The other defendants in the case remain. The
family of Nicholas Immesberger, 24, a bartender at The Woods in
Jupiter, Fla., filed the lawsuit in the wake of his death late
last year in a car crash after he had apparently been drinking
heavily at the restaurant after his shift ended.
Woods' attorney, Barry Postman, wrote that the Immesberger
estate dropped the golfer from the lawsuit because, despite the
restaurant's name, Woods doesn't own the place.
Excluding Woods "was clearly appropriate and reflected the fact
that Mr. Woods should not have been included in the lawsuit in
the first place because he had nothing to do with Mr.
Immesberger's death," according to a written statement from
Postman.
Attempts to reach Spencer Kuvin, an attorney for the estate,
were unsuccessful Monday, according to the South Florida Sun
Sentinel.
Immesberger's parents alleged in their filing that their son had
a "habitual problem" with alcohol, which was known to the
restaurant's staff, and he had been overserved.
After ending his shift on Dec. 10, 2018, Immesberger allegedly
stuck around and drank to the point of intoxication before he
left the restaurant. He later died after losing control of his
car and swerved across three lanes of highway traffic before
going airborne and landing in a grassy patch, according to the
Florida Highway Patrol, per the Palm Beach Post at the time.
At the time of the crash, Immesberger's reported blood alcohol
level was more than three times the legal limit at .256.
