More than 12 passengers that were injured in a runway crash at the Denver International Airport filed a lawsuit against Boeing after the accident.  The accident occurred in December 2008 when the Continental Flight 1404 ran off the runway and caught fire.  Six people were seriously injured in the airplane accident and dozens more suffered various minor injuries.

Investigators blamed the cause of the accident on pilot error and strong winds.  In the lawsuit, the passengers claim that Boeing was negligent in their design of the plane, specifically blaming its "directional control mechanism".  The details of the passengers' recent settlements with Boeing have not been released.
