The plaintiff began working in 2008 as an employee of a company engaged in providing garbage removal services. His job was to drive and operate a crane truck that collects clippings from the streets of the city of Gan Yavne.

In December 2020, during another working day, he suddenly felt an intense pain that pierced his neck. A lawyer filed a lawsuit on his behalf, claiming that it was a work accident that he suffered. The National Insurance Institute stated that the condition of the aforementioned person does not result from an accident but from a "natural" medical condition.
