Doe v. Dynamic Physical Therapy, LLC

On December 8, 2025, in the United States, an anonymous plaintiff identified as Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit against Dynamic Physical Therapy, LLC. The complaint alleges that a physical therapist employed by the company sexually assaulted Doe during a private treatment session. It further claims the clinic failed to conduct adequate background checks, provide proper supervision, or maintain patient privacy safeguards. The defendant denies liability, arguing the alleged acts were outside the scope of employment and that the company followed standard hiring protocols. The case centers on whether the clinic owed and breached a duty of care, and whether corporate policies were sufficient to prevent harm. As of the latest filings, the case remains active in federal court, with discovery ongoing.

No final judgment has been publicly reported. The case is currently pending before the U.S. District Court, with motions and discovery still in progress.

Whether Dynamic Physical Therapy, LLC can be held vicariously liable for the intentional torts of its employee; whether the clinic breached its duty of care through negligent hiring, supervision, or inadequate privacy policies; and whether the plaintiff's anonymity should be maintained given the sensitive nature of the allegations.

The case has drawn attention to patient safety in outpatient physical therapy settings. Advocacy groups have cited it in calls for mandatory chaperone policies, stricter background checks, and clearer consent protocols during hands-on treatment. It has also prompted some clinic chains to review their supervision and reporting procedures, and raised public awareness about the legal concept of vicarious liability in healthcare.
