boeing improved safety standards and agreed to an independent monitor.
