Woods' restaurant denies wrongdoing in wrongful death suit

Attorneys representing Tiger Woods’ South Florida restaurant and his girlfriend, Erica Herman, filed a motion on Monday requesting a jury trial and denying any wrongdoing in a wrongful death lawsuit filed in May.

The lawsuit was filed by the family of Nicholas Immesberger, who died in a car crash on Dec. 10. Immesberger stayed hours after his shift at The Woods Jupiter to drink and reached a point of “severe intoxication.”

In Monday’s response, lawyers for the restaurant and Herman point out that, according to a toxicology report, Immesberger’s blood contained “five times the reporting limit” of marijuana and his blood-alcohol level was three times the legal limit in Florida.
