Tj, do you know how much a legal battle, even a small one, COSTS? Upwards of 15K, for a dinky deal.

I do hope that she can settle by just paying his medical charges.

Is he only suing for the medical costs?  If so, she should pay it.  I completely understand the anger, as I own a day spa and am groped at least once a week.  I've had clients grab my tush/chest, try to kiss me- one even tried to remove my scrubs. Terminate the session immediately, call the police if you must.  No matter how much you'd like to hit him in the throat with a fire extinguisher, it isn't considered self defense.

Crap, what kind of day spa has those issues???

• do we guarantee they'll leave "happy"
• if our "girls" give massages in the nude
• "Are facials what I think they are?"
• if "full body massage" means fullllll body massage
• if they can give us massages instead
• if they can watch while a sexy therapist works on their wives, preferably while both are nude
• if we offer COMPLETE stress relief

Well, if ya really wanna play hardball, you charge him with sexual assault first-have the law show up at his place of work or home and arrest him. That's a real shot across the prow.
Course, at that point, he'll file battery charges and then things can begin to get really ugly

But the question is what's best for her in the long run, so she needs to do a cost/benefit analysis. Countersuing costs money-lawyers ain't cheap. And barracuda's charge thousands per hour.

Not to mention the damage she is doing to her reputation, professional and otherwise.
What's a broken hand cost-a few thousand? That would probably be cheaper in the long run than the legal machinations.
Pay, learn something about controlling your temper and the price for failing to do so, consider it a slightly expensive lesson (Hey-I've learned million dollar lessons in my life), cut the losses and move on. That's my feedback.

If it were me, i would find the best baracuda lawyer i could and countersue the prick for sexual assault.. And doesnt a person have the right to defend themselves when they are assaulted? isnt that what she was doing? Imo, she really does need the best lawyer she can find.. not that he/she will be cheap either.. Did this guy call the cops about it? where charges laid against her? If not,.. then that just seems odd to me..

I am guessing she has assets or the guy wouldnt be suing her in the first place.. People that have been around the block usually have their assets protected so suing is pointless.. but the time to do that is well before any lawsuits occur..

I guess it depends on how many millions this guy is suing for in the first place.. She may be trying to settle as we speak (since the OP has said "why does she have to pay?") I really dont know.. people in the US have been known to go a tad overboard.. like the guy that sued his drycleaner for something like a million bucks cuz his pants were damaged.. or the time McDonalds was sued cuz their coffee was too hot.. If he is one of those types then he might not want to settle or be reasonable about it..

Makes you wonder what business insurance would run for a pro-domme...An interesting question.
I have friends who do real serious X-game type sports that can't get coverage due to risk, I wonder of BDSM falls into that category.
Though that wouldn't matter in this case. She assaulted him, so most likely insurance wouldn't cover damages. That's all personal liability stuff there

Thanks I will be honest I probably should have explained it in more detail though this wasn't some innocent feeling up he did according to her he pretty much attacked her because he had her against a wall she head butted him and started punching him in the face repeatedly until he lost consciousness now at that point she was really pissed off so she slammed her spiked heel into his hand. Anybody still think she over reacted?

I think I would flee for the hills and never, ever seen this woman again.
I also find my sympathies a whole lot more for the guy. Was he as moron-of course. But talk about an overkill response....
Yeah-he needs to sue..

Teeheehee-he got snot kicked by a goooooiiiiiwwwwllllll.
