An Omaha man faces a lifetime of challenges after being hit by an uninsured driver. One of the biggest is how to pay for his therapy and ‘round-the-clock care.

Anthony Cato Jr. used to walk the halls of the Douglas County Courthouse as a security official. Monday, he was wheeled into court seeking restitution for his mounting hospital bills. "My insurance only covers $50,000."

In September, Cato was driving home from work when a driver ran a red light and smashed into his SUV.

Cato's life was spared, but his neck was broken. "I've been changed from a pure quadriplegic to a partial quadriplegic, but it's up to me to keep working and fighting to get better."

Cato wants Leslie Wyland to pay for that care. She's the owner of the car that crashed into Cato. She let the insurance lapse for a fourth time.

Her son was driving the car and faces his own charges. Cato hopes the court will make Wyland help with his medical bills.

Wyland's attorney says her fast-food job won't allow her to pay much restitution. "She can't afford to pay Mr. Cato's bills, which are just unfortunately astronomical," says lawyer Timothy Mikulicz.

Wyland plead "no contest" to the insurance charge and was sentenced to 90 days, a $100 fine and restitution of $5,000. Cato's bills are already approaching $200,000.

Cato was also hoping for was an apology. "The one thing I was disappointed in, even though it was a late admission I didn't really get an apology, but I have closure now and I can move forward and I'm looking forward to that."

Wyland's son, 20-year-old John Kuklinski, will be in court Wednesday to face a DUI charge related to the accident.
