New York Physical Therapy License Defense Lawyers

Physical therapy is a vital part of the recovery process from injury. There are thousands of different physical therapists in the New York area. As the population continues to age, this profession will grow in popularity and importance. Students who graduate into this field can earn a great living right out of school. However, there are several ways in which this career field can be difficult. One of those ways is when a physical therapist is accused of professional misconduct by the Office of Professional Conduct (OPD). There are many different ways this can happen, but what is important is choosing a license defense lawyer who has your best interests in mind. Here are several things to keep in mind about choosing a physical therapy license defense lawyer in the New York area.

How New York Physical Therapists Can Be Accused of Professional Misconduct

Physical therapy is the practice of getting a person back to full health after an injury or an accident. There are thousands of people in New York who go through physical therapy without any problems. However, there are a small percentage of people who experience problems during the process. Anyone who is in this position knows how difficult it can be to deal with. Sometimes these problems are due to the health of the patient, and sometimes these problems can be traced back to the physical therapist. Unhappy patients may file complaints with the OPD regarding the level of treatment they received.

Others sources of disciplinary complaints could be competitors or other government agencies. In New York, the statute defines what is considered professional misconduct. The list is very long and includes about 40 various types of conducts. If a licensed professional is accused of any one them, there is a danger of facing a disciplinary action.

If you find yourself in this situation, it is vital to get some solid legal counsel. Our firm has represented hundreds of clients before the Office of Professional Discipline, including numerous physical therapists. One general advise we give all our clients is that they must seek competent legal assistance as soon as they discover that they are targets of an investigation. As a licensee, you have a duty to cooperate with the state investigation but you have no duty to make any statements. Seeking the right help at the right time can have a tremendous effect on the outcome of your case.
