Dao should get nothing for any injuries from fighting with security and making them drag him off of their airplane. It’s not his airplane and he had no property right in the seat. Having a ticket to be transported somewhere is not the same as renting an apartment. He had no legal right to exclude the lawful owners of the airplane from removing him for any reason whatsoever. In fact, if security suffered any injuries Dao should have to pay for those.
Should Dau get contractual damages from the fact that United did not honor his ticket and transport him to his destination? Maybe. It depends on whether United complied with all of the requirements of the contract of carriage before refusing to fly him to his destination on that particular flight. Even so, contract damages will be limited. Thousands, not millions.
According to United’s own Terms of Service, Dao had a legal right to that seat, and United had no legal basis to eject him. Munoz has admitted as much.
Dao didn’t “fight” with anyone. The three security persons who injured him were the sole aggressors.
You mean the 3 Chicago Dept of Aviation security officers whose actions were repudiated by the agency itself and who are now all on leave? Good luck with that!
Nope...sorry...wrong...
The POS should be charged with interfering with a flight crew and thrown in jail.
Amazing the number of mentally ill gorons here that sound like the left on bad acid. Corporations...bad. Cops...bad The Doctor was being oppressed by the system!! Stick it to them!! We shall overcome!!
Then these same morons b!tch about higher ticket prices and longer wait times and wonder how that happened...Astonishing knee-jerk stupidity. It’s no wonder our country is so farked up.
