OMAHA, Neb. — A complex lawsuit against Club 180, alleging wrongful death alongside various other crimes, has expanded with increasing plaintiffs, including one who claims her husband’s death was directly linked to the negligence of the establishment. Originally filed on April 1, this lawsuit also accuses the club of labor law breaches, sex trafficking, theft, and drug trafficking, highlighting a deep-seated culture of illegality purportedly thriving within Club 180 and associated venues.
Evan Spencer, the lawyer steering the plaintiffs through this legal battle, emphasized the severity and breadth of the grievances against the club. “In my lengthy career, I’ve rarely encountered a case so fraught with clear, compelling evidence right from its inception,” Spencer noted. He underscored that their evidence suggests a pattern of criminal behavior by several individuals, spanning owners and staff of Club 180, and extending to other local establishments such as the Krush Ultra Lounge.
The lawsuit paints a grim picture of the environment at Club 180, including allegations of illegal gambling sessions involving drugs and exploitation of dancers. The legal documents accuse the club and its affiliates of creating a dangerous and unlawful space. Tony Pham, owner of Krush Ultra Lounge, denies all allegations, claiming them to be unfounded slanders and asserting his intention to counteract legally.
The recent incorporation of a wrongful death claim into the lawsuit adds a devastating human element to the case. According to Spencer, this addition came after a woman contacted him through Facebook with her tragic story. Her husband, 35-year-old Gordon Brummel, reportedly faced fatal consequences after being heavily intoxicated and potentially drugged at Club 180. He was involved in a severe car accident shortly after leaving the club and succumbed to his injuries two days later.
The lawsuit details the night leading up to Brummel’s death, alleging that he was served an excessive amount of alcohol by a dancer who also introduced an unknown substance into his drink. Following this, Brummel, impaired and unwell, was allowed to drive — a decision the lawsuit claims demonstrates the club’s gross negligence.
In response to these allegations, the owner of Club 180 contested the claims, particularly highlighting that the club does not serve alcohol, thereby dismissing the possibility of over-serving guests. Despite these assertions, Spencer conveyed that he has provided pertinent evidence to local law enforcement and is prepared to pursue further legal actions should Club 180 continue its operations.
As this legal storm continues to gather strength, the community and authorities wait eagerly to see the outcomes of the investigations and the potential implications for the future of Club 180 and associated establishments.
As the case unfolds, the question remains not just about the future of these clubs but the legal and moral standards businesses owe to the communities they serve. The widow of Gordon Brummel seems doggedly determined to uncover the truth and ensure such negligence does not harm another family.
