Case Support for Your Car Accident Claim
Portland’s chiropractic clinic specializing in PIP, insurance, and documentation that strengthens your case.
After a crash, your recovery and your claim depend on clear, organized medical records. At Crash Care Clinics, we treat your injuries and make sure your documentation, imaging, and communication support the outcomes you deserve.
Why Case Support Matters
Car accident cases rely on:
- Clear documentation that ties your injuries to the crash
- Imaging that shows objective findings (X-rays, MRIs, reports)
- Treatment plans and progress notes that prove medical necessity
- Accurate billing and coding for Oregon PIP
We help you handle all of it—so you can focus on healing.
How Crash Care Clinics Supports Your Case
1. Detailed Crash-Specific Evaluation
We perform a comprehensive exam that documents the full picture of your injuries: history of the crash, how your body moved, orthopedic tests, neurologic findings, functional limitations, and pain patterns.
2. Imaging to Support Your Case (X-rays + MRI Referrals)
You won’t have to guess whether something is wrong—we coordinate the imaging you need:
- X-rays when structural changes or alignment issues are suspected
- MRI referrals if disc injuries, ligament damage, or nerve irritation are possible
We include these reports in your file so your injuries are clearly documented.
3. Clean, Organized Records
Your records are written clearly, consistently, and in a format attorneys and adjusters actually like reading. We maintain:
- Daily visit notes

Everything is easy to understand and ready for your attorney.

Common Questions and Answers
Q: What is Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in Oregon and who is covered?
A: In Oregon, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is an auto insurance coverage required in every policy that provides immediate medical benefits after a car accident, regardless of fault. It covers the policyholder and eligible passengers, bicyclists or pedestrians involved in a crash.
Q: How much medical benefit does Oregon’s PIP law include and for how long?
A: Oregon law mandates a minimum PIP medical benefit of $15,000 and coverage for up to 2 years from the date of the accident. Some policies may include optional additional benefits such as lost wages or essential household services.
Q: What types of services are covered under PIP in Oregon?
A: Covered services under Oregon PIP include a range of medical treatments, such as: chiropractic care (for whiplash, neck/back pain), massage therapy, acupuncture, medical imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT), doctor visits (urgent/primary/specialist), physical therapy, urgent care or emergency services.
Q: Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor or acupuncturist under PIP in Oregon?
A: No referral is required in Oregon to see a chiropractor or acupuncturist under PIP coverage. However, seeing a licensed massage therapist under PIP may require a referral from a chiropractor.
Q: What if I was a passenger, bicyclist, or pedestrian in an accident—am I still covered by PIP?
A: Yes. If you were a passenger, bicyclist, or pedestrian in a car accident in Oregon, you are still eligible for PIP benefits—either through your own auto policy or the driver’s policy. You do not need to be the driver to use PIP benefits.
Q: What happens when my PIP benefits run out?
A: If you require ongoing care beyond the PIP limits in Oregon, options include: using your health insurance for continued treatment or, if you’ve retained an attorney, continuing treatment under a lien—where services are paid for by the eventual settlement for pain and suffering.
Q: I don’t want to open a claim with my own insurance. Can’t you just bill the other driver’s insurance?
A: In Oregon, the at-fault driver’s insurance does not pay medical bills up front. All accident-related care must be billed through your own PIP coverage, even if you weren’t at fault. PIP ensures your treatment is covered immediately, and the at-fault insurance reimburses these costs later during settlement.
