Tiger Woods’ girlfriend, Erica Herman, became the latest person to be dismissed from a wrongful-death lawsuit involving a former employee at a Jupiter, Fla., restaurant in which Woods is an investor.

According to multiple reports, Herman was removed from the lawsuit filed in May by the family of Nicholas Immesberger, a bartender at The Woods Jupiter who died in a car accident on Dec. 10, 2018, after leaving the restaurant. Police said Immesberger’s blood-alcohol level was three times the legal limit at the time of the fatal crash.

The lawsuit claims fellow employees continued to serve Immesberger alcohol despite knowing he was a recovering alcoholic. It also contends Woods and Herman, the restaurant’s general manager, drank with the 24-year-old nights before the crash.

Woods was dropped from the lawsuit in June. Woods Jupiter Inc. remains a defendant in the case.

“We’re all very sad that Nick passed away,” Woods said in May after news of the lawsuit became public. “It was a terrible night, a terrible ending, and we feel bad for him and his entire family. It’s very sad.”
