How does physical therapy affect my personal injury settlement?

Physical therapy impacts your personal injury settlement by providing essential evidence of your injuries and commitment to recovery, ultimately increasing your settlement amount by highlighting the severity and effects of your injuries.

What happens if I miss a physical therapy session?

Missing a physical therapy session can jeopardize your treatment progress and raise concerns with insurers about the validity of your injuries, potentially impacting your settlement. Prioritize attending sessions and keep your lawyer informed about any absences.

How can I maximize my settlement if I've missed physical therapy sessions?

To maximize your settlement after missing physical therapy sessions, clearly communicate the reasons for the missed appointments to your lawyer and ensure you achieve maximum medical improvement before finalizing your claim. Taking these steps will strengthen your position during negotiations.

What are non-economic damages, and how do they relate to physical therapy?

Non-economic damages refer to compensation for pain, suffering, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life. In physical therapy cases, documentation from therapy sessions can be crucial in proving these damages and potentially increasing compensation.

Why is documenting physical therapy progress important?

Documenting physical therapy progress is crucial as it substantiates injury claims and demonstrates the extent of injuries and recovery, potentially resulting in a higher settlement. This comprehensive record provides a clear picture of your treatment journey.

Hit by a Ford F-Series? What You Need to Know

Last updated Tuesday, July 1st, 2025

Motor vehicle accidents are scary, and when you’re involved in one, especially with a large truck like a pickup, it can be an overwhelming and life-altering experience. The sheer size and weight of these vehicles mean that crashes often result in more severe damage and more serious injuries for those in smaller passenger cars. Did you know that the Ford F-Series, America’s best-selling pickup truck, is involved in a significant number of accidents across the country? Recent data indicates that the Ford F-Series has been involved in more fatal crashes (https://www.valuepenguin.com/top-deadliest-vehicles ) than any other car, truck, or SUV in the United States over recent years. While their widespread popularity naturally contributes to these numbers, it also means you’re statistically more likely to encounter one on the road, increasing your risk of a serious collision.

If you or a loved one has been in an accident, particularly one involving a Ford F-Series, you might be hesitant to call an attorney. We understand that hesitation completely. Many people feel this way, and their reasons are often valid concerns:

Attorney communicating the importance of physical therapy to client

“I can’t afford a lawyer.” This is a common worry, but at Isaacs & Isaacs, we operate on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay us any upfront legal fees, and we only get paid if we successfully win your case, either through a settlement or a court award. Your financial situation shouldn’t prevent you from seeking justice.
“It was partly my fault.” Even if you believe you share some responsibility for the accident, it’s crucial to have an experienced legal professional evaluate your situation. Accident laws vary, and many states follow rules like comparative negligence, meaning you might still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially at fault. Don’t let assumptions stop you from exploring your options.
“I don’t want to go to court.” The good news is that the vast majority of personal injury cases, including those from motor vehicle accidents, are settled outside of court through negotiation with insurance companies. Our goal is always to achieve a fair settlement without the need for a trial, though we are always prepared to go to court if it’s in your best interest.
“It seems like too much hassle.” Dealing with insurance adjusters, medical bills, and vehicle repairs after an accident can be incredibly stressful. When you hire Isaacs & Isaacs, we take on all these burdens. We handle all the complexities of your claim, from gathering crucial evidence and speaking with witnesses to negotiating with insurance companies, allowing you to focus entirely on your physical and emotional recovery.
“I don’t think my injuries are serious enough.” The full extent of injuries, especially those sustained in high-impact collisions, often isn’t immediately apparent. Symptoms can develop days or even weeks after an accident. It’s always in your best interest to seek medical attention and then get a professional legal opinion to ensure all potential damages are considered.

At Isaacs & Isaacs, we are not just experienced attorneys; we are compassionate advocates dedicated to standing by your side. With over 400 years of combined legal experience and a track record of recovering over $2 billion for our clients, we understand the devastating physical, emotional, and financial challenges you’re facing. We pride ourselves on providing clear communication and aggressive representation. Don’t go through this alone. If you’ve been in an accident involving a Ford F-Series, contact Isaacs & Isaacs today for a free, no-obligation consultation. We’re here 24/7 to help you seek the justice and compensation you truly deserve.
