Passenger dragged off United flight plans legal action

The man dragged off a United Airlines flight in an incident that sparked an international uproar suffered a broken nose and concussion, his lawyer said, adding that he is planning to sue. David Dao has been released from the hospital, attorney Thomas Demetrio said at a news conference on Thursday during which a member of Dao's family spoke out for the first time. Dao's lawyers filed a petition in court requesting that the city, which operates O'Hare International Airport, and United Airlines preserve evidence related to the incident. They also said a lawsuit was forthcoming. "This lawsuit, among other things, hopefully, will create a not just national discussion, but international discussion, on how we're going to be treated going forward," Demetrio said.
