Car Accidents in Utah
Thousands of people are injured in motor vehicle accidents across Utah each year. According to recent state data, crashes on highways and interstates contribute significantly to the total number of incidents. High-speed corridors like Interstate 84 are especially prone to serious collisions due to the volume of commercial and passenger vehicles traveling through rural and mountainous regions.
Crashes like these can lead to long-term consequences. Here’s how some common types of accident-related expenses can affect victims:
- Ambulance and Emergency Room Costs: The moment emergency medical services are needed, bills begin to accumulate. Even a short ambulance ride followed by a brief ER visit can cost thousands. Without proper insurance, these costs become a heavy burden for crash victims and their families.
- Specialist and Follow-Up Visits: After the ER, most people need ongoing care. Orthopedic visits, neurology consults, or physical therapy sessions are common, especially for those with broken bones or spinal injuries. These visits are often not fully covered by insurance, leaving patients with recurring bills.
- Surgical Procedures: Some injuries, like compound fractures or internal bleeding, require immediate surgery. These procedures can cost tens of thousands of dollars and may require extended hospital stays and aftercare.
- Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy: Recovery doesn’t end when a patient leaves the hospital. Physical therapy may continue for months or even years, depending on the severity of the injuries. Ongoing therapy helps restore mobility but can add up in costs over time.
- Mental Health Services: After a traumatic crash, many victims experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Therapy sessions and medications are crucial for healing but are often overlooked when calculating accident-related expenses.
