Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s roads see thousands of collisions every year, with many resulting in injuries that can disrupt victims’ lives for months or even years. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, motor vehicle crashes are among the leading causes of injury in our state. Whether a crash happens on a major highway or a local street, the impact can be physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming. Understanding some common causes can help drivers take precautions and reduce the risk of collisions.
If you or a loved one was hurt in a wreck, here are a few things to be aware of:
- Distracted Driving: Texting, adjusting the radio, or eating while driving are all distractions that increase crash risk. Even a moment’s distraction can result in severe collisions that cause whiplash, fractures, or head injuries.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drug impairment remains a major factor in Utah crashes. Impaired drivers often have delayed reactions and poor judgment, which can lead to devastating injuries for others sharing the road.
- Speeding: Excessive speed is a top contributor to accident severity. High-speed crashes increase the likelihood of catastrophic injuries like spinal cord trauma, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries.
- Failure to Obey Traffic Signals: Running red lights or stop signs can lead to serious T-bone or side-impact collisions, which tend to cause severe injuries due to the lack of protection on vehicle sides.
- Weather and Road Conditions: Rain, snow, or icy roads make driving more hazardous and reduce stopping distances. Drivers who don’t adjust their speed accordingly put themselves and others at greater risk.
