Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, thousands of individuals are hurt each year in motor vehicle crashes that range in severity. From local roads in Salt Lake City to major state highways, injury accidents continue to affect families across the state. The Utah Department of Public Safety emphasizes the importance of driving attentively and making safe decisions to reduce the number of injuries.
Let’s break down the physical toll car crashes can take—even in lower-speed collisions:
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Whiplash and other soft tissue damage often occur when the neck or back is jarred. These injuries can lead to chronic pain and reduced mobility for weeks or months.
- Broken Bones: Fractures are common in both high-speed and lower-speed crashes. They may require casting, surgery, and long-term rehabilitation depending on severity and location.
- Spinal Injuries: Back injuries can range from herniated discs to spinal fractures. These injuries can affect mobility and often result in long-term medical needs or physical limitations.
- Lacerations and Contusions: Broken glass, twisted metal, or impact with the interior of a car can cause deep cuts or bruises. Even minor injuries can result in significant scarring or infection.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Head trauma, even without a visible wound, can lead to concussions or more serious TBIs. These affect memory, mood, and cognitive abilities and may require extended recovery time.
