United Airlines' reputation has taken a bruising since Sunday, when police forcibly removed a passenger from a flight in Chicago that the company initially said was overbooked. But will the airline face legal challenges as a result of the incident?
Aviation attorney David Katzman, with Katzman Lampert & McClune, believes the passenger, David Dao, has “every right to bring legal action.”
Dao has retained Chicago personal injury lawyer Thomas Demetrio, according to media reports. Demetrio was not immediately available for comment.
