Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, car crashes are a daily occurrence on highways, interstates, and city roads. Last year alone, over 61,000 collisions were reported, many involving injuries or loss of property. Interstate 15, which runs through American Fork, is one of the state’s busiest and most crash-prone routes.
One of the lesser-discussed impacts of crashes is how they affect victims’ jobs and income. Here are some of the most common challenges people face when recovering from a wreck:
- Missed Workdays: After a crash, victims may miss days—or even weeks—of work due to injuries, doctor appointments, or lack of transportation.
- Lost Wages: Without sick leave or short-term disability coverage, missing work can immediately cut into a person’s ability to pay rent, bills, or medical costs.
- Job Instability: Those in physically demanding jobs or hourly positions may struggle to maintain employment after an accident.
- Career Setbacks: Extended recovery periods may cause workers to miss key deadlines, training sessions, or promotions, setting their careers back months or years.
