I dont think we should underestimate the complexities of the legal issues at play here.

I would imagine there could be several lawsuits involving the airline (who the pax likely had the contract with), the other airline operator and the city or police.

Each may want to sue the other, and thats before we get to the plaintiff who was subjected to the removal.

From watching the live steam of the lawyers, it seemed their focus was the Dr's serious injuries. Although there did seem to be interest in 'changing the industry' as a result of this incident. Its worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
