This case involved a 21 year-old college student whose promising career as a concert pianist was cut short by multiple injuries suffered from a rear-end collision in Somerville, Massachusetts. The automobile accident in which she was involved caused a chronic myofacial pain syndrome in the client's neck and right shoulder, and triggered a seizure disorder from the head injuries she sustained. The client struggled valiantly to finish college and to continue with her career as a musician, but she could no longer meet the physical demands of the hours of practice required of a concert pianist. As a result of the collision, she suffered from lapses in concentration, disorientation, spells of losing time and "blacking out," and ultimately from tonic/chronic type seizures. The medications our client had to take for her seizure disorder further hampered her musical abilities, and posed an increased risk to her for giving birth to a normal child in the future.

On October 1, 2001 BAVB opened for business at our new Portsmouth location, 55 Congress Street, Suite B, in the heart of downtown Portsmouth. Previously located at 2204 Woodbury Avenue in Newington, our seacoast office's new location already has proven to be more convenient and easily accessible for our clients in the area. Our local Portsmouth telephone and fax numbers remain the same after the move: Tel (603) 431-3500, Fax (603) 430-9920.
