Car Accidents in Utah
Utah continues to see a steady number of injury-related accidents, particularly along busy urban routes like Harrison Boulevard. In 2022, there were over 26,000 crashes involving injuries across the state. City streets and intersections are common locations for these events, with speeding and failure to yield among the leading contributing factors. As the population grows and traffic increases, accident numbers have followed suit.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the long-term impacts crash victims may face:
- Back Injuries and Herniated Discs
The force of impact in a car crash can compress the spine and lead to disc injuries. These often cause radiating pain through the limbs and may affect mobility or strength. Recovery can require months of treatment, including physical therapy or surgery. - Lacerations and Deep Cuts: Broken glass, twisted metal, or airbag deployment can result in deep lacerations. These wounds often need stitches or even plastic surgery and may lead to long-term scarring or infection if not treated properly.
- Joint Damage: Knees, elbows, and shoulders are commonly injured in car accidents. Whether from bracing for impact or being thrown against a hard surface, joint injuries can affect quality of life. Dislocations and torn ligaments often require rehabilitation or surgical repair.
- Chest and Rib Injuries: Seatbelts save lives, but the force they apply can sometimes cause bruised or fractured ribs. These injuries can make breathing painful and may lead to complications like collapsed lungs or internal bleeding.
- Emotional Recovery: Accidents don’t just hurt the body. Many victims deal with post-crash anxiety, depression, or trauma-related stress. Psychological care can play a key role in long-term healing.
