The firm's client was referred to a neuroendocrinologist experienced in the treatment of neuroendocrine disorders following traumatic brain injury. After conducting objective lab studies, the neuroendocrinologist determined that he suffered from severe growth hormone deficiency. The specialist concluded the deficiency was most likely caused by a disruption of the pituitary gland’s normal function following the brain injury.

Due to excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue following the injury, the firm's client was also referred to a pulmonologist and sleep specialist. After conducting objective sleep studies, the specialist concluded that Plaintiff suffered from post-traumatic hypersomnia, or excessive daytime sleepiness, from the traumatic brain injury.

The client was unable to continue working in the banking and financial services industries, where he had worked most of his adult life, due to the difficulties he experienced as a result of his various diagnoses.

The firm’s client's past medical expenses were approximately $220,000. A life care planner and treating brain injury medicine doctor concluded that his future care needs were likely to be between $2—$3 million. It was estimated that his lost earnings totaled $430,000.

Following a mediation with Michael E. Harman, Esq. of The McCammon Group, the case settled for $5 million several weeks before trial. The Mottley Law Firm co-counseled this matter with Jonathan Wren and Bob Byrne of the Charlottesville law firm, MartinWren.
