I hope lawyer David Baum doesn't attend any WCS Dance Convention because he
could file a new lawsuit every other week.  Ha ha ha!!

Chicago Suit Charges 'Negligent Dancing'

CHICAGO - A woman is suing her dance partner, claiming he dropped her on her
head after flipping her into the air at an office party.

Lacey Hindman, 22, was a victim of "negligent dancing," says her lawyer,
David M. Baum.

In the suit, Hindman claims that during a party at a Chicago bar and
restaurant in April 2006, David Prange grabbed her by the forearms and
tossed her in the air, and then she crashed to the wood floor.

"I was in the air, over him," Hindman said. "I fell hard enough you could
hear the impact of me hitting the floor over the sound from the jukebox."

Hindman said in the suit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, that she
suffered a fractured skull and brain injuries. She is seeking damages for
medical bills and lost wages for time missed from work.

Hindman worked for Prange's wife, Kate Prange, at Shop Girl, a women's
boutique.

There was no immediate response to a call seeking comment from David Prange
on Tuesday.
