Car Accidents in Utah
Thousands of people are injured on Utah roads each year. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, the state recorded more than 61,000 motor vehicle accidents in 2023, many of which occurred on urban streets just like 20th Street. These wrecks often lead to physical injuries, vehicle damage, and a long recovery process.
In many cases, victims must also deal with the financial toll a crash can cause. Here are some of the most common expenses people face after being involved in a collision:
- Medical Bills: Emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, imaging, and physical therapy can quickly add up. Even with insurance, out-of-pocket costs can be significant. Some injuries require months of follow-up care, adding to the long-term financial burden. It’s important to track every expense after a crash for potential reimbursement.
- Vehicle Repairs or Replacement: Depending on the severity of the crash, victims may need costly repairs or even a new vehicle altogether. If the vehicle is totaled, insurance companies may only cover part of the value. Many drivers end up paying additional expenses out-of-pocket or dealing with transportation issues in the meantime.
- Lost Wages: Those injured in a car accident often miss time from work. Whether it’s a few days or several weeks, the income lost can create serious financial stress. Some victims are forced to use vacation time or go unpaid during their recovery.
- Long-Term Disability Costs: In more serious cases, injuries may leave someone permanently or partially disabled. This can result in ongoing medical costs, modifications to living spaces, or long-term care. Adapting to this new reality can be physically, emotionally, and financially draining.
