Los Angeles, CA, Friday April 28, 2017 -(TerraUS, mhUSA)-
Dr. David Dao, the subject of the now infamous video showing him being dragged from his seat and off a plane, has reached a settlement with United Airlines after a weeks-long public relations nightmare for the company, lawyers said Thursday.

Dao reached an ʻʻamicable settlementʼʼ with the airline for the injuries he received as result of the April 9 incident, which is attorney said included two lost teeth, a broken nose and a ʻʻsignificantʼʼ concussion. The amount of the settlement would remain undisclosed, according to the terms of the settlement, Dao ' s attorney said in a statement.

Attorney Thomas Demetrio announced the undisclosed settlement on Thursday afternoon, hours after the airline announced the new policies to prevent such an incident from happening again.

Demetrio, in a burst of ethical brown nosing offered ' praise ' for United CEO Oscar Munoz in the statement, saying: ʻʻMr. Munoz said he was going to do the right thing, and he has.ʼʼ

ʻʻIn addition, United has taken full responsibility for what happened on Flight 3411, without attempting to blame others, including the City of Chicago,ʼʼ he said in the statement. ʻʻFor this acceptance of corporate accountability, United is to be applauded.ʼʼ

David Dao, 69, was caught on video being dragged out of his seat and off a flight at an airport in Chicago after he had been randomly selected as one of four passengers to be removed from the plane. Earlier, the crew had tried to entice volunteers to give up their seats with $800 in travel credits, but had no takers.

The airline had said it wanted to make room for staff who were heading to Louisville to be in place for a morning flight.

Chicago Department of Aviation officers forcibly grabbed Dao from the cabin, leaving him bloodied and injured, Demetrio said. At least four law enforcement officers have been placed on leave following the April 9 incident.

But Demetrio told NBC News, ʻʻno one else in the entire world is going to be sued by Dr. Dao.ʼʼ

ʻʻUnited has stepped up to the plate and hit a homerun,ʼʼ he added
