Attorneys for the passenger dragged from a United flight announced Thursday that he has reached a settlement agreement with the airline for an undisclosed amount.
“Dr. David Dao has reached an amicable settlement with United Airlines for the injuries he received in his April 9th ordeal, which was captured on video and viewed worldwide,” Dao’s attorneys wrote in a news release. “A condition of the settlement includes a provision that the amount remain confidential.”
Police removed Dao from the United flight earlier in April after he refused to give up his seat on the full plane to make room for four airline employees. Dao’s attorney said that he lost two front teeth and suffered a broken nose and a concussion while being dragged from the plane.
