SAIGH LAW, P.L.L.C.

Stephen Chang, a securities trader, filed a lawsuit against the Hot Lap Dance Club near Madison Square Garden in Manhattan claiming an injury that happened when a stripper performing a lap dance on him smacked him in the face with her shoe. In court papers, he claims he was at alone and paid for a lap dance when the accident occurred. According to the lawsuit, the dancer swung around and the heel of her shoe hit him in the eye, causing “serious injuries.”

Chang was at the club around 1 a.m. on Nov. 2, 2007 when the injury occurred, according to the suit filed in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court. His lawyer, Stephan Persoff, said Chang is married and in his early 30s. He declined to give the name of the brokerage firm where Chang works.

A manager of the Hot Lap Dance Club said he was unaware of the accident or the lawsuit and the club’s lawyer, Stephen Ateshoglou, refused to comment on the incident. The club describes its space at 38th Street and Ninth Avenue as the “Playboy Mansion of Manhattan party lofts.” Admission is $50.00 plus a one-time club membership fee of $10.00 for first time club goers. Lap dances cost around $40.00. The club claims that they “hand pick” performers that have “killer bodies” and are aged between 18 and 29.
