United Airlines Settles With Dragged Passenger

The Los Angeles Times reports:

United Airlines has settled with Dr. David Dao over the injuries he received when dragged off a United flight this month, Dao’s attorneys announced Thursday.

Under the terms reached by the airline and Dao, the amount of the settlement will remain confidential, according to the lawyers.

Dao’s attorneys have said he suffered a broken nose and concussion and lost two front teeth during the April 9 incident, which was recorded on video that went viral worldwide.

CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin this afternoon estimated the settlement to have been in the seven figures.
