FineWineDiva 7343 Report post Posted October 15, 2010 Man injured in lap dance awarded $650,000 A Palm Beach, Fla., man has been awarded $650,000 after he sued a local nightclub where he was injured by a stripper's shoe during a lap dance. Michael Ireland was getting a lap dance at Cheetah Club in West Palm Beach in 2008 when the woman's heel poked him in the eye, NBC Miami reported Thursday. The heel punctured Ireland's eye socket and broke bones around his eye and nose. Ireland, a roofer, has experienced double vision ever since, lawyer Lake Lytal told the Palm Beach Post. "When this case was first filed, many people criticized it simply because it occurred at a strip club," Lytal told the media after the settlement was reached Thursday. "But we feel the $650,000 settlement goes to show that this was a serious case with serious injuries." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TGirl-Kay 7485 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 Food for thought. I've heard of SPs accidentally hurting clients in the bed room. When I ran my last business I had a million in liability insurance, and now when I work on some ones leather I make sure I have enough money banked to cover the most expencive gear that I'll be working on. I wounder if business insurance would cover an independent escort? Here's hopeing that none of us ever have to find out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
