Car Accidents in Utah
Intersection crashes like this are a frequent concern across Utah’s roadways. According to statewide data, nearly 40% of all injury crashes occur at or near intersections. The combination of turning vehicles, cross traffic, and red-light runners contributes significantly to the risk. Intersections like North Duder Street and West North Temple Street are particularly active during evening hours, increasing the chance of collisions.
Here’s a closer look at the kinds of challenges people may face following a crash like this:
- Emergency Room and Hospital Stays: Serious injuries often result in emergency room treatment followed by overnight observation or longer hospital stays. These visits can lead to large bills, especially for those without adequate insurance coverage. Even brief hospital stays may cost thousands.
- Pain Management and Medication: Injuries from a crash may require long-term use of medication to manage pain, inflammation, or infections. This can include physical side effects, complications from prescriptions, or dependency concerns that affect quality of life.
- Difficulty Returning to Routine: From missing work to skipping social events, the aftermath of a crash often disrupts daily routines. Even non-serious injuries can lead to lasting fatigue or stress that makes everyday activities feel overwhelming or unsafe.
- Legal and Insurance Stress: Many crash victims find themselves overwhelmed by paperwork, deadlines, and calls from insurance adjusters. Without a legal advocate, they may accept settlements that don’t cover the full cost of their recovery or future expenses.
