Car Accidents in Utah
Crashes remain a serious issue on Utah roads, with more than 61,000 incidents recorded in 2023 alone. From city roads to neighborhood streets like Sandhill Road in Orem, drivers face risks daily. For victims, the crash often marks the beginning of a difficult recovery process that touches every part of their life.
One area that frequently suffers after an accident is a person’s financial stability. Here’s how a crash can shake up someone’s financial situation:
- Emergency Medical Expenses: ER visits, ambulance rides, and immediate diagnostic tests can cost thousands of dollars, even for those with insurance. Victims may face high deductibles or discover certain treatments aren’t covered at all.
- Prescription and Therapy Costs: Injuries often require follow-up care like physical therapy or ongoing medication. These costs build up quickly and may continue for months or even years, depending on the severity of the injury.
- Loss of Income: Time away from work, especially without paid leave, can cause victims to fall behind on rent, bills, or loan payments. This stress adds to the pressure of healing physically and emotionally.
- Unplanned Household Costs: From child care to hiring help for tasks victims can no longer perform, everyday life often becomes more expensive. These hidden costs are rarely considered in initial insurance settlements.
