Dr Dao (United Airlines victim) is still hospitalized

And has attorneys representing him.

And fellow passenger defends him:

Passenger Jason Powell said Dao was calm when asked to exit the plane.
"He was very polite, matter-of-fact," Powell said. "I could hear pretty clearly. He was acting appropriately annoyed. I was 100% with him — I wouldn't have gotten off the plane either."

Means injuries aren't minor. Yes there should be a lawsuit. Especially since fellow passengers say he was not belligerent.
