Which the person(s) causing the injury would still be liable to assault charges and or being sued.
The force used has to proportionate to the reason for removal. I'd say a passenger losing two front teeth, suffering concussion and having his nose broken was not proportionate to the circumstances and that was, Dr Dao being told his seat was needed for a crew member, a seat he paid for.
Also, you say he was Aggressive? I saw no aggression. He was expressing his right to resist. I would do the same. Anyway, CEO has admitted wrong doing now so, case is pretty in favour of Dr Dao and so it should be.
