Tiger Woods named in wrongful-death lawsuit by family of man who died in DUI crash.
The family of a man who worked as a bartender at Tiger Woods' flagship restaurant in Florida has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the 15-time Major winner, his girlfriend and the restaurant.
The lawsuit was filed on Monday. Lawyers for the family held a news conference on Tuesday during which they said that on the day he died, Immesberger had worked a lunch shift and then spent three hours drinking at the bar, called The Woods, before setting off for home. His family says that he was served alcohol to the point of"severe intoxication."
The family's attorneys also claim that video showing Immesberger drinking at the restaurant's bar after work on the night he died had been destroyed. "Tiger, Erica and The Woods staff all knew that Nick had a disease. He was addicted to alcohol," said Craig Goldenfarb, another lawyer for the family, during the news conference.
