Kroner Chiropractic treats personal injuries in Yakima, Washington, including injuries from car accidents, slips and falls, and other incidents caused by someone else’s negligence. Alongside treatment, we provide the detailed examination findings, imaging, and progress documentation that insurance claims and legal cases require.

Treatment and documentation are both part of recovery

When you are injured because of someone else’s actions, you are dealing with two problems at once. There is the injury, and there is the process of proving it.

Those are not separate concerns. The medical record created during your treatment is the evidence in your claim. Vague records, gaps in treatment, and missing measurements weaken a legitimate case, and injured people frequently do not learn this until it is too late to fix.

We treat the injury and we document it properly, because both matter to how this ends for you.

Injuries we treat

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle accident injuries
  • Slip and fall injuries
  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Back injuries, including disc involvement
  • Shoulder, knee, and other joint injuries
  • Soft tissue sprains and strains
  • Headaches following an injury

If your injury falls outside what chiropractic care can address, we will tell you and refer you appropriately.

What we document

A thorough personal injury record includes more than a note saying you were seen. Ours includes:

  • A detailed history connecting the incident to your symptoms
  • Objective examination findings, including measured range of motion
  • Digital imaging when indicated, taken on site
  • A specific diagnosis
  • Your treatment plan and its clinical rationale
  • Progress notes tracking measurable change over time
  • Documentation of functional limitations, meaning what you cannot do that you could before

These records are provided to your attorney or insurer whenever you request them.

Why treatment gaps hurt your case

One thing worth understanding early: if you stop treatment for several weeks and then resume, insurers commonly argue that the gap proves you had recovered and that anything afterward is unrelated.

If you need to pause treatment for any reason, tell us so it can be documented properly. If cost is the concern, say so, because there are usually options. The worst outcome is disappearing without explanation.

Common Questions

Do I need an attorney to be treated for a personal injury?

No. We treat injured patients whether or not they are represented. If you do have an attorney, we coordinate with them and provide records on request. If you are deciding whether to consult one, that is your decision to make and we do not give legal advice.

Will you provide records for my insurance claim?

Yes. Your examination findings, imaging, diagnosis, treatment, and progress notes are all documented and can be provided to your attorney or insurer whenever you request them.

How do I pay for treatment while my claim is pending?

It depends on the type of claim. Car accident injuries are commonly covered by personal injury protection on your own auto policy, which pays regardless of fault. If you do not have PIP, or your claim is against another party, we accept Letters of Protection and place a lien against the eventual settlement, which means we can treat you now and be paid when your case resolves. Call (509) 972-4000 and we will explain what applies to your circumstances.

How soon after an injury should I be seen?

As soon as possible. Early evaluation catches injuries sooner, and it establishes the connection between the incident and your symptoms while that connection is clear rather than something to argue about later.

What if I did not feel hurt right away?

That is common, particularly with soft tissue injuries, which frequently take one to three days to become symptomatic. Come in when symptoms appear and tell us the date and details of the incident so it is documented accurately.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Your claim number and insurance information, the police or incident report if there is one, your attorney’s contact information if you have representation, and any imaging or records from another provider who has already seen you.
