Car Accidents in Utah
Each year, thousands of people suffer injuries in car accidents across Utah. With over 60,000 reported crashes annually, many victims face medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. Factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and failing to yield contribute to many of these accidents.
Understanding common injuries from crashes can help victims recognize when to seek medical care:
- Whiplash: A sudden impact can cause the head and neck to snap forward and backward, leading to soft tissue injuries. This is one of the most common injuries in crashes.
- Concussions: Head injuries from airbag deployment or impact with a window can cause concussions, leading to memory problems, dizziness, and headaches.
- Broken Bones: The force of a crash can result in fractures, particularly in the arms, legs, and ribs. Some fractures may require surgery and long-term rehabilitation.
- Back and Spinal Injuries: Damage to the spine can result in chronic pain or, in severe cases, paralysis. Even minor back injuries can cause lasting discomfort.
- Internal Injuries: Organ damage and internal bleeding may not be immediately apparent but can be life-threatening without prompt medical attention.
