Tiger facing wrongful death lawsuit.

I don’t know how I feel about this. At what point do people have to take some personal accountability??
Tiger Woods and the general manager of Woods’ Florida restaurant face a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the parents of a 24-year-old bartender of the Jupiter establishment.
Nicholas Immesberger had an estimated blood alcohol concentration of 0.28 — more than three times the legal limit — when he died after his 1999 Chevrolet Corvette left the roadway. The lawsuit filed in Palm Beach County on Monday alleges Immesberger was over-served for about three hours after his shift at The Woods concluded, before the fatal crash.
Immesberger had a history of alcohol abuse, and the lawsuit alleges “Tiger knew, or reasonably should have known, that Immesberger was habitually addicted to the use of any or all alcoholic beverages, and/or was a habitual drunkard.”
While the lawsuit alleges, "Tiger is individually liable in this action because he individually participated in the serving of alcohol," that doesn’t mean Woods served — or was even at The Woods — that day. Woods, under state alcohol laws, potentially could be held liable as an owner of the establishment even if he wasn’t physically at the venue if a foreseeable risk of injury or death occurs due to over-serving somebody with a known history of alcohol abuse issue.
"The employees and management at The Woods had direct knowledge that Immesberger had a habitual problem with alcohol," the lawsuit read. "In fact, employees and managers knew that Immesberger had attended Alcoholic Anonymous meetings prior to the night of his crash and was attempting to treat his disease. Despite this, the employees and management at The Woods continued to serve Immesberger alcohol while he was working as well as after work, while he sat at the bar."

His place of employment was serving him alcohol on and off the clock and something bad happened? Not terribly shocked there would be some liability issues depending on the particulars

So his history alcohol abuse was on his resume for bartending?
A drunk bartender. Go figure.

Good luck with that

That’s not far off. Look at what big tobacco has lost in suits for causing cancer in, wait for it, life long smokers.
Lack of personal responsibility is going to be the downfall of society as we know it.

lived in Jupiter for a number of years, everyone there has been to rehab, is on their way to rehab, or will eventually go to rehab, bartender is a typical job for someone with no education or skills
