$350,000 Physical Therapy Negligence

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.
