BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A Jefferson County jury has awarded a
former stripper $100,000 in a lawsuit in which she claimed the club
that employed her failed to stop her from driving home after her
on-the-job drinking.
Patsy Hamaker of Bessemer was injured in a wreck after leaving
work at The Furnace on Oct. 17, 2007. She says she can no longer
dance because of her injuries.
Hamaker said the club disregarded its own safety rules when it
let her drive home that night. Attorneys for the club argued that
employees tried to keep Hamaker from driving away.
The Birmingham News reports that the jury award made Tuesday is
for compensatory damages. No punitive damages were awarded.
