Car Accidents in Utah
Every year, thousands of car accidents occur in Utah, resulting in injuries and financial burdens for victims. Roadways like North County Blvd, with frequent traffic and high speeds, can be particularly dangerous.
Here are some of the most frequent injuries sustained in car crashes:
- Head and Brain Injuries – Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are common in high-impact crashes. Even a mild TBI can cause headaches, memory issues, and dizziness, while severe brain trauma can result in permanent cognitive impairments.
- Back and Spinal Cord Damage – Spinal injuries can lead to chronic pain or, in severe cases, paralysis. The force of a crash may cause herniated discs or nerve damage, requiring long-term rehabilitation or surgery.
- Broken Bones and Fractures – The impact of a collision often leads to fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, and collarbone. Some fractures require surgery and extensive physical therapy to regain mobility.
- Internal Injuries – Blunt force trauma from an accident can damage internal organs, such as the liver, spleen, or lungs. These injuries may not be immediately noticeable but can become life-threatening without prompt medical attention.
- Psychological Trauma – Many victims experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following an accident. Anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances can affect daily life long after physical injuries have healed.
