Aaron F. was on his way to work when he was rear ended, causing a mild brain injury. He had cognitive difficulties, memory issues, fatigue, and a few months after the crash, a drop in his energy levels combined with becoming overly emotional. When he came to BILS, he had not had a full clinical workup for his brain injury or for any other issues arising from the brain injury. BILS arranged for him to be seen by a top notch treating endocrinologist, who diagnosed low testosterone from damage to the pituitary as a result of the head injury. At the age of 35, his body was no longer able to produce testosterone, which is important for developing muscle mass, having physical energy, maintaining a libido, and many other biological functions. As a result of the testosterone deficiency, he will be required to inject testosterone weekly in order to maintain healthy bodily functions. He will also be stuck with permanent cognitive impairments.

Despite all of this, Aaron continued to try to keep working as a police officer, determined not to let the defendant’s negligence take his job away from him as they had his health, because he loved his job.

The defendants hired a defense neuropsychologist who tried to portray his problems as a psychological one related to the stress of being a police officer, and would only offer $100,000. Fortunately, the jury was able to see right through this ruse after hearing from his wife, his endocrinologist several other witnesses and coworkers testify. Aaron received a verdict of $1,700,000 for what the defense took away from him.
