According to Dao's attorney, Thomas Demetrio, the two parties reached an "amicable settlement" for the injuries his client received when he was violently removed from United Airlines Flight 3411 on April 9.
Both parties have agreed to keep the value of the settlement confidential.
In a statement, Demetrio praised United CEO Oscar Munoz.
"Mr. Munoz said he was going to do the right thing, and he has," Demetrio said. "In addition, United Airlines taken full responsibility for what happened on Flight 3411, without attempting to blame others, including the City of Chicago."
"For this acceptance of corporate accountability, United is to be applauded."
As a result of the incident involving Dr. Dao, United Airlines has instituted a host of policy changes aimed at preventing a recurrence of such a disturbing event.
