We work on a lien for qualifying personal injury cases. That means we bill your injury claim directly — not your health insurance, not your wallet. You get treatment now and your bill is resolved from your case proceeds. Most patients pay $0 out of pocket.

Personal injury cases we treat

Personal injury cases involve injuries caused by someone else’s negligence — whether on someone’s property, in a public space, or in another type of incident. We evaluate and treat the full range of injuries these events cause.

Slip and fall injuries

Falls on wet floors, uneven surfaces, parking lots, and other hazardous conditions cause back, neck, hip, knee, and shoulder injuries. We evaluate and document these injuries thoroughly.

Premises liability injuries

Injuries that occur on another party’s property due to unsafe conditions — stores, restaurants, parking lots, and private property. We treat and document the resulting musculoskeletal injuries.

Other personal injury events

Injuries resulting from another party’s negligence that don’t fall into auto accident or work injury categories. Call us to discuss your situation — we can help you understand your options.

Injuries we treat in personal injury cases

Slip and fall and premises liability incidents produce the same range of musculoskeletal injuries as auto accidents. Dr. Brunkhorst evaluates and treats all of them.

Back and spine

Lumbar and thoracic strain, disc injuries, and spinal dysfunction from impact and awkward falls.

Neck and cervical

Cervical strain and soft tissue injuries from falls, bracing, and sudden impact.

Hip and knee

Hip and knee injuries are common in slip and fall incidents — we evaluate and treat the resulting soft tissue and joint injuries.

Shoulder and wrist

Bracing during a fall frequently causes shoulder, elbow, and wrist injuries. We treat the full range of upper extremity soft tissue injuries.

Soft tissue injuries

Sprains, strains, and myofascial injuries addressed with targeted soft tissue mobilization, therapeutic exercise, and Class 4 laser therapy.

Documentation for your case

Thorough clinical records that accurately reflect your injuries and the treatment provided — essential for any personal injury claim.

Common questions about personal injury care

Do I need health insurance to be seen?

No. For qualifying personal injury cases, we work on a lien — your health insurance is not billed and you pay nothing upfront. Call us at (618) 235-1500 to confirm your situation qualifies.

How soon after an injury should I come in?

As soon as possible. Early evaluation and documentation is important for both your recovery and your claim. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen — call us at (618) 235-1500.

What if my symptoms developed over a few days?

This is common. Soft tissue injuries often do not become fully symptomatic right away. Come in as soon as symptoms appear — delayed onset does not disqualify you from care or lien-based treatment.

Do I need a referral to be seen?

No referral needed. Call us directly at (618) 235-1500. We will evaluate your injuries and build a care plan based on your specific situation.
