Alabama Stripper Awarded $100,000 After Her Former Employers Let Her Drive Drunk After Work
A former stripper at an Alabama club called The Furnace received a jury award in the amount of $100,000 following a lawsuit in which she claimed her employers let her drive drunk following a shift at the club. Patsy Hamaker sued the club for $1.2 million following a drunk driving accident that left her with a broken back and nose.
According to testimony in the trial, Hamaker had a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit following a stint in one of the club’s VIP rooms. The trial, which lasted four days, featured testimony from one of the club’s top dancers when it comes to selling drinks to patrons and a claim that the club’s management did confiscate Hamaker’s keys but they were unable to produce those keys at trial. Hamaker claimed the club disregarded its own safety rules and that led to her injuries
