CHICAGO—Eleven U.S. passengers who survived an Aeromexico crash in the northern Mexican state of Durango on July 31 filed lawsuits against the airline in Chicago on Aug. 6, according to a statement by Chicago-based attorneys Corboy & Demetrio.
The Mexico City-bound Embraer 190 passenger jet smashed into scrubland near the runway shortly after take-off during what passengers have described as strong winds, hail, and rain. All 103 passengers and crew survived by evacuating from the plane before it caught fire.
