It is, however, of general knowledge that Feinberg worked on similar compensation projects in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks and the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster. He has assured claimants that they would not be required to waive the right to litigate in order to receive compensation.  

Prior to this development, United States Lawmakers had set up a committee to examine what led to the crashing of Boeing’s aircraft. The committee was set up to investigate the matter and question the employees of the company in their drive to ascertain the exact cause of the plane crash which was blamed on a faulty Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS).
