Perhaps the Peelers should consider getting malpractice insurance. :

Man injured in lap dance awarded $650,000
By QMI AGENCY
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."
