- 7 years ago
United Airlines and Dr. David Dao reached a settlement after he was violently dragged off a flight, Dao’s lawyers said on Thursday.
Dao’s lawyers did not disclose the terms of the settlement, but they did commend United CEO Oscar Munoz on handling the situation.
Dao's Lawyer Thomas Demetrio said, "Mr. Munoz said he was going to do the right thing, and he has.
In addition, United has taken full responsibility for what happened...without attempting to blame others, including the City of Chicago."
On April 9, Dao was dragged from his seat on an overbooked United flight from Chicago.
He suffered a concussion, a broken nose, and lost two of his teeth because of the incident.
United apologized profusely for the incident and said that the settlement between Dao was an “amicable resolution of the unfortunate incident.”
