Paralyzed man still waiting for settlement after 19 years

Read storyNineteen years after a car crash left him paralyzed, Daniel Williams is still waiting for the money awarded to him from the man who hit him.

Although Williams was supposed to receive $318,000 from driver Mario Bowe, Bowe has never appeared in court for proceedings that would determine his assets.

Bowe's lawyer said he has never received any court documents and so the matter should be dismissed.

William's attorney read several affidavits which indicated that Bowe was served several times, including an occasion where documents were thrown at his feet after he refused to take them.

Bowe also told the court that he has $1,000 to his name.

The case continues on June 22.
