Stripper Falls Off Pole, Gets Worker’s Comp.

Who knew shaking your ass and swinging on a pole could be so dangerous? Angela Hobson found out that if you get a twinge when you shake your money-maker, you can still get paid.

I guess she will sell her huge clear shoes on Ebay?

From the AP here:

An Indiana appeals court upheld a worker’s compensation award Tuesday for an exotic dancer who was injured while performing on a pole at a strip club.

The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Angela Hobson and ordered the state Worker’s Compensation Board to determine if she was entitled to double compensation.

Hobson claimed she suffered neck pain and numbness after injuring herself while dancing at the Shangri-La West club in Fort Wayne on Dec. 20, 2001. She underwent surgery for a herniated disc in her cervical spine, according to court records.

In 2006, the compensation board awarded her temporary total disability benefits and other compensation totaling more than $10,000.

No word on whether or not the state will pay her in one dollar bills. And to determine if she is eligible for double, the state worker’s comp examiner has to take her in the exclusive back room for twenty minutes.

I’m sure she has a kid at home and is behind on her payments on her huge fake boobs. But ten grand isn’t much, especially when you factor in payments on a coke habit. She may not be able to strip anymore, but there is always that waitress job at Hooters, and that shot at stardom on American Idol or whatever reality TV show attention whores flock to. Maybe the next Rock of Love?
