Scotland Yard has agreed an out-of-court settlement with the family of Ian Tomlinson who died after the G20 protests in 2009.
The Metropolitan Police has confirmed it has reached a deal with Mr Tomlinson's relatives and apologised again but gave no details of the compensation.
Mr Tomlinson, 47, was hit with a baton and shoved by Pc Simon Harwood during the demonstrations in the City of London and later collapsed and died.
His widow Julia said the apology was "as close as we are going to get to justice" and that the family can "finally start looking to the future again".
Pc Simon Harwood She described the last four years as the family fought to get to the truth as "a really hard uphill battle".
In its statement, Scotland Yard paid tribute to the family for enduring the pain of Mr Tomlinson's death "with dignity".
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Maxine de Brunner said: "I take full responsibility for the actions of Simon Harwood on 1 April 2009.
"His actions fell far below the standard we expect from our officers. I accept the finding of the inquest that Mr Tomlinson was unlawfully killed.
"As the jury found, 'at the time of the strike and push Mr Tomlinson was walking away from the police line. He was complying with police instructions to leave Royal Exchange Buildings. He posed no threat'.
"Today, I apologise unreservedly for Simon Harwood's use of excessive and unlawful force, which caused Mr Tomlinson's death, and for the suffering and distress caused to his family as a result."
