Pole-Dancing Injury Prompts Lawsuit against New York Gym

Manhattan resident, Sue Ann Wee, was eager to try out aerobic striptease, a hot new form of exercise that is sweeping the nation's trendy gyms and fitness centers. However, her first experience in a pole-dancing class left the would-be dancer seriously injured. While learning a routine at a class in a New York-area Crunch fitness center, Wee slid off a pole and seriously injured her upper torso and shoulders. In the personal injury lawsuit she subsequently filed against the gym, Wee levels a number of charges against the owners and operators of the facility, including a lack of proper safety equipment and inadequate supervision and instruction.

The girl's mother filed a lawsuit seeking over $500,000 in damages in the case, noting that since the incident, Tanisha has suffered from pain and visual impairment.

Parents File Wrongful Death Suit against Fraternity in Kansas Alcohol Poisoning Case

Binge drinking on American college campuses has long been recognized as a rampant public safety issue, but some schools and student organizations still seem to have failed to implement appropriate prevention measures. In one recent tragedy, 19-year-old Kansas University student, Jason Wren, was found dead in his room at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house. In the wrongful death suit filed by Wren's parents, it was claimed that the fraternity, several fraternity members, and university officials negligently failed to incorporate stringent rules and oversight measures designed to prevent underage drinking and encourage responsible alcohol consumption.
