Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s growing population and expanding cities mean more drivers on the roads—and, unfortunately, more accidents. The state continues to report thousands of injury-causing accidents each year. While not all crashes lead to severe outcomes, even minor collisions can leave a lasting impact on those involved.
In this story, let’s focus on how vehicle damage can affect the outcomes and recovery process following a crash:
- Frame and Structural Damage: A crash can bend or damage the vehicle’s frame, making it unsafe to drive even if it looks fine. This type of damage often requires specialized repair, and insurance adjusters may deem the vehicle a total loss. Driving a structurally compromised vehicle increases the risk of injury in future accidents.
- Airbag Deployment: While airbags are lifesaving, their deployment often causes additional repair needs. Replacing airbags and fixing dashboard damage can be expensive. Once deployed, airbags must be replaced before the vehicle is considered roadworthy again.
- Wheel and Suspension Issues: Impacts can damage a vehicle’s wheels, axles, or suspension system. These mechanical issues may not be immediately obvious but can cause poor handling or increased tire wear. It’s important to get a post-accident inspection even after a low-speed crash.
- Electrical and Sensor Malfunctions: Modern vehicles rely heavily on sensors and electronics. A crash can interfere with systems like lane assist, brake sensors, or backup cameras. These problems might not trigger a warning light right away but can compromise the car’s safety systems.
- Insurance Adjustments: After an accident, insurance companies evaluate the cost of repairs and compare it to the vehicle’s value. This process can delay claims and leave drivers uncertain about next steps. An attorney can help ensure that these claims are handled fairly and quickly.
