There's no way this guy didn't get at least a million. Given his injuries and how quickly it was settled he had to. No reason for he and his lawyer to settle this quickly unless United made them an offer "they couldn't refuse."

Totally agree with Strike. No way the dude's attorney doesn't press for a jury trial (and a HUGE potential award) unless there's a monster payout for both of them.

Or maybe his attorneys don't want to risk putting his past troubles and character out there for a jury?

I got an email from united today. Their customer service pledge garbage. Will be flying them across the pacific again soon. Ugh.

Why the ugh? The long flight or United?

No one else in the entire world is going to be sued by Dr. Dao, said the attorney, who has been involved in several high-profile personal-injury settlements. United has stepped up to the plate and hit a home run"

 

One of many flattering quotes about United from his lawyer.

Th flight in general. This will be my third time across pacific. All on united. I don't have any beef with them in particular. They are no sh!ttier than any other airline I've flown.

In my experience, United has the worst International flights.

Publically humiliated to go along with a few hundred thousand.

After looking into his attorney, I'm saying millions.

How much would you award the good Dr.?

$10,000 and he can never fly on United again.

Must build in the cost to buy seats away from overbooked passengers and copycat snowflakes who sue.

The majority of the settlement, say 30-40%, should go to whoever took the video. No video = nobody cares. :mellow:

Or how about you stop overbooking the focking flights?

 

You have x seats, you sell x seats. And if your exec needs to travel, he can focking wait until there is an empty seat. After all, the customer does come first.
