In October, a Florida man won a $650,000 judgment (yes, I said $650,000) against the Cheetah strip club, after being struck in the face by a dancer's shoe. He claims to have suffered broken bones and chronic double-vision after the shoe made contact with his eye.
Seems as if the $650,000 judgment has given hope to other unfortunate strip club patrons...An Ohio man has filed a $25,000 lawsuit for injuries he claims to have sustained from a high kick gone wrong - the dancer's boot flew off and him in the face. As a result, he says he had to undergo nose surgery because he could only breath out of one nostril.
An Indiana man is also claiming to be a victim of a stripper shoe assault while frequenting PT's Showclub. He claims he was standing about 20 feet away from the stage when a dancer's shoe flew off and struck him in the mouth. According to his lawyer, he had to get veneers and temporary caps because the shoe chipped four teeth. He says he may even need a root canal.
Other litigants have not been so successful with their cases. In the late 90's, a physical therapist from Florida sued the Diamond Dolls club for $15,000, for injuries he says he sustained after being hit in the face by Playboy cover girl Tawny Peaks' size-69HH breasts. The case was eventually aired on "The People's Court", where former New York mayor Ed Koch presided over the televised trial. Judge Koch eventually ruled in favor of Ms. Peaks, after a female court officer examined Peaks' breasts in private and determined they were too soft to have caused the alleged injuries.
Several other personal injury cases have been filed against strip clubs, almost all of them involving platform shoes. So, next time you decide to frequent a strip club, watch out for flying shoes!
