A former CFO who has anxiety and depression following a traumatic brain injury from a car accident in 2007 is eligible for long-term disability benefits, a federal judge ruled.

Although Prudential Insurance Co. of America had argued that the former CFO suffers from mental illness that is unrelated to the trauma, which means that his disability benefits would be limited to two years, U.S. District Judge Joel Slomsky of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania was unconvinced by the doctors’ testimony that the company provided.
