Unpacking the Accusation
An Accusation outlines the allegations against you. It’s vital to read through this document thoroughly to understand the claims you’re being asked to address. Common allegations can include:
- Standard of Care Violations
- Ethical Violations
- Substance Abuse
Each case is unique, so the nature of allegations can vary widely.
The Importance of Timely Response
Every Accusation from the Physical Therapy Board of California comes with a deadline to submit your Notice of Defense. In most instances, you have 15 days from the date of receiving the Accusation to submit your Notice of Defense to the Attorney General’s office.

Missing this window could lead to default decisions being taken against you which can range from license suspension to revocation.
