I work at a small Midwest ID firm doing mostly MVAs for an Insurance Carrier. Currently have a case where where plaintiff is claiming extensive lost wages from missing tips from working as a bartender/waitress. Place of employment is a strip club, I got a feeling she’s a dancer not a bartender or waitress. But it got me wondering has anyone ran into someone claiming lost wages or revenue from being an OF creator and not being able to crate content due to injury?

I wasn’t personally involved in the claim, but my office handled a cases for a successful model who sued after she was allegedly bitten by bedbugs. She claimed loss of earnings (past and future). In any event, Pltf has the burden of proof.

Doubt she pays her taxes. Get aggressive with that lost wage claim and subpoena everything. Demand will drop once she realizes you won’t give up

Repped a similar establishment once. In most states those tips are taxable, and either the club takes a cut of the tips or charges rent to the performer for use of the space, like how salons often rent out the chair to the hairdresser. Check state tax law on tips.. There should be 1099s.
