Physical therapy is a vital component of many healthcare regimens, aimed at restoring function, improving mobility, and reducing pain. However, when physical therapists fail to provide the expected standard of care, it can lead to negligence.
Client’s case
A disabled child was injured when a physical therapist used a specialized technique practiced only by a handful of therapists in the United States. The child’s leg was broken. The therapist claimed that the technique used was properly applied. He argued that the child’s pre-existing disability made her susceptible to fractures and that medical records showed that the child returned to her preexisting condition within 8 months. The case settled after depositions.
