An accident occurred on November 16, 2002. The accident caused major injuries to a man for which he received a great deal of money.
On the night of the car accident, Gabriel Framowitz, 57 at the time, and his wife Esther were coming home from a wedding. As they walked across 16th Avenue to their automobile, a police car hit them. Officer Byron Chow drove the police car. After the accident, Esther avoided injury but Gabriel suffered severely. He splintered his shoulder and his leg and experienced head wounds and brain damage.
After these terrible injuries, Framowitz, now 62, was unable to work- he was a salesman. He also suffers from short-term memory loss and mood swings.
