Car Accidents in Utah
Motor vehicle accidents continue to be a daily occurrence across Utah. In 2023, the state saw more than 61,000 crashes, many of which took place on city roads, just like Sandhill Road in Orem. These incidents can range from minor fender-benders to more serious wrecks involving long-term consequences for those involved.
Many victims face lasting physical limitations after a crash, which can impact their quality of life in the following ways:
- Reduced Mobility: Injuries such as broken bones, spinal damage, or soft tissue injuries often limit a person’s ability to move freely. Tasks like walking, lifting, or driving can become painful or impossible, requiring assistive devices or rehabilitation.
- Chronic Pain: Even after an injury heals, victims may continue to experience lingering pain. This can affect daily routines, sleep, and the ability to enjoy hobbies or social activities. Managing chronic pain often requires ongoing therapy or medication.
- Inability to Work: Some injuries prevent victims from returning to their previous jobs. In physical labor or hands-on roles, even a mild injury can force a career change or early retirement. For others, it may result in reduced hours or the inability to perform basic job duties.
- Dependence on Others: Victims with lasting limitations may need help from family, friends, or paid caregivers. This dependency can affect household dynamics and place emotional and financial strain on everyone involved.
