CHICAGO, April 27 -- A passenger, who was violently dragged off an overbooked United flight has reached a settlement with the airline, his lawyer said on Thursday.
Thomas Demetrio, a prominent Chicago attorney representing the 69-year-old David Dao, said in a news release that "the United has taken full responsibility for what happened on Fight 3411" on April 9.
He didn't disclose the sum, which should "remain confidential" as agreed by the two sides.
