Physical therapy plays a dual role in personal injury cases — it promotes recovery and documents the ongoing nature and severity of your injuries. Here's how it affects settlement value in Texas.
How Physical Therapy Builds Case Value
Every PT visit creates a medical record documenting your symptoms, functional limitations, and treatment progress. This contemporaneous documentation is powerful evidence of the real-world impact of your injuries and supports higher non-economic damage awards.
The Treatment Gap Problem
Gaps in medical treatment — including stopping PT before reaching MMI — are one of the most common tactics used by defense attorneys to reduce settlement offers. CDF Law advises clients to complete all recommended treatment before evaluating settlement.
