FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – Tiger Woods, along with his girlfriend Erica Herman and his South Florida restaurant The Woods Jupiter, has been named in a wrongful death suit following the death of Nicholas F. Immesberger, who worked at Woods’ restaurant.
The lawsuit was filed on Monday in Martin County and alleges that Immesberger was served excessive amounts of alcohol prior to the employee’s death in a car crash on Dec. 10, 2018.
Immesberger’s blood alcohol level was .256, more than three times the legal limit, at the time of the accident. According to the lawsuit, Herman, the manager of The Woods Jupiter, recruited the 24-year-old to be a bartender at Woods’ restaurant despite having knowledge of his history of alcohol abuse.
The lawsuit also alleges that, “Tiger is individually liable in this action because he individually participated in the serving of alcohol to Immesberger.”
Attorneys for Immesberger's family, who filed the lawsuit and are seeking more than $15,000 in damages, are holding a news conference at 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday, the same time that Woods is scheduled to meet with the media at the PGA Championship.
