The "Toxic" singer sued eight insurance companies for refusing to reimburse her $9.8 million for her canceled Onyx Hotel Tour last year. The suit was filed Friday in New York State Supreme Court.

The insurers, seven of which are based in London and the other in Paris, are balking at paying the claim because Spears forgot to check a box on a standard insurance form regarding preexisting injuries.

Apparently, Spears didn't recall that she had knee surgery five years prior to embarking on the tour, described in court documents as "a highly crafted production which included the well known music an dancing of Spears, supported by elaborate costumes, complex choreography as well as cutting edge video production, lighting and other effects," according to court papers printed on the Website for Celebrity Justice, which first reported the suit. Spears had to cancel the U.S. summer leg of the 82-date worldwide tour after blowing out her knee.

Spears' lawyer refer to the memory lapse as an "innocent omission." In the lawsuit, Team Spears says Brit was cleared before the tour by an independent doctor (who, for the curious out there, pronounced her "in sound health and free from disease" and "in a fit condition to tour"). Then, after tweaking her knee last spring, her lawyers say Spears was cleared by the insurers' doctor, who, the suit says, reported the new injury was not related to the old injury.
